The ALFI AB1720UM undermount kitchen sink combines Italian-designed elegance with durable granite composite construction for a low-maintenance, high-performance food preparation center.
Italian-Designed Culinary Centerpiece
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail in Italy, the ALFI AB1720UM undermount sink brings European sophistication to your kitchen. This rectangular granite composite sink features clean lines and a modern aesthetic that seamlessly integrates with various kitchen styles, from contemporary to traditional. The undermount installation creates a sleek, seamless look with no rim interrupting your countertop surface, making cleanup effortless as you can wipe debris directly into the sink.
Exceptional Durability and Strength
Constructed from premium granite composite material, this kitchen prep sink offers remarkable resistance to scratches, stains, and impacts. The non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth and eliminates concerns about chipping or cracking that can occur with traditional materials. Unlike stainless steel, the granite composite finish doesn't show water spots or fingerprints, maintaining its elegant appearance with minimal effort.
Superior Thermal Performance
Engineered to withstand severe thermal shocks and very high temperatures, the ALFI sink remains undamaged by sudden temperature changes that would compromise other materials. This thermal resistance makes it ideal for busy kitchens where hot pots and pans are frequently placed directly in the sink. The material retains heat moderately, helping to maintain water temperature during food preparation tasks.
Optimized Dimensions for Food Preparation
With exterior dimensions of 16 1/8" x 17" x 8 1/4" and a generous inner bowl measuring 13 3/8" x 15 3/4" x 7 3/4", this sink provides ample space for washing vegetables, cleaning cookware, and handling other kitchen tasks. The rectangular shape maximizes usable space while fitting standard cabinet configurations, requiring a minimum cabinet size of 16 1/8 inches.
Simplified Installation Process
The ALFI AB1720UM includes complete undermount installation hardware for straightforward mounting beneath your countertop. For optimal fit, we recommend a countertop cutout of 13 5/16" x 15 11/16" with a 3/16" corner radius. The undermount design not only enhances visual appeal but also increases usable counter space by eliminating the rim that typically occupies valuable workspace.
Certified Quality and Compliance
This kitchen sink carries the Uniform Plumbing Code (cUPC) certification, ensuring it meets rigorous standards for material safety and performance. The certification provides assurance of quality construction and compliance with North American plumbing standards. While the drain is not included, we recommend the ABST35 model for optimal compatibility and performance.
Effortless Maintenance and Cleaning
The non-porous granite composite surface resists staining from common kitchen substances including coffee, wine, oil, and vinegar. Daily cleaning requires only mild soap and water, while occasional use of a non-abrasive cleaner will maintain the sink's lustrous appearance. The material's inherent resistance to scratching means you can use it confidently for all your food preparation needs without worrying about surface damage.
