The business was started in 2007 to satisfy a discerning fireclay butler and belfast sink seeker for their kitchen or laundry. Belfast sinks at that stage were very hard to source in Australia and as such were not found in kitchen or bathroom retail stores.

The purpose of the business was to bring high quality brand new fireclay kitchen sinks to Australian consumers who knew what they wanted but could not source them. It was our objective to also offer prices that were less than retail stores that did offer them by supplying directly from our warehouses.

Today fireclay has seen a resurgence on two fronts as it is again a popular look for both modern and classic kitchens, as well as new styles being developed to evolve a classic look.
