Suggestions for Undermount SS kitchen sink with low divide?

5 years ago

Good evening, I have been lurking on these boards and have gained a great deal of knowledge--so I wanted to start off with a thank you! I am at a decision point for a kitchen sink in our do-it-ourselves (except countertops) kitchen renovation. I have read that single bowl sinks are very popular, but I have been a "two bowl girl" all my life with a house full of teens and usually a sink full of dishes--lol! So, I think I will stick with a two bowl sink with a low divide.

I have a 36 in base, looking for a stainless steel, undermount low divide. I am partial to the "rectangle look", but a slight radius corner (I understand easier to clean) would be fine.

I am hoping to gain some sage advice on a few to look further into and one to pull the trigger on very soon-- Kohler Strive K5284, Vault K3838 and Poise (a bit out of my price range); Kraus Core KWU112-33--although those seem to be out of stock everywhere; and Elkay Crosstown EFRUAQ31169TWC (the 16 gauge one).

Am I missing any? Any favorites out there?

Thank you in advance for your advice and help!

It's foolish to not put a 36" sink in a 36" cabinet. Apparently you're not changing cabinets. The Kohler K3945 with the short apron will retrofit into existing cabinets beautifully.

You may ignore the sink manufacturer's installation instructions if you strap, not clip, your undermount sink in place. A 36" sink fits in a 36" cabinet, a 33" in a 33", etc. Clips are junk and leak; don't use them please.

I was hoping you would comment Joseph! I have read your wise advise to others and already have in my notes to strap this puppy in place :). We have ripped out all of the builder's grade dark oak with vinyl side cabinets I have tolerated for 24 1/2 years and we are putting in natural stained cherry shaker style cabinets. The cabinets are made by Joliet (now Arbor Mills) that were salvaged from a lake tear down. (I know, I missed the white cabinet memo, but somebody has to bring wood back and these are just beautiful). We are doing this ourselves, except for the counters. Those I am splurging on Danby marble with a mitered edge. I was shying away from an apron front sink, and have found the Kraus Standart Pro KHU103. I agree, I would install a 36 in undermount with a low divide--just have to find one :)
