Constructed from extremely durable steel that is not prone to dents and damage, Pintura sinks are coated with thick porcelain enamel and double-fired at 1500°F to create a resilient high-gloss finish that helps resist chips, scratches, and stains. The ultra-smooth non-porous surface is easy to clean for minimal maintenance. Undermount installation creates a seamless transition between sink and countertop for a beautifully finished look, with no exposed mounting deck to trap food and debris. The high-capacity single bowl sink offers ample space for large cookware and stacks of dishes. Engineered for easy draining, the gently sloped bottom helps prevent water from pooling in the sink. Designed for a fresh modern look, the tight-radius corners are easy to clean, helping reduce build-up over time. NoiseDefend technology with thick sound dampening pads and a protective foil layer helps reduce noise and vibration when the sink is in use. The installation-ready sink comes with cutout template and all mounting hardware. Matching drain assembly sold separately. With the premium look of cast iron, Pintura sinks offer an easy way to transform your kitchen with lasting quality and style.
