Integrated Sink Vanity Tops for Two Homes — One in Canada, One in Australia

Two small residential orders with no MOQ, bookmatched veins and seamless mitered joints.

Project Overview

Two integrated sink vanity orders, one fabrication standard

Two separate residential orders, one page — because together they tell a single story about how we work.

  • Order ASH-46 (Canada): two sets of integrated sink vanity tops in a white Carrara-look engineered quartz (code 1181), for a contractor fitting out an apartment. Fabricated July 2025.
  • Order FXR-1 (Australia): one 1800 mm integrated sink vanity top in glass stone, calacatta-gold, code SF7101, for a homeowner building a new house. Fabricated October 2025.

The product carries different names in different markets, and we fabricate to all of them. In Canada and North America buyers search integrated sink, integrated vanity sink, or a vanity top with integrated sink; fabricators call the build mitered and monolithic, and the bowl an integral bowl. In Australia the same unit is an integrated stone basin, integrated basin, or a one-piece vanity top, often paired with the local term benchtop. In both cases the basin and countertop are cut from one material, joined at 45-degree mitered corners and polished to read as a single continuous piece — unlike an undermount sink (a separate bowl beneath a cut-out) or a vessel basin (a bowl sitting on the counter). This integrated-basin build applies to the quartz and silica-free glass stone orders below; the natural grey marble option added later on this page uses separate undermount basins.

Independent SGS and laboratory test reports for the Australian material are available below.

What made this project complex

Bookmatching and seamless joints

An integrated basin is built from several slab pieces. Making the veins continue across the deck, around the corners and into the bowl, then polishing the mitered joints until they vanish, is the core fabrication skill.

Lesson from Canada, applied in Australia

On the first quartz units, water pooled near the drain because the floor slope was too gentle. We revised the fall toward the waste and carried the corrected detail into the Australian vanity before it was ever cut.

Zero silica for the Australian market

SF7101 is silica free quartz — the same material is also referred to as glass stone or manufactured zero silica stone — and is backed by independent reports showing crystalline silica / quartz not detected or below the limit of detection (0.1%–1%). Reports are attached.

Communication

Direct updates, careful decisions

The job threads cover the Canada drain feedback and the Australia material confirmation and documentation. Our side and the job codes remain.

Drain Feedback (ASH-46)
There is standing water around the drain — can we steepen the fall and revise the detail on future runs?

We confirmed the cause, proposed a floor-slope revision, and carried the corrected detail into the next job.

Material Confirmation (FXR-1)
Confirm the silica-free material spec and send the test documentation with the order.

We confirmed SF7101 and supplied the independent test reports with the units.

Product Specifications

Engineered quartz and silica free quartz, fabricated to approved shop drawings

Both orders were quoted and cut from approved shop drawings — July 2025 for the quartz, October 2025 for the glass stone.

Why Apexstone

Why Apexstone for two small integrated sink orders

Neither order filled a container, but both stretched the fabrication line and both shipped fully documented.

On this project

No MOQ, even on labour-intensive fabrication

Two quartz units for Canada and one manufactured zero silica stone vanity for Australia — mitered, bookmatched work billed by the unit, not the container. A customer's smallest order is part of serving their largest.

One material family, two markets, one fabrication standard

Both orders use the same 45-degree miter-and-polish method, so each reads as a single slab even though it is built from several pieces. Integrated sink terminology differs by market; the fabrication does not.

A lesson from July, engineered out by October

Standing water at the first drain led to a revised floor slope and drain detail, applied to the Australian vanity from its first drawing.

Compliance documentation delivered with the product

For the Australian job, independent SGS and laboratory reports came with the order.

What we bring as a manufacturer
Custom integrated sink vanity tops

Mitered, monolithic basin fabrication as a core capability

Integrated sink units are built from several pieces, joined at 45-degree mitered corners and polished until the surface and bowl read as one continuous piece. Approved shop drawings, CNC cutting, hand mitering and polishing, dry-fit, then export crating — one controlled line from slab to shipped unit.

Engineered quartz and manufactured zero silica stone

Conventional and silica free materials, one standard

We supply and fabricate both engineered quartz and manufactured zero silica stone, drawing on long-term slab supply in Foshan and Shuitou, to one fabrication standard. Independent test documentation rides with these orders.

Natural Stone Option

Natural Grey Marble: Mitered Apron, Built-Up Rounded Corner

The same apron-front standard is also available in natural grey marble, fabricated in our own factory. On this double vanity top, the vertical apron is joined to the horizontal top surface with a 45-degree mitered edge so the front reads as one continuous piece of stone rather than a layered top and trim.

The detail that sets it apart is the rounded corner. To carry the thick apron around a curve, our craftsmen laminate a series of small flat pieces together, one by one, to build up the curved form, then shape the curve by hand and finish it with wet grinding and polishing until the surface, edge and corner carry the same flat gloss. The photographs below show that final wet-polishing stage on a natural grey marble double vanity, with the mitered apron flowing around the rounded end.

Like our quartz and silica-free glass stone versions, the natural marble top is cut for separate undermount basins (the basin itself is not part of the slab), with faucet and accessory holes drilled to the shop drawing. Natural marble adds open, book-matched character and is suited to residential and hospitality vanity projects that call for a genuine stone apron-front look.

Material options for this mitered-apron vanity: engineered quartz, silica-free glass stone, and natural marble — all built to the same 45-degree miter and hand-finished curved-apron standard.
