Looking for kitchen sink

18 years ago

I want a 2 bowl stainless, undermount sink with the large bowl about 12" inches deep. The salesmen are useless. I think I did the double bowl undermount in Blanco in an old house, but it's only 10" deep. I'll go with that if I can't find what I want.

I'm hoping to save some time asking here and not have to scan every manufacturer's website.

    I cannot think of any double-bowl sink that is 12" deep. I myself have never heard of one, although perhaps the experts on this Forum know of one. I have seen 12" depth on single-bowl sinks, usually a "professional series" type rectangular single-bowl sink. Also, keep in mind that when you undermount, the sink will be 12" deep plus the depth of the counter, usually an additional inch. There have been many posts on this forum of people who find 10" too deep due to the bending involved to reach the bottom, particularly if you are a little tall. I myself have a 9" deep sink (single bowl) which I find plenty deep, so I am wondering if you wouldn't mind explaining why you want 12" specifically?

    I don't think a 12" double bowl sink exists (someone correct me if I am wrong). Although as the other poster said, they do come in the very utilitarian restaurant-style single bowl rectangular sinks. Also keep in mind your plumbing, particularly if you will have a disposal. You will need room under your sink for the 12" sink depth + the 1" counter + the disposal height + the drain, which must be lower than the disposal. That's a tall order (pardon the pun), so please check your under-sink dimensions if you are want the 12" deep sink.

    Âcause I love deep sinks. With the 10" I raised the counters (cause I'm tall) and I wished for more depth.

    There are some self rimming 12" - but no undermounts. I'll probably go with the Blanco again.

    Did you really mean ten inches? Wow! You must be very tall! Are all the counters 46" high? Or just some? I don't mean to be offensive, but 46" high counters are very high...even for someone fairly tall. My DH is 6'5" and that would be too high for him. That means the upper cabinets are also very high off the floor. Do you have at least 9' ceilings to compensate for the lost upper cabinet height due to the higher base cabinets?

    If you have drawer bases and the extra 10" are being utilized (i.e., cabinet space, not just 10" additional toekick), it must be great to have either much deeper drawers or an additional drawer in each stack!

    I think it was a reference to a previous 10" deep sink, not the amount the counter was raised . . . .

    Oh!!!! That makes much more sense! Thanks Sara!

    You can custom order a sink from Julien.

    Julien is a great choice because their customizations are not super pricey. Another option is Rachiele sinks. I have included a link below.

    Good luck!

    Keep in mind that a lot of self-rimming sinks can be undermounted.
