If you want to create a home that features modern and environmentally friendly design elements, you might consider going with bamboo for your sinks. This innovative sink material is unique and attractive, and is sure to make a statement in your home. MR Direct offers bamboo for both the kitchen and bathroom. Choose between a variety of shapes to match your individual style.
Bamboo is a natural plant that features a warm toned wood grain look. It is stronger and more durable than most hardwoods including Red Oak and Maple, and has greater tensile and compression strength than steel. Each sink is made by laminating bamboo strips in layers to create a leak-proof seal. Once dry, they are cut to shape and hand-sanded to ensure each one has an ultra-smooth finish. Unlike more traditional sink materials, it will not chip. Bamboo is also naturally resistant to moisture, so it is an excellent material choice for the kitchen and bathroom.
Bamboo is a great choice for the environmentally conscious consumer due to how sustainably it is grown. Bamboo is actually a grass, and grows incredibly fast, which allows it to be harvested much more quickly than most types of wood. The stalks are cut and the same plant will simply regrow itself. Bamboo plants do not require fertilizers and use much less water than wood.
Proper care and regular cleaning will ensure the lasting beauty of your bamboo sink. Avoid using harsh chemicals on natural bamboo. The best technique is to mix a mild soap with water, and use a soft sponge to scrub the mixture around your entire sink in a circular motions. Rinse immediately with pure water and dry.
Each of the apron style kitchen sinks includes a custom-fit grid that lays over the center-set drain opening, and will provide a sanitary surface for food preparation within the sink. A corresponding Bamboo Waterfall Faucet is available with the MR Direct bathroom vessel sinks, which include a matching disc and your choice of chrome, brushed nickel or oil rubbed bronze finish. Also included is a matching pop-up drain. All of our bamboo sink models are covered by our limited lifetime warranty.
