Know before you buy
The self-trimming design means the apron front overlaps the cabinet face, which hides the cut edges of the countertop. This simplifies the installation process because you don't need to achieve a perfect, seamless cut on your cabinetry to get a professional look.
Kohler’s cast iron is engineered to be highly resistant to chips, cracks, and scratches. While it is incredibly durable, we recommend using a sink grid to protect the glossy finish from heavy pots and pans over time.
This sink measures 32.69 inches wide and 21.56 inches deep. Because it is a heavy-duty cast iron unit weighing over 115 pounds, you must ensure your base cabinet is structurally reinforced to support the weight of the sink and a full basin of water.
Since this is an undermount sink, the faucet must be mounted directly into the countertop behind the sink. Ensure your chosen faucet has a long enough reach to comfortably access the center of the deep, 9.63-inch basin.
The gloss finish is non-porous and generally easy to wipe down with a soft cloth and mild soap. To maintain its luster, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners that could dull the surface over time.
