BURLY

How a Burly sink is made

Every Burly sink moves through six tightly-controlled stages over roughly seven days inside our own plant in Bareja, Gujarat.

  • Slip preparation. Kaolin, ball clay, German chamotte, feldspar, and silica are blended into a liquid slip with controlled viscosity and specific gravity.
  • Slip casting. Slip is poured into plaster moulds. As water draws into the plaster, a 12 mm to 45 mm fireclay wall builds against the mould.
  • Greenware curing. Castings cure for 72 hours under controlled humidity to prevent micro cracks before the first bisque firing.
  • Bisque firing. An initial low temperature firing hardens the body, preparing it for glaze adhesion.
  • Glaze application. Glaze is hand sprayed in even passes by trained applicators, never dipped, never machine painted.
  • Final fire at 1,250°C. The vitrifying fire fuses glaze and body into a single ceramic surface, non-porous, acid-resistant, and lifelong.
