PLASTIC
VS. TERRAZZO
What
is a "PLASTIC" sink?
Basically, it is a high-pressure thermoplastic resin with rock
dust filler. Plastic can be broken, chipped, cracked, and is
flammable. In a commercial building where the product must be
rugged enough to take a lot of hard use and give years of service,
plastic does not measure up. For instance, the janitor's mop basin
is one area that sees much use and abuse.
- Also:
There is no way to flange a plastic basin into wall construction.
It is dependent solely on a waste connection to hold it stable.
A 50-pound sink is easy to dislodge at the waste connection with
heavy scrubbing equipment.
-
A plastic basin cannot be furnished with integral rim guards.
- The
sink drain is attached like a sink strainer with a neoprene washer
which will leak with age.
- The
cost of manufacturing equipment limits the plastic manufacturer
to a few high volume sizes.
WHAT
IS TERRAZZO?
Terrazzo is a mixture
of Portland cement and marble chips. Stern-Williams uses only the
finest materials. We use only white Portland cement so that we have
absolute color control. Our casting produces a compressive strength
of 3000 PSI.
- Also:
With terrazzo, it is possible to have flanging for solid
and leakproof installation.
- With
terrazzo Stainless steel caps can be permanently cast to protect
edges.
- Our
drain is cast integral; will not leak.
-
We have custom design capability.
-
Terrazzo is rugged, stain resistant, easily maintained, and FIREPROOF!!!!
