Italian-Designed Fireclay Farmhouse Sink
Experience the perfect fusion of Italian design excellence and exceptional functionality with the ALFI AB3618ARCH Arched Apron Fireclay Sink. Meticulously designed and crafted in Italy, this farmhouse sink brings European elegance and superior craftsmanship directly to your kitchen. Its stunning arched apron creates a dramatic focal point, transforming a utilitarian space into a sophisticated culinary environment worthy of admiration.
Unmatched Durability and Resilience
Constructed from solid high-grade fireclay using high-pressure casting techniques, this sink offers extraordinary resistance to daily kitchen challenges. The material naturally withstands acids, alkalis, scratches, and chipping, maintaining its beautiful appearance through years of heavy use. The extra-thick 1 3/8" fireclay walls provide substantial weight and stability, ensuring your investment remains pristine while handling everything from delicate glassware to heavy cookware.
Versatile Installation Options
This farmhouse sink offers remarkable installation flexibility to accommodate various kitchen designs and preferences. You can choose between under-mount installation (countertop over edge of sink), top-mount installation (countertop under edge of sink), or flush-mount installation (countertop even with sink). This versatility makes the sink compatible with numerous countertop materials and cabinet configurations, providing design freedom for both new constructions and kitchen renovations.
Functional Design and Dimensions
With exterior dimensions of 36" x 18 1/8" x 10", the ALFI farm sink provides ample space for handling large pots, baking sheets, and multiple dishes simultaneously. The dual bowl configuration features inner measurements of 13 3/4" x 15 3/8" x 9 7/8" and 18 1/8" x 15 3/8" x 9 7/8", offering practical separation for washing and rinsing tasks. The standard 3 1/2" center drain is compatible with garbage disposal units, adding modern convenience to traditional farmhouse appeal.
Considerations for Installation
The organic nature of fireclay means dimensions may vary by up to 1/8", which is characteristic of premium handmade products. We recommend having the sink on location before finalizing countertop and cabinet cutouts to ensure perfect fitment. The sink tapers slightly from top to bottom with a bottom width of 35 1/2" and top width of 36", requiring a minimum 36" cabinet for proper installation and optimal visual presentation.
Elevate Your Kitchen Experience
Beyond its practical benefits, the ALFI arched apron sink elevates your entire kitchen aesthetic with its graceful curves and timeless farmhouse charm. The deep basins accommodate large items with ease, while the fireclay surface remains cool to the touch and resistant to thermal shock. This combination of stunning design, robust construction, and functional excellence creates a kitchen centerpiece that balances beauty with unparalleled performance for discerning homeowners.
