Carron Phoenix is best known for its sink manufacturing these days but we can trace our roots back to 1759 when The Carron Company was founded as an iron foundry in Falkirk. Back then, The Carron Company became a manufacturing power-house, driving the industrial revolution in Scotland to a point where it employed 5000 people, operated it's own fleet of steam ships and even issued its own currency to enable global trading. During The Carron Company's history it made domestic items like flat irons, cast iron baths, range cookers and most famously the Carronade cannons used by Wellington at Waterloo.
Minor scratching of the sink's surface is extremely difficult to avoid and is not something to be unduly concerned about. The drainer area in particular is likely to pick up scratches due to hard objects placed upon it. These marks are usually only superficial and can be removed with a proprietary stainless steel cleaner. A useful alternative is a car paint restorer such as 'T-Cut.'. The quality of your water can affect the good looks of your sink by giving the appearance of staining. This "staining" is generally a build-up of lime scale or similar mineral deposit, particularly prevalent in hard water areas.
Famed for the manufacture of the iconic red telephone boxes and pillar boxes still in use throughout the UK today, the Carron Iron Company was considered to be the centre of the industrial revolution in Scotland and quickly became the largest iron works in Europe. Moving forward more than 250 years Carron Phoenix is now one of the leading manufacturers of kitchen sinks in the UK.
