Key Features
Custom Fit Specifically designed to fit the Nantucket FCFS36-DB farmhouse sink model seamlessly.
Stainless Steel Construction Durable metal build offers long-lasting resilience against daily wear and tear.
Protective Bumpers Equipped with vinyl feet and bumpers to cushion your sink basin against scratches.
Non-Slip Design Keeps the grid securely in place while you wash pots, pans, and everyday dishes.
Elevated Airflow Lifts cookware off the floor to let water flow unobstructed straight to the drain.
Understanding Sink Grid Elevation
Think of a bottom grid as a secure scaffolding system for your cookware. Just as a bridge elevates traffic above a riverbed to keep movement fluid, this stainless steel grid raises pots and pans off the floor of your farmhouse sink. This elevation creates a dedicated channel underneath where water and food particles can flow without obstruction straight to the center drain. By keeping heavy items resting on protective vinyl feet rather than direct contact with the basin, the grid absorbs the weight and impact of daily dishwashing while maintaining optimal drainage flow.
Installation Guide
Unpack the stainless steel bottom grid and inspect the vinyl feet and protective bumpers to ensure they are securely attached.
Place the grid directly into the basin of your Nantucket FCFS36-DB farmhouse sink, letting the non-slip feet rest evenly on the floor.
Lift the grid out of the sink periodically during weekly deep cleaning to wipe down the basin surface underneath.
Wash the grid with mild soap and warm water using a soft sponge to remove any soap scum or mineral buildup.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the grid thoroughly after washing dishes to remove food particles, grease, and soap residue.
Routine Washing Clean the stainless steel surface weekly with mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
Dry Storage Wipe down the metal bars occasionally with a soft cloth to prevent water spots from forming.
Bumpers Check Inspect the vinyl feet and protective bumpers regularly to ensure they remain firmly attached.
Gentle Cleansing Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, bleach, or steel wool pads that could scratch the metal or damage the vinyl components.

The Value of Targeted Sink Protection
Investing in a custom-fit stainless steel bottom grid is one of the most effective ways to preserve the investment you made in your kitchen farmhouse sink. Over time, the daily friction of heavy cast iron skillets, stainless steel pots, and silverware can dull or scratch even the most resilient basin surfaces. By introducing a protective barrier that absorbs physical impact, you eliminate the risk of accidental gouges and surface blemishes. The thoughtful inclusion of vinyl feet and bumpers ensures that the grid itself remains stable without causing friction against the sink walls, offering peace of mind during heavy meal preparation and post-dinner cleanup routines.
Beyond physical protection, this accessory fundamentally improves the daily ergonomics of your washing space. When cookware rests directly on the bottom of a sink basin, draining water can easily become trapped underneath pans, leaving behind soapy residue and food particles. The elevated design of this grid maintains an open channel for water to travel swiftly toward the center drain, keeping your washing area sanitary and reducing the need for constant scrubbing. Nantucket Sinks continues to deliver reliable kitchen accessories built on decades of industry expertise, ensuring that every detail of your daily routine is supported by practical, enduring design.
Why This Is the Right Choice
Surface Protection Stainless steel construction paired with vinyl feet prevents pots and pans from scratching your sink basin.
Unobstructed Drainage Elevates dishes above the bottom of the sink so water and food debris flow freely toward the drain.
Secure Stability Non-slip feet keep the grid firmly anchored in your sink while you scrub heavy cookware.
Tailored Precision Engineered specifically to match the unique dimensions of the Nantucket FCFS36-DB farmhouse sink.
