Know before you buy
The 60/40 split provides two distinct basin sizes, giving you a larger area for washing bulky pots and pans while keeping a smaller, separate basin available for rinsing or drying. This configuration offers more versatility than a standard equal-split double sink.
Yes, the lowered divider is specifically designed to contain water within the basins while still allowing you to easily move items between the two sides. It effectively reduces the risk of water spilling over the center onto your countertop during heavy use.
This sink requires a minimum base cabinet width of 36 inches. Because it is a dual-mount model, ensure your countertop cutout is compatible with these dimensions before installation.
The Vault is crafted from 18-gauge stainless steel that is specifically treated to be stain-resistant. While stainless steel can develop light surface scratches over time with normal use, the included stainless steel sink grid helps protect the basin floor from direct contact with heavy cookware.
Yes, this model features four pre-drilled faucet holes. This allows for a variety of faucet and accessory configurations, such as a soap dispenser or side sprayer.
The sloped bottom is engineered to direct water and food debris toward the drain more efficiently than a flat-bottomed sink. This design minimizes standing water and makes daily cleanup significantly faster.
