Smooth landing

Modern kitchens are increasingly designed on simple, clean lines a reflection of the move towards uncluttered interiors that provide an antidote to busy lifestyles. Smooth countertops that are flush with kitchen sinks exemplify this trend.

It's a look made possible by Karran® undermount sinks, which provide a seamless transition between the two surfaces no matter what type of countertop you specify. Karran undermount sinks can be installed under granite, marble, engineered stone, solid surface materials and laminates.

But it's not just the streamlined aesthetics that appeal. Karran undermount sinks also offer hygiene benefits, says marketing director Mark Webster.

"Gaps and unsightly edges where the countertop and sink rim meet can be a trap for debris and dirt that will encourage bacterial growth," he says. "Installing an undermount sink eliminates areas where grime can build up."

Karran sinks are also a durable option. Manufactured from a high-density acrylic resin with a strong fiberglass backing, the sinks are completely non-porous and guaranteed never to stain.

"There are no fillers or mineral additives, so a Karran sink will never absorb anything into its surface," says Webster. "This ensures it is easy to clean, because dirt never soaks in."

Karran sinks are resistant to impact, temperature extremes and scratches. The satin finish of the sink helps to blend in and disguise the day-to-day marks that may appear through use.

Karran offers a wide variety of designs to choose from, in both self-rimming and undermount models. All sinks are available in the two most popular industry colors - white or bisque and are backed by a 50-year warranty.
