These sinktops feature a worktop, sink and sloping drainer moulded as a single seamless section.
Sinktops from this range incorporate a ribbed drainer area which slopes to an integrally moulded sink bowl. The units are cast oversize and then cut to the required size and configuration, from a minimum of 900 x 600 mm up to a maximum of 1500 x 900 mm and at any size in between. They are then fitted with edging from Simmons’ range as required.
Sinktops can be fitted directly onto steel supports or cabinets. There is no need to provide any additional support for these units.
When ordering please clearly state overall size of unit, left or right hand bowl and preferred position of sink within the unit. Any tap holes that are required should also be specified.
Two of these units can be combined to make up a double bowl double drainer sinktop. These would have a central joint machined ready to be jointed on site and would have edging all around the perimeter of the assembly. All jointing materials would be supplied as part of the package.
Please note that these drawings and photos are of these sinktops manufactured at a standard width of 750 mm. Single drainers can be made at any width from 600 mm up to 850 mm at no additional cost.
The colours shown on this website are a guide only and cannot be guaranteed to match the colour of components supplied by Simmons.

As with all worktops a reasonable standard of laboratory housekeeping will help to keep the worktops in good condition. All spillages should be cleaned up as soon as possible. Staining agents and aggressive chemicals should not be allowed to sit in contact with the tops for a prolonged period of time.
Areas of chemical attack or staining can be removed with a polishing compound or very fine abrasive paper, but it should be stressed that this will alter the finish of the surface. Performance will not be affected.
The use of a wax furniture polish will help to retain the gloss finish.
Components should not be exposed to dry-ice or liquid nitrogen and heat insulation pads should be placed between a top and a steambath or hotplate to prevent thermal stress.
