Kitchen & Bath
Integrated Sink
An integrated sink is fabricated from the same material as the countertop in a seamless, one-piece construction, eliminating the joint between sink and counter. This sophisticated design detail creates a flowing, sculptural appearance while solving the practical problem of grime buildup around traditional sink rims. Integrated sinks represent the pinnacle of contemporary kitchen and bath design.
Most commonly executed in solid surface materials (like Corian), quartz, or concrete, integrated sinks require skilled fabrication but deliver unparalleled visual continuity. The lack of seams means no caulk lines to clean or replace, no lip to catch crumbs, and a streamlined aesthetic that reads as one continuous surface. This construction method works particularly well in minimalist and modern designs where clean lines and material honesty are paramount.

Placement & Usage Tips
Integrated sinks work best in kitchen islands and bathroom vanities where the seamless look can be fully appreciated. Plan drain placement carefully during fabrication—it cannot be easily changed. Consider integrated drain boards or sloped surfaces for enhanced functionality. Specify rounded rather than sharp interior corners for easier cleaning.
💡 Pro Tip
Integrated sinks in solid surface materials can be refinished if scratched or stained—a major advantage over traditional sinks. Light scratches sand out easily, and the entire sink-countertop unit can be professionally buffed to restore the original finish, effectively giving you a new sink without replacement.
