The MR Direct 848-Black sink has numerous exciting features; not the least of which is its TruGranite composition. A balance of 80% quartz and 20% acrylic makes for a very dense, nearly impervious substance with a very attractive, satiny-smooth appearance. It is nearly impossible to scratch or stain because of its density, and it can withstand extreme temperatures - a dropped knife will not scratch, acidic foods will not stain, and hot pots will not burn the surface. No sound-dampening pads are required because TruGranite is inherently quiet. The 848-Black is the largest TruGranite, single-bowl model and is designed for mounting under the countertop. Deep, wide and extremely tough; it makes a smart, functional statement in the busy, contemporary kitchen. With an overall measurement of 32 5/8" x 18 3/8" x 9 1/4", it will require a minimum-width cabinet of 33". It is cUPC certified. Our basket strainer offers a deep, perforated, metal basket, complete with handle. It sits inside the main body and holds considerably more waste than standard models.
