Breaking the monotony of stainless-steel sinks, this acrylic farmhouse sink from Vigo gives you a different option to ponder upon. The sink is made out of a unique composite material that’s proven to be a superior alternative to cast iron and fireclay. The feel of the material is almost as that of fireclay with the only difference of better resilience towards cracks and chipping.

The material of the sink is known as matte stone which is essentially PMMA composite. Qualities of this composite material include that it has lesser degree of superficial weathering and better immunity to cracks and impact chips.

Coming to the functionality of the sink, it is 10” deep giving the bowl adequate space for all kinds of trays, pots and pans. Adding to the convenience, the edges of the sink aren’t sharp and have a smooth radius of 10 mm that make tricky corners easily accessible for efficient cleaning. The sink comes with a drain strainer and a complementary cutting board as additional accessories.

This 33” Vigo farmhouse sink comes with an impressive 9” depth with 31” and 18” as lateral dimensions. The sink boasts a commercial grade 304 stainless steel construction which is further secured with a premium satin finish to help avoid scratches on the sink surface.

However, the metallic construction does add up to a con. Stainless steel sinks are known to be noisier than their organic counterparts including fireclay and granite composite. To counter this, the sink comes with a thick sound absorbing padding underneath.

The VGR3219CK1 is built from a commercial grade 16-gauge thick stainless steel that imparts it the desired resistance to impact, dents and fissures. Likewise, the surface of the sink is protected against scratches with a commercial grade satin coating.

Vigo compensates for this with a complementary bottom grid that rests flat on the bottom.

Further, the sink surface is undercoated with thick sound reducing pads to minimize noise from clanging of dishes and splashing of water. In addition to a resourceful design and charismatic appearance, the sink is covered with a limited lifetime warranty.
