your sink<br />
Single bowl, 1½<br />

bowl? Here’s some<br />
basic info about our<br />
sinks in stainless<br />
steel and porcelain.<br />
Single bowl<br />
Lots of space for rinsing<br />
food and doing the<br />

liquids while you’re<br />
washing up. No predrilled<br />
hole: you decide<br />
where to put the tap.<br />
Acrylic<br />
Withstands water, bacteria and<br />
stains. Easy to clean. The only<br />
worktop material that can be<br />
fully integrated with your sink.<br />
Stone<br />
Great option if you're looking<br />
for a moisture-resistant, hard<br />
wearing, scratch-resistant and<br />
maintenance-free worktop.<br />
Worktops must withstand a lot. We make<br />
sure they do. We test all of our worktops<br />
carefully so that they cope with everyday<br />
wear and tear for a very long time.<br />
Single + drainer<br />
Room for both washing<br />
up and drying dishes.<br />
(Keeps water away from<br />
the worktop, too).<br />
Reversible. No predrilled<br />
hole: you decide<br />
where to put the tap.<br />
