FAQs

What is the main advantage of the dual bowl design?

The dual bowl design allows for multitasking, such as washing dishes in one bowl while rinsing or preparing food in the other, significantly improving kitchen workflow.

Can I install a garbage disposal with this sink?

Compatibility with garbage disposals should be confirmed with your installer. The sink comes with a specific Orbit waste system, and an adapter may be required.

Does this sink come with a tap?

No, this sink does not have pre-drilled tap holes and does not include a tap. You will need to purchase a suitable tap separately and plan for its mounting.

How durable is the granite composite material?

The granite and acrylic composite is very durable, offering good resistance to heat, scratches, and stains. However, like most sink materials, it can be damaged by very heavy impacts or harsh abrasive cleaning.

What maintenance does the grey metallic matt finish require?

The matt finish is designed for easy maintenance. Daily cleaning with a soft cloth and mild detergent is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.

What are the overall dimensions of the sink?

The overall dimensions are Width 758mm x Depth 460mm x Height 220mm.

What is the warranty period for this sink?

The Abode Matrix Sq GR15 sink comes with a 10 Years Guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Sink appears to have reduced drainage.

Check the Orbit waste and any connected plumbing for blockages. Ensure the overflow (if applicable) is clear. Clean the waste trap if necessary.

Water spots or marks are visible on the surface.

Dry the sink thoroughly with a soft, absorbent cloth after each use. For persistent marks, use a recommended non-abrasive cleaner for composite sinks.

Minor scratches appear on the surface.

For very light surface scratches on the matt finish, gently buff with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaning paste. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can worsen the appearance.

The sink is not sitting flush with the countertop.

This is likely an installation issue. Contact your installer to check the integrity of the undermount seal and ensure it is properly secured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability due to granite composite material.
  • Dual bowls significantly improve workflow in the kitchen.
  • Sleek undermount design enhances countertop aesthetics and ease of cleaning.
  • Modern grey metallic matt finish is stylish and practical.
  • Comes with useful accessories and a luxury waste system.

Cons

  • Requires a minimum cabinet width of 800mm.
  • Undermount installation requires professional fitting and specific countertop materials.
  • Zero tap holes means a separate tap or filtered water system is necessary.
  • Composite material might be susceptible to chipping if heavy objects are dropped from a significant height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  • Installation Type: This sink is designed for undermount installation. This means it is fitted beneath the countertop, requiring precise cutting of the work surface. Professional installation is highly recommended.
  • Cabinet Requirements: A minimum cabinet width of 800mm is required to accommodate the sink's overall dimensions (W 758mm).
  • Cut-Out Dimensions: The countertop cut-out should measure W 687mm x D 389mm. Ensure this is cut accurately by your installer.
  • Tap Holes: This model has zero tap holes. You will need to source a tap that can be mounted on your countertop or wall, or choose a system that doesn't require a traditional tap.

Compatibility:

  • Countertops: Best suited for solid surface countertops such as granite, quartz, solid wood (with appropriate sealing), or solid laminate, which can support the weight and allow for the seamless undermount finish.
  • Waste Disposal Units: While not explicitly stated, compatibility with standard waste disposal units should be confirmed with your installer, considering the basin depth and Orbit waste fitting.

Care:

  • Daily Cleaning: Wipe the sink with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
  • Stubborn Stains: For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for composite sinks. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive scouring pads, which can damage the matt finish.
  • Heat Protection: While durable, avoid placing extremely hot pans directly onto the sink surface. Use trivets or heat pads.
  • Scratch Prevention: Use a sink protector or avoid dragging heavy, rough-bottomed cookware across the surface to maintain the pristine finish.
