The ALFI ABF1818S fireclay kitchen sink offers versatile undermount, drop-in, or flush-mount installation. Its ultra-hygienic, scratch-resistant glazed surface resists stains, thermal shock, and bacteria for effortless cleaning and lasting beauty.
Unmatched Versatility and Installation
The ALFI ABF1818S redefines kitchen sink flexibility with its triple installation capability. Designed to seamlessly integrate into any kitchen design, it can be installed as a sleek undermount, a classic drop-in, or a contemporary flush-mount sink. This adaptability ensures it is the perfect choice for new construction, kitchen remodels, or cabinet replacements. Its standard 3 ½” rear center drain and compatibility with garbage disposals add to its practical, user-friendly design, making it a universally suitable centerpiece for any culinary space.
Superior Fireclay Construction
Crafted from fine fireclay and finished with a high-gloss glaze, this sink is built for a lifetime of performance. The raw material ensures a uniform, durable finish that maintains its brilliant shine for years. Unlike other materials, fireclay is exceptionally resilient, offering a robustness that stands up to the rigors of daily kitchen use. The organic nature of fireclay means each sink is uniquely its own, with minor, natural imperfections that add character without compromising on quality or function.
An Ultra-Hygienic Kitchen Surface
Maintain a pristine cooking environment with the ALFI sink’s non-porous, glazed surface. The finish is practically impervious to bacteria from food preparation, providing a significantly more hygienic surface than stainless steel or composite alternatives. Stains from coffee, wine, and other common kitchen spills cannot penetrate the glaze and can be effortlessly wiped away, ensuring your sink remains spotless with minimal maintenance.
Exceptional Durability and Scratch Resistance
Designed for the real world, this sink shrugs off the challenges of a busy kitchen. Pots, pans, and knives will not scratch or mar its hardened surface, preserving its like-new appearance. Furthermore, the sink is completely immune to thermal shock, meaning you can pour boiling water or icy liquids directly into the basin without any risk of cracking or damage, a common concern with other sink materials.
Effortless Cleaning and Maintenance
The brilliantly smooth glaze isn't just for show; it makes cleanup a breeze. Acids and harsh chemical cleaners have virtually no adverse effect, allowing for easy sanitation without worry of damaging the finish. Even stubborn marks, including cigarette burns, wipe away effortlessly, guaranteeing your sink will always look its best with simple, routine care.
Specifications and Installation Notes
Weighing 80 lbs and measuring 18 x 18 x 8 inches, this substantial single-bowl sink provides a spacious area for all cleaning tasks. A minimum cabinet size of 20 inches is required for proper support. It is crucial to support the sink from beneath during installation, regardless of the method chosen, to ensure its longevity by distributing its weight evenly and preventing stress on the edges.
