Topzero Rimless Sinks

TopZero is a global brand by Ukinox USA that offers the only true seamless, rimless undermount stainless steel sinks for kitchen and bathrooms. Undermount stainless steel sinks are preferred to drop-in sinks due to their practical advantage, but even undermount sinks have a joint between the countertop and the underside. That joint is sealed to the countertop with silicone, creating a bead which is tough to keep clean. With all the moisture around the sink area, this bead can promote bacteria growth and the eventual degradation of the actual silicone. In response, the TopZero system utilizes a rimless stainless-steel edge that reaches the surface level for a flawless, vanishing-edge appearance against almost any solid surface material, including granite, quartz and engineered stone.
