The Elkay Lustertone Classic Stainless Steel Undermount Sink merges robust functionality with timeless elegance, making it an ideal choice for your kitchen or prep area. Crafted from high-quality 18-gauge Type 304 stainless steel, this sink boasts exceptional durability and a scratch-resistant finish that ensures it maintains its radiant beauty over time. The innovative Perfect Drain design eliminates the gap around the drain, promoting a cleaner and more hygienic environment by allowing food particles and debris to wash away easily. With its spacious single bowl format (13.5 x 16), this sink provides an uninterrupted area for washing, soaking, and stacking dishes, enhancing your kitchen workflow. The rear-center drain placement maximizes usable space both in the sink basin and under the counter, while the straight sidewalls and flat bottom design ensure easy cleaning and extra convenience. For added comfort, sound-deadening pads are integrated into the sink's construction, minimizing noise and vibration from daily tasks. This sink is designed for undermount installation, creating a sleek and seamless look between your countertop and sink. With a minimum cabinet size requirement of just 21 inches, it fits well in various kitchen configurations. To enhance your setup, each unit includes the LKPD1 Perfect Drain and strainer, although please note that undermount brackets are sold separately. Ideal not only for kitchens but also for laundry rooms, bars, and commercial settings, the Elkay Lustertone Classic is built to withstand heavy-duty use while maintaining its luxurious luster throughout its lifespan.
