Community,

Can anyone recommend a 27” x 18-22”, 12””-ish deep stainless steel utility sink, prefer 16 gauge but will accept 18 gauge, preferably with sound dampening insulation, WITHOUT zero radius corners that doesn’t cost a small fortune?

The full story:

After many years of doing laundry in a corner of a room and lugging it upstairs to fold, hanging wet stuff in our shower to dry, etc., we are remodeling a room to add a more formal laundry space. I am ridiculously excited about this. We ordered cabinets, the floor is in, paint is going on the wall, and I bought the washer/dryer several months ago when our 25 year old washer finally died. We still need to select the sink along with a faucet, counters, cabinet hardware, and other functional/decorative details.

We ordered a 33” wide x 27” deep base cabinet for the utility sink. I’ve been scouring but can’t find one that provides everything I want. I’m looking for 27” x 18-22” x 12”-ish deep (high). I’m pretty set on stainless steel (16 gauge with noise reduction insulation) for durability and low-fussness. I’d really prefer undermount (hate cleaning around the edges of a drop-in and don’t’ like the look). I have found sinks that fit the bill but they all have very tight corners. I love the clean, modern look but loath the thought of trying to clean a sink like this. This will be a laundry sink, but mostly a utility sink where we will do messy things occassionally like bathe our dog, re-pot plants, clean painting tools, etc. So I really don’t want those tight corners.

I don’t have a specific budget cap but don’t want to spend a small fortune on a sink either; too many other renovations to pay for. I’d love to stay in the low hundreds; would go up to $500 for the right sink, but begrudgingly.
