The Belfast Sink
With the introduction of fireclay manufacture different patterns of sinks evolved. The most recognized of these being the Belfast and London models. The Belfast sink has a distinguishing weir overflow whereas the London sink has no overflow. This was due to the fact that Belfast, with access to a plentiful water supply had a sink with an overflow, whereas in London water was more scarce and therefore no overflows were added to sinks to discourage water wastage.

Shaws also manufacture ranges of laboratory sinks, cleaners sinks and fireclay ceramic slab urinals. Fireclay is a ideal material which is heavy duty product designed specifically for commercial applications.
