Solid-surface systems
Sloan Valve Company
The new Drain Deck and Bio-Deck style SloanStone solid-surface lavatory systems match water-efficient and durable electronic faucets with vandal-resistant sinks. New Bio-Deck lavatory styles are made from bio-material: Ground-up corn cobs replace the petroleum-based material that typically is used in solid-surface systems. Bio-Line lavatories come with either oval-shaped, drop-in stainless-steel bowls or undermount porcelain bowls.
