An Acrylic Double Bowl Built for Seamless Undermount Installation
The Formica 1729 is an acrylic undermount double bowl kitchen sink designed for seamless integration in laminate and solid surface countertops. Its Arctic White finish and clean two-basin layout suit both working kitchens and fabrication projects where a finished, rim-free look is the goal.
Key Features
• Acrylic construction delivers a smooth, non-porous surface that cleans easily and resists everyday staining.
• Undermount double bowl configuration provides two separate basins for wash-and-rinse or prep-and-wash workflows without a visible rim breaking the counter surface.
• Arctic White finish coordinates cleanly with white and neutral solid surface and laminate countertop colors.
• Seamless installation capability lets fabricators bond and trim the sink flush with laminate and solid surface countertops for an integrated look with no exposed seam.
• Overall dimensions of 30-7/8 by 18-9/16 by 9-13/16 inches suit standard sink base cabinets in kitchen renovations and new builds alike.
Where the 1729 Fits the Job
This sink earns its place wherever a fabricator or installer needs a double bowl that disappears into the counter rather than sitting on top of it. The seamless method bonds the acrylic rim flush with the laminate or solid surface deck, eliminating the seam line that collects debris on a conventional drop-in. For kitchens built around a clean, continuous countertop surface, that detail matters. The two-basin layout handles the everyday split between wash and rinse, or prep and cleanup, without the trade-off of a single oversized bowl. Cabinet shops building kitchen packages, contractors fitting out a full renovation, and homeowners upgrading from a top mount to a more refined undermount finish will all find this a practical choice for a standard sink base cabinet.
Acrylic Construction and Arctic White Finish
Acrylic sinks occupy a practical middle ground: lighter than stone composite, quieter underfoot than thin stainless, and workable with the same shop tools used for solid surface fabrication. The material is non-porous, so spills and food residue sit on the surface rather than penetrating it, and routine cleaning with a non-abrasive household cleaner keeps the finish looking consistent. The Arctic White color is a true neutral that pairs naturally with Formica solid surface sheets and most white laminate lines, making finish coordination straightforward when the counter and sink come from the same fabrication order. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners that can dull the surface over time.
The Right Sink for Laminate and Solid Surface Fabrication
The 1729 is a strong fit for fabricators and installers already working with laminate or solid surface countertops. The acrylic seamless installation method uses the same postform approach documented for Karran's A Series, trimming the rim flush with a bevel bit so the counter flows directly into the bowl. For solid surface fabricators, the material compatibility means the adhesive seam can be color-matched and sanded back to a consistent surface. Design-build contractors and remodelers who need a double bowl sink that integrates cleanly without a visible rim or clip hardware showing from above will find this model direct to their workflow. It is equally at home in a kitchen renovation and in a shop sample or display installation where the seamless joint needs to be demonstrable.
Is the 1729 compatible with stone or quartz countertops?
The seamless installation method is documented for laminate and solid surface countertops. For quartz, granite, or other stone countertops, a conventional undermount method using silicone and mechanical fasteners is the appropriate path — confirm the installation method with your fabricator before cutting.
Does the sink include mounting clips or a drain assembly?
Mounting hardware and drain components are not included with the sink. A matching drain assembly should be sourced separately to suit the bowl's drain opening before installation.
Where does the faucet mount on this sink?
The 1729 is an undermount model with no integrated faucet deck. The faucet, soap dispenser, and any other deck accessories mount through the countertop behind the bowl.
Can this sink be installed as a standard undermount without the seamless method?
Yes. Where the seamless rim finish is not required, the sink can be installed as a conventional undermount using silicone and the appropriate mechanical fasteners for the countertop material.
A Double Bowl That Works as Hard as the Counter Around It
The Formica 1729 delivers a clean, functional two-basin kitchen sink sized for standard cabinetry and built for the seamless laminate and solid surface installations where a rim-free finish is part of the design brief.
