FM Marine

AISI 316

AISI 316

Also known as “marine-grade steel”, AISI 316 stainless steel is enriched with chromium and nickel, elements that make it highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and aggressive agents such as acids and chlorine.

Its exceptional resistance to corrosion is ensured by the formation of a passive layer—a microscopically thin surface film composed of just a few atoms, which spontaneously regenerates when in contact with the oxygen in air or water.

Foster uses AISI 316 in its FM Marine sinks, offering a durable and reliable solution that is also ideal for environments with high humidity or salt-laden air.

FM Marine

FM Marine is Foster’s solution for those seeking sinks made of AISI 316 stainless steel, known for its exceptional durability.

As an evolution of the FM series, FM Marine sinks stand out for their use of ultra-resistant, high-quality steel, offering superior protection against rust, corrosion, acids, and chlorine. An ideal choice for homes located in coastal areas or environments with high salinity.

Available in multiple configurations — one or two bowls with drainer, or a single-bowl version — FM Marine sinks feature a depth of 19 cm, designed to make everyday use even more practical.

Each model can also be completed with a range of versatile accessories, designed to enhance both functionality and ease of use. Foster offers:

 

  • Glass cutting board

  • Iroko wood cutting board

  • HDPE cutting board

  • Colander

  • Stainless steel basket

  • Stainless steel dish rack


 

Sink and mixer tap

The sinks come pre-drilled with a hole for mixer tap installation. Upon request, a second hole can be added—ideal for accessories such as an automatic drain or a soap dispenser.

To complement this sink line, Foster recommends a selection of AISI 316 stainless steel mixers, such as the Gamma 3 Vie: a satin-finished AISI 316 mixer tap with dual control and swivel spout.

Unlike other models in the range, Gamma 3 Vie allows for the dispensing of hot/cold water as well as filtered drinking water, thanks to a third independent channel. This makes it fully compatible with any water filtration or treatment system.

The finish

Foster’s brushed finish, achieved using special natural fiber brushes, makes the surface of sinks and cooktops less porous, making cleaning easier and helping maintain a flawless appearance over time.
To ensure lasting hygiene and shine, regular cleaning with warm water and soap (or warm water and vinegar) is sufficient, followed by a thorough rinse and careful drying with a soft cloth.
