ALFI ABF2718UD Fireclay Kitchen Sink offers superior durability with its heat and scratch-resistant glossy finish, designed for undermount or drop-in installation in modern kitchens.
Uncompromising Durability and Timeless Elegance
The ALFI ABF2718UD Fireclay Kitchen Sink redefines kitchen luxury with its solid, high-grade fireclay construction. Meticulously crafted using high-pressure casting, this sink delivers exceptional resilience against daily wear and tear, including acids, alkalis, scratches, and chipping. The deep, uniform glossy finish not only provides a brilliant shine but also ensures long-lasting performance, making it a stunning and practical centerpiece for any culinary space.
Superior Fireclay Material and Craftsmanship
Constructed from fine fireclay, this sink boasts a uniformity in finish that is unmatched by other materials. The high-pressure casting process ensures a dense, non-porous surface that resists staining and bacterial growth. This meticulous craftsmanship results in a product that is not only beautiful but also incredibly hygienic and easy to maintain, providing a pristine cooking environment for years to come.
Flexible Installation Options
Designed for ultimate versatility, the ALFI sink can be installed as either an undermount or a drop-in model, thanks to its glazed-over hanging lip. This flexibility allows homeowners and contractors to seamlessly integrate it into various countertop designs and cabinet configurations. Whether you're remodeling or building new, this sink adapts to your specific kitchen layout and aesthetic preferences.
Exceptional Heat and Impact Resistance
Engineered to withstand the rigors of a busy kitchen, this fireclay sink is heat resistant up to 350°F. Rigorously tested to ensure it won't crack from thermal shock, you can confidently place hot pots and pans directly into the basin without worry. This exceptional heat tolerance, combined with its impact-resistant properties, makes it an ideal choice for serious home chefs and professional kitchens alike.
Effortless Cleaning and Maintenance
The non-porous, glossy glazed surface of the ALFI sink prevents food particles and liquids from penetrating, making cleanup remarkably simple. Stains wipe away easily with minimal effort, and the surface maintains its brilliant shine without requiring special cleaners or treatments. This low-maintenance characteristic ensures your sink always looks its best with everyday care.
Proper Installation and Support Requirements
For optimal performance and longevity, proper installation is crucial. The sink requires support from beneath, even when installed as a drop-in model, to ensure the weight is distributed evenly and not resting solely on its edges. We recommend using the undermount installation kit (Model #: ABUMSB) or creating a custom support system with 2x4's and plywood to create a stable, flat surface that will secure your investment for years of reliable use.
Technical Specifications and Considerations
Featuring a standard 3 1/2" rear center drain that is compatible with garbage disposals, this sink combines functionality with elegant design. Please note that due to the organic nature of fireclay, dimensions may vary by up to 1/8 inch. We recommend having the sink on location before finalizing countertop and cabinet cutouts to ensure a perfect fit for your installation.
