Solid Surface Sinks

Solid-surface sinks are made from a man-made resin material. The same material used in solid surface countertops (see our Solid Surface page). When a solid surface sink is "seamed" to a solid surface countertop by an experienced fabricator, the effect is of a monolithic, "seamless" sink/worktop combination with no unsightly, unhygienic "ring" or undermount "lip”. This is known as an integral sink and can be fabricated in the same color or in a contrasting color. Your fabricator can even craft a custom routed drainboard or inlay designs in your sink or countertop.

Solid surface sinks come in a staggering variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Other advantages of solid surface sinks are durability, ease of maintenance and repair. Some disadvantages to solid surface material are its aversion to extreme heat, light solid colors may show spots, and dark colors may show scratches.

To help insure a quality job, it is highly recommended that you hire a fabricator/installer who is a member of the International Solid Surface Fabricators Association (ISSFA) and thus agrees to observe the ISSFA Fabricator Member Code of Ethics. To find an ISSFA fabricator member in your area, visit the ISSFA Fabricator Member Directory  ; “log in” on our web site and click our “Local Resources” box (bottom right corner); or call the ISSFA National Headquarters at 702-567-8150.
