Pintura Porcelain Enameled Sinks offer timeless appeal similar to classic cast iron sinks, with an extremely resilient, lightweight steel core that eliminates the need for specialized installation. Made from extra-tough and dent-resistant enameled steel, Pintura sinks are coated with high-grade porcelain enamel and double-fired at high temperatures of 1500 DegreeF to create a virtually indestructible high-gloss finish that is resistant to chips, stains, and scratches, and will never rust or corrode. The perfectly smooth non-porous surface prevents the growth of bacteria for a healthier and more hygienic kitchen. While they echo the premium look of cast iron sinks, Pintura sinks are 65 Percent lighter, and do not require specialized installation. Designed for a fresh modern look, the tight-radius corners are easy to keep clean with minimal maintenance.
