Elegant and Durable Kitchen Centerpiece
The ALFI AB1717UM 17" undermount round granite composite kitchen prep sink combines sophisticated Italian design with exceptional durability, creating a stunning focal point for any culinary space. Crafted from premium granite composite materials, this sink delivers the luxurious appearance of natural stone while providing superior resistance to scratches, stains, and daily wear. Its compact 17 1/8" x 8 1/4" exterior dimensions make it an ideal solution for smaller kitchens, secondary prep areas, or wet bars where space optimization is crucial without compromising on style or functionality.
Premium Granite Composite Construction
Engineered with high-quality granite composite materials, this undermount kitchen sink offers remarkable resilience against the demands of daily culinary activities. The non-porous surface resists staining from common kitchen substances including coffee, wine, and oils, while its scratch-resistant properties maintain its elegant appearance even after years of use. The granite composite material provides excellent sound dampening qualities, reducing noise from water flow and utensil contact compared to traditional stainless steel sinks, creating a more peaceful kitchen environment.
Italian Design Excellence
Designed and manufactured in Italy, this ALFI sink embodies European craftsmanship and attention to detail that discerning homeowners expect. The round basin design features smooth, flowing lines that complement both traditional and contemporary kitchen aesthetics. With an inner bowl size of 13 3/4" x 7 3/4", the sink provides ample space for food preparation, cleaning, and other kitchen tasks while maintaining a compact footprint that maximizes counter space efficiency.
Seamless Undermount Installation
This sink is designed for undermount installation, creating a smooth transition between countertop and basin for a streamlined, professional appearance. The included undermount installation hardware ensures secure mounting beneath your countertop material, whether you choose granite, quartz, marble, or solid surface materials. The recommended counter top cut out hole of 15 3/8" allows for proper support and installation, while the rear drain placement provides compatibility with most garbage disposal units for added convenience.
Exceptional Thermal Durability
The ALFI AB1717UM granite composite sink withstands severe thermal shocks and very high temperatures without damage, making it exceptionally suitable for busy kitchens. This thermal resistance means you can safely place hot pots and pans directly into the sink without worrying about surface damage or thermal cracking. The material maintains its structural integrity and appearance even when exposed to extreme temperature variations, ensuring long-term performance and reliability in demanding kitchen environments.
Easy Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintaining the pristine appearance of your ALFI undermount sink requires minimal effort thanks to its non-porous granite composite surface. The smooth finish resists bacteria growth and prevents absorption of liquids and odors, making cleanup quick and hygienic. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is all that's needed to keep your sink looking like new. The undermount installation eliminates dirt-catching edges between the countertop and sink, further simplifying your cleaning routine and maintaining a sanitary food preparation area.
Certified Quality and Compatibility
This kitchen prep sink carries the Uniform Plumbing Code (cUPC) certification, ensuring it meets rigorous safety and performance standards for residential use. The sink accommodates standard plumbing fixtures and is compatible with most garbage disposal units, though the drain is not included (recommended model: ABST35). With a minimum cabinet size requirement of 18 inches, this undermount sink fits comfortably in most kitchen configurations, providing flexibility for both new construction and renovation projects while delivering professional-grade performance.
