|
| |
|
What are the color variations shown with the sinks? |
|
|
Each style of sinks is painted with a specific color scheme. However the back of the sink is finished with either Copper, Gold or Silver metal leaf. This backing changes the entire look of the sink, and should be considered when selecting to match your own décor. All styles are also available in clear.
|
| |
|
Will the sinks look exactly the same as in the picture? |
|
|
No, each sink is hand made and individual colors within the painted motifs will vary.
|
| |
|
What type of edge do the sinks have? |
|
|
The standard edge configuration is smooth pencil-polish. If a customer wants the barked/frosted or eroded edge, they must specify with their order. There is an additional charge for the barked and eroded edges.

|
| |
|
What is the difference between a ‘barked’ and ‘eroded’ edge? |
|
|
The barked edge is a rough textured edge which has been sandblasted. The eroded edge is actually chipped and then sandblasted, and has a much deeper indentation. There is an additional charge for this edge.
|
| |
|
Can you do custom colors? |
|
|
Yes, each sink is handmade, and we will work with you on the color scheme. Although we cannot guarantee an exact match, we will ensure that the sink will blend with your color samples. There will be an additional charge for custom color.
|
| |
|
What about custom countertops and mirrors? |
|
|
Yes! Just email or fax us with your requirements and we will quote you within 48 hours.

| |
|
Do you have to order a Brass Mounting Ring to install the sink? |
|
|
No you don’t. Each sink comes with a metal mounting disc for above-counter installation. However, the bronze
mounting ring adds beauty to the sink, and is also functional for above-counter installation.
|
| |
|
What about installation? |
|
|
Installation instructions are included with each sink. A professional installer will be best able to adapt the installation to your particular needs. Sinks can be installed above-counter or slightly recessed. Please specify the type of installation you will be using and we will include the appropriate installation kit. Two general rules apply to installation. First, do not use adhesives with silicone, as silicone will bond to the decorative finish and cause damage. Second, do not over-tighten any attachment.
|
| |
|
What kind of drain should I use? |
|
|
We carry our own beautiful drains in four styles and four finishes (brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, satin gold and polished gold). We highly recommend that a grid drain or fixed dome of the non-overflow variety be used.

|
How do I clean my sink? |
|
|
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as Ajax, Comet, or Soft Scrub, either inside or outside. A good glass cleaner such as CRL Sprayaway Glass Cleaner is recommended for general cleaning. For water spots, lightly rub with 0000 Steel Wool (very fine), and water or glass cleaner. Then dry with a soft towel. 0000 steel wool is available at any hardware store. One small package will last for many months. A protective coating such as Rain-X (available in any automotive department) may be applied to help keep the bowl clean and free of spots.
|
| |
|
How do temperature extremes affect the sink? |
|
|
Thermal stress occurs when the glass is heated or cooled, either too suddenly or to extreme temperatures. Do not pour water into the bowl that is too hot to touch. Moderate the water temperature, and do not use an instantaneous water heater with your glass vessel sink.
|
| |
|
How long will my sink last? |
|
|
A Coyote Glass sink is a functional work of art, and made to last. It is not, however, indestructible. We recommend a few simple precautions to keep your sink in good condition. First, exercise proper care of the glass surface. Prevent contact with hard, sharp, or abrasive objects, both inside and outside the bowl, and avoid putting excessive pressure on the rim of the bowl. Follow the Care and Maintenance instructions and enjoy your Coyote Glass sink for many years to come!
