Belfast Style Stainless Steel Sink

The Timeless Appeal of Belfast Design

What makes a Belfast sink special? Originally designed for Irish farmhouses in the 1700s, Belfast sinks were built deep and wide to handle large volumes of water before the days of running taps. Today, that generous size makes them incredibly practical for modern kitchens—perfect for washing large pots, baking trays, and even small children's bath toys!

The Ellsi Excel honours this heritage while solving the traditional problems:

• Traditional Belfast: Heavy ceramic that can chip or crack
• Ellsi Excel: Lightweight stainless steel that's virtually indestructible
• Traditional Belfast: Limited colour options (white only)
• Ellsi Excel: Stunning Gold or Copper finishes that make a statement
• Traditional Belfast: Difficult to keep clean, shows stains
• Ellsi Excel: Antibacterial coating with easy-wipe surface

Three Times More Hygienic - Patented Antibacterial Technology

This isn't just marketing—it's science. The Ellsi Excel features patented antibacterial stainless steel that actively inhibits bacterial growth on the surface. Independent testing shows it's up to 3x more hygienic than conventional kitchen sinks.

Why does this matter?

• Reduces the risk of cross-contamination when preparing food
• Stays fresher between cleaning sessions
• Ideal for families with young children or elderly members
• Better for raw meat preparation and food safety
• Gives you peace of mind in the heart of your home

The antibacterial properties are built into the steel itself, so they won't wear off over time like coatings on cheaper sinks.

Gold or Copper? Choose Your Kitchen Statement

Gold Finish - Warm Luxury
The gold finish adds instant opulence to your kitchen. It's not brash or garish—it's a sophisticated, brushed gold that catches the light beautifully. Perfect for:

• Traditional country kitchens with warm tones
• Art Deco or glamorous kitchen designs
• Pairing with brass or gold tap fixtures
• Creating a focal point in neutral-coloured kitchens
• Adding warmth to modern grey or white schemes

Copper Finish - Rustic Elegance
The copper finish brings natural warmth and character. With subtle variations in tone that give each sink unique personality, it's ideal for:

• Industrial-style kitchens with exposed brick or metal
• Rustic farmhouse designs with wood and stone
• Mediterranean or cottage-style interiors
• Matching with copper cookware and accents
• Creating an organic, lived-in feel

Both finishes feature the same antibacterial properties and easy-clean technology—the choice is purely about your personal style.

Deep and Spacious - 220mm Bowl Depth

How deep should a Belfast sink be? The Ellsi Excel's 220mm depth is generous without being impractical. It's deep enough to:

• Submerge large roasting tins and oven trays
• Wash up stacks of dishes without overflow
• Soak stubborn burnt-on food overnight
• Bathe small pets (yes, really!)
• Hide dirty dishes when guests arrive unexpectedly
• Reduce splashing when washing up
• Fill large pasta pots without the tap spraying everywhere

The 600mm x 450mm basin gives you plenty of working space, making it one of the most practical sink choices for busy households.

Easy-Clean Finish That Stays Beautiful

Will a gold or copper sink show every fingerprint? Not with Ellsi's innovative finish. The specially engineered surface resists:

• Fingerprints - Touch it all day without visible marks
• Water Spots - No more polishing after every use
• Food Stains - Turmeric, beetroot, coffee—they wipe away easily
• Limescale - Reduced buildup even in hard water areas
• Scratches - Durable finish that hides minor marks

Simply wipe with a damp cloth and your sink looks pristine. No special cleaners needed, no endless buffing—just effortless maintenance that keeps your sink looking showroom-fresh for years.
