32" Undermount Granite Composite Single Bowl Kitchen Sink in Black

Strength meets beauty in the Forteza™ Series of kitchen sinks. The basin is constructed from a premium granite composite that blends natural quartz with acrylic resin for superior durability and the luxurious look of real stone. An advanced, proprietary manufacturing process ensures even distribution of the material, for unparalleled resistance to thermal shock and damage from dropped items. The sink is colored all the way through, for a rich and consistent hue that is enhanced with UV protection to prevent fading. The surface repels stains, and is heat-safe up to 650°F to shield against hot cookware. The undermount design creates a seamless transition from sink to countertop, for a beautifully finished look.
