Specifying fireclay for hospitality projects
Trade · 8 min read · 2025-07-04
Hospitality projects are unforgiving. The sinks see twenty times the cycles of a residential bowl and they're audited by inspectors who look for a specific stack of certifications.
For North American hotels, the certifications worth confirming are cUPC under standard B45, ISO 9001, and the project-specific WRAS or CE marks if the property is European or follows European plumbing code.
Bowl depth matters more than width for hospitality. Ten inches handles stockpots and stainless inserts without splash. We recommend the Mason 33 Double for two-prep counters and the Shaker 36 for back-of-house wash stations.
