Stainless Undermount Sink Recs - talk to me!

Hello - Well, in addition to about a million other things, I have sink selection on my 'to do' list.

Looking for an undermount stainless. Want to go as deep as I can. I had one big bowl w/ a small side bowl in my last kitchen and that worked just fine. Our sink base is going to be 36". Our sink will be positioned in the middle of a 10' island.

Just wondering what factors I should consider as I make a decision on this!

Thank you in advance for all of your help. I appreciate it so much.

Best regards,

JLB47

    I have a Ticor undermount sink in a 36" sink base. Here's a pic of it installed (I think this pic is the one I've posted the most on this Forum....and sorry if you're all tired of it!)

    Dimensions:
    * Overall: 35-1/8" x 20-7/8" x 9"
    * Large Bowl: 21-3/8" x 18-3/4" x 9"
    * Small Bowl: 10-1/2" x 15-7/8" x 7"

    I have the S405D with the small bowl on the right; the S405DR has the small bowl on the left.

    With an undermount sink, your sink's total depth = bowl depth + granite thickness. In my case, I have 3cm granite so my larger bowl is actually a little over 10" deep.


    Technical Specs from GalaxyToolSupply.com:

    * Brand: Ticor
    * Model: S405D
    * Installation Type: Undermount
    * Exterior Dimensions: 35-1/4" x 21" x 9"
    * Interior Dimensions: 21-1/4" x 19" x 9" (L), 10-1/2" x 16" x 7" (R)
    * Bowl Ratio: 70/30
    * Drain Opening: 3-1/2" Standard
    * Material: High Quality 18/10 Chromium/Nickel Stainless Steel
    * Sink Gauge: 16 Gauge
    * Finish: Brushed Bowl/Polished Rim

    Included With Sink As Free Items:
    * Template for Sink Cut Out
    * Mounting and Installation Brackets
    * 2 Rinse Sink Grids (Polished 18/10 Stainless Steel Wire Bottom Grid with Opening for Sink Strainer)
    * 1 Pullout Stainless Steel Basket Strainer
    * 1 Regular Strainer


    Note: the specs have changed slightly since I purchased mine in January 2008, but not by much. I don't know if the sink has changed or if the specs have been corrected.

    Jib47,

    When it comes to sinks, I think I am the most
    boring woman in America. I choose the Oliveri.
    http://www.oliverisinks.com/us/simple.cfm

    Why?
    I wanted a simple one bowl sink super deep that
    could hold a turkey roaster pan.
    Undermount. 30L, 18W and 10 deep. With the thick
    granite counter it is an added inch deeper.
    Brushed stainless steel, Some insulation to be
    quiet.

    Olivieri because they can make any configuration
    you want and large industrial kitchens use this brand.
    They are not out to make mega bucks off of you like
    Blanco or Franke. I like that this is a simple
    world wide company that makes a great product for
    a fair price. You won't find these sinks at the
    super stores. They are not made in China or Indonesia.
    A good product at a fair prices with creative
    options.

    I did not want a divider, or second bowl. I find
    I like the space of one giant bowl deep to hide
    dirty dishes or keep them off the counters.
    My DH at first did not like this idea. He wanted
    one of these two sinks. He was thinking about looks
    more than function.

    {{!gwi}}

    Toyed with the idea of a farmhouse. DH loves this.
    But I like my little cubbies sponge tip drawers.
    And I have a small kitchen that could not have a FarmH
    sink in a lovely way like so many on GW.


    However since you have had the second bowl and liked
    it you might find a smaller 2nd or 3rd bowl helpful.

    I don't have a photo of my sink but here is
    one from their web site. I know, I know boring
    but I find it suits me.
