The ALFI AB3520DI Single Bowl Granite Composite Kitchen Sink offers Italian-designed elegance and superior thermal resistance for homeowners seeking a durable, low-maintenance centerpiece.
Sophisticated Italian Design and Unmatched Durability
The ALFI AB3520DI Single Bowl Kitchen Sink masterfully blends high-end Italian aesthetics with remarkable resilience, creating a stunning focal point for any modern kitchen. Designed and crafted in Italy, this sink brings European elegance directly into your home with its sleek, minimalist profile. The granite composite construction ensures a surface that is not only beautiful but also incredibly tough, resisting daily wear from heavy pots, sharp utensils, and abrasive cleaning. This combination of sophisticated design and rugged durability makes it an ideal choice for homeowners who refuse to compromise between style and substance in their kitchen spaces.
Premium Granite Composite Material
Constructed from high-quality granite composite, this sink delivers exceptional performance that stands the test of time. The material consists of approximately 80% natural granite stone mixed with acrylic resins, creating a non-porous surface that resists stains, scratches, and impacts far better than traditional stainless steel or porcelain sinks. This composition results in a warm, matte finish that feels soft to the touch while providing superior durability. The non-porous nature of granite composite prevents bacteria growth and makes cleaning remarkably simple – most messes wipe away with just soap and water, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals or special cleaners.
Thoughtful Design and Generous Dimensions
With exterior dimensions of 34 5/8" x 19 2/3" x 9 1/8" and a spacious inner bowl measuring 31 1/8" x 16 3/4" x 8 7/8", this single bowl sink provides ample room for handling large cookware and baking sheets with ease. The deep basin accommodates stacked dishes and oversized pots without splashing, while the generous workspace around the basin provides convenient landing areas for drying racks or cleaning supplies. The recommended countertop cutout of 33 1/8" x 18 7/8" with a 3/8" corner radius ensures a perfect fit during installation, creating a seamless transition between countertop and sink.
Straightforward Drop-In Installation
The ALFI AB3520DI features a user-friendly drop-in installation system that simplifies the setup process for both professionals and skilled DIY enthusiasts. The sink comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware, ensuring you have everything required for a secure and proper installation. The design includes one pre-drilled faucet hole in the center, with the option for your plumber to punch out two additional holes as needed based on the dimension diagram. This flexibility allows for customization based on your specific faucet configuration requirements, accommodating various kitchen setups and preferences.
Exceptional Thermal and Impact Resistance
Engineered to withstand severe thermal shocks and very high temperatures, this kitchen sink remains undamaged even when exposed to extreme heat from pots and pans straight from the stove. Unlike other materials that might crack, warp, or discolor under thermal stress, the granite composite maintains its structural integrity and appearance through years of heavy use. The material's natural strength also provides excellent resistance to chipping, cracking, and impact damage from dropped dishes or cookware, ensuring your investment remains beautiful and functional for decades.
CUPC Certified Quality and Compatibility
The ALFI AB3520DI carries the prestigious Uniform Plumbing Code (cUPC) certification, verifying that it meets rigorous standards for quality, safety, and performance. This certification provides peace of mind that your sink complies with national plumbing codes and industry best practices. While the drain is not included, the recommended ABST35 model ensures perfect compatibility and optimal performance. The sink requires a minimum cabinet size of 22 inches, making it suitable for most standard kitchen configurations while delivering maximum utility and aesthetic appeal.
