Introducing the industry’s
first universally designed
oval solid surface lavatory
bowl
. Over the course of time,
it becomes necessary to update
tooling and models to meet the
needs of designers, fabricators
and users. For this reason,
Gemstone is taking the oppor-
tunity to improve its most popu-
lar sink model and bring it up-to
-date with Universal Design in
mind. While the former model will continue to offer lasting good
looks and performance, the subtle changes to this updated model
will simplify ADA location and fabrication issues of the past. The 5”
ID (only 5/16” difference from the former model, & 1/2”different from
other popular models) will allow the vanity bowl to be installed in
smaller vanity tops and still easily conform to ADA standards and
even allow for easy bottom-of-the-bowl cover-up! Say goodbye to
headaches of the past and hello to installation ease. In addition,
consistency with draft angles (10°) will allow for faster fabrication
and sanding. The sink is a little lighter for easier shipping and han-
dling, yet the overall look will remain almost identical from a users
standpoint to the existing
model. This sink was truly
designed with architects,
designers, fabricators and
users in mind!
