Know before you buy
While the design is optimized for drop-in installation, it is compatible with undermount applications depending on your countertop material and installer's preference. Always consult with your fabricator before finalizing your installation method.
The kit includes a custom-fit bamboo cutting board and a roll-up stainless steel dish drying rack. Both accessories are designed to sit on the sink's integrated ledge, allowing you to prep food or dry dishes directly over the basin.
The 16-gauge rating indicates a thicker, more durable steel compared to the standard 18 or 20-gauge sinks found in many homes. This thickness helps reduce noise from water flow and provides superior resistance to dents and heavy-duty wear.
Yes, placing the drain toward the rear of the basin provides more usable space underneath the sink cabinet. It also prevents the drain from being blocked when you have large pots or pans sitting in the basin.
No, this sink does not feature an overflow hole. This is standard for most modern workstation sinks to maintain a clean, minimalist aesthetic.
To keep the finish looking new, rinse the sink after each use and wipe it dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge, always wiping in the direction of the grain.
