HIMACS has long been the solid surface material of choice for architects and designers looking for a refined balance of aesthetics, performance, and versatility. Now, the full range of HIMACS standard sinks and basins has been officially SCS-certified for containing a minimum of 8% pre-consumer recycled content.

This certification adds to the material’s technical and visual appeal by offering an option with enhanced sustainability, without compromising on quality or functionality. From bathroom vanities with integrated basins to kitchen islands with flush-mounted sinks, HIMACS Shapes offer the perfect combination of style and function. Each component can be seamlessly integrated to the surrounding HIMACS surface, creating a continuous, grout-free finish that is both elegant and easy to maintain.

Non-porous, hygienic, and free from silica and VOC emissions, HIMACS is well suited for a wide range of applications including kitchens, bathrooms, hospitality and healthcare environments. Its warm, silky feel offers a tactile appeal and adds to user comfort, while its seamless finish prevents the build-up of dirt, mould and bacteria.

In addition to the collection of pre-cast basins and sinks, HIMACS offers further design benefits with sheets that are thermoformable, allowing designers to explore organic curves and fluid geometries, ideal for creating distinctive, bespoke interiors.

The extensive colour palette includes a wide range of options with recycled content, offering even more flexibility for those seeking to combine creative freedom with material responsibility.

Furthermore, the durability, repairability and re-usability of the material can optimise the longevity of an installation. With SCS certification now covering all HIMACS sinks and basins, specifiers can make informed choices backed by third-party verification, supporting a more conscious design without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.
