What is Rok Metallic - Kitchen sink

[rizsher]

Hi,

Looking at replacing my very old kitchen sink, reason being it seems very very scrathched up to my wife, looks just fine to me.

Have been looking around, B&Q barely stock any sinks, most are available to order, same with Homebase, so I had to look on the net.x


Have come across this thing called Rok Metallic, e.g http://www.simplykitchensinks.co.uk/index.asp?SKSID=840&ItemID=2440

These look quite nice actually - but I've not been able to figure out what the heck rok metal is. Is it granite?.. composite, ceramic??... Google has come up with surprisingly little, except lots of vendors.

Can anyone please enlighten me - how are sinks make of Rok Metal, scratching/discolouration tendency...

any feedback appreciated.

Thanks.
Riz

Its a composite, stone dust in resin, I suspect the "metalic" has a few flecs in it like you get with some granites.

You may find out a bit more if you look at the manufacturers sit, its made by Astracast
