Perfect For
Modern residential kitchen remodels seeking a sleek undermount aesthetic
Home cooks who frequently use large stockpots and baking sheets
304 Series Stainless Steel Provides exceptional resistance to everyday wear, rust, and corrosion in busy kitchen environments.
18/10 Chrome-Nickel Content Enhances the metal strength and contributes to a brilliant, lasting luster that resists tarnishing.
Stylish Drain Grooves Promotes efficient water flow toward the drain to prevent pooling at the bottom of the basin.
Satin Polished Finish Offers a refined, contemporary look that complements modern kitchen appliances and hardware.
10-Inch Bowl Depth Accommodates oversized cookware and deep stockpots while helping to contain splashing.
Rear Center Drain Maximizes usable space inside the basin and improves organization under the sink cabinet.
Understanding Zero Radius Corners and Interior Bowl Geometry
The zero radius bowl style on this sink features sharp, clean 90-degree corners that maximize the interior rectangular volume compared to traditional rounded bowls. Think of it like a modern architectural building footprint versus an older curved design; every square inch of the 16 x 20 inch inner floor is usable flat space. This geometric layout allows large pots to sit completely flat on the bottom without tipping, while the 10-inch depth and rear center drain work together to keep water moving efficiently toward the 3 1/2-inch outlet.
Installation Guide
Work with a professional fabricator to ensure your countertop cutout matches the precise 22 x 18 inch dimensions of the sink rim.
Apply a high-grade silicone sealant evenly around the undermount rim to create a watertight bond between the sink and the underside of the countertop.
Support the sink securely with custom mounting brackets or a support frame inside the cabinet before plumbing connections are finalized.
Connect your standard 3 1/2-inch drain assembly and tailpiece carefully, checking all gaskets for proper alignment to prevent leaks.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Flush the basin with warm water and wipe it down with a soft microfiber cloth after each use to prevent mineral film buildup.
Routine Cleaning Use a mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge to clean the satin polished surface, rubbing in the direction of the metal grain.
Stubborn Spots Remove water spots or minor mineral deposits using a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar followed by a thorough rinse.
Surface Protection Avoid leaving wet cast iron or steel utensils on the stainless steel floor for extended periods to prevent surface discoloration.
Chemical Caution Never use harsh chlorine bleach, steel wool, or abrasive scouring powders, as these can scratch and dull the 304 stainless steel finish.

The Enduring Value of Precision Stainless Steel Engineering
Choosing a high-grade stainless steel sink is an investment in long-term kitchen hygiene and structural resilience. The combination of 18/10 chrome-nickel content creates a passive protective layer on the metal surface that naturally fights off oxidation and everyday staining. Unlike composite or porcelain alternatives that can chip or crack under heavy impact from cast iron cookware, resilient 18-gauge steel absorbs kinetic energy while maintaining its structural integrity. This makes it a dependable choice for busy households where the kitchen sink serves as the central hub for meal preparation, dishwashing, and clean-up tasks throughout the day.
Beyond its robust material properties, this sink contributes to a more sustainable and organized kitchen environment. The undermount configuration removes the traditional lip barrier, eliminating hidden crevices where mold, mildew, and food particles typically accumulate. By allowing crumbs and liquids to be swept directly into the 16 x 20 inch basin with a single motion, maintenance becomes faster and more sanitary. Blanco brings decades of specialized manufacturing expertise to this Steelart series fixture, ensuring that the intersection of form and function supports your culinary lifestyle with quiet confidence for years to come.

Efficient Drainage Features engineered drain grooves that guide water directly to the 3 1/2-inch rear center opening for quick removal.
Undermount Design Creates a flush profile beneath your countertops, eliminating lip crevices so crumbs wipe straight into the bowl.
Amphibious Capacity Offers a generous 16 x 20 x 10 inch inner bowl dimension that comfortably fits large roasting pans and baking trays.
