Know before you buy
The workstation design features an integrated ledge system that allows you to slide custom accessories, such as cutting boards or drying racks, directly over the sink bowl. This maximizes your counter space and keeps prep work contained within the sink area.
In stainless steel sinks, a lower gauge number indicates a thicker, more durable material. 16-gauge is considered a premium, heavy-duty thickness that is highly resistant to denting and minimizes noise from water or disposal vibration.
Because this is an undermount sink, it is designed to be installed beneath solid-surface countertops like granite, quartz, or marble. It is not compatible with laminate countertops, which typically require a drop-in or top-mount installation.
A center drain is a classic configuration that allows for symmetrical plumbing connections. While it means you cannot store as many items directly under the drain pipe in your cabinet, it provides a balanced look and ensures water flows evenly toward the center of the basin.
While 16-gauge stainless steel is durable, it can show water spots or fingerprints over time. To keep it looking new, simply wipe it down with a soft cloth and mild soap after use, and avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
