If you are looking beyond stainless steel, and want to add some color and character to your kitchen design, this is an elegant choice. The sink is constructed from 80% crushed natural granite, giving the sink extreme durability and the look of real stone. The sink is colored all the way through, for a rich and consistent look that will never discolor. The surface of the sink undergoes a proprietary treatment making it resistant to stains, bacteria, and extreme temperatures up to 536° Fahrenheit. The sink comes with a basket strainer drain assembly that traps food waste and is easy to empty into the trash.
