Simmons cast a wide range of epoxy resin sinks which can be fitted to a worktop in a number of different ways. All sinks have an integral flange to allow easy fitment whether fitted from above or below a worktop. Sinks are cast in the same epoxy resin material that is used to cast our worktops and will have the same chemical resistance.
They are available in all of our standard colours. All sinks are designed to accept a 73 mm flange waste with a 1½ inch BSP connection. Simmons can supply a suitable polypropylene sink waste in grey, white or black upon request.
The colours shown on this website are a guide only and cannot be guaranteed to match the colour of components supplied by Simmons.
