Perfect For
Busy family kitchens managing heavy daily meal prep and frequent dishwashing tasks
Home cooks looking to protect new stainless steel or composite kitchen sink basins
Individuals wanting to prevent scratches from heavy pots and cast iron pans
Kitchens utilizing a center drain setup that benefits from uninhibited water runoff
Apartments and residential spaces seeking low-maintenance sink organization accessories
Renovators aiming to maintain the showroom finish of their kitchen hardware
The secret to keeping a kitchen sink looking brand new lies in managing physical contact between heavy cookware and the delicate basin floor. Think of the VIGO bottom grid as a suspension bridge for your dishes; instead of heavy cast iron resting directly on the floor of the sink, the stainless steel wire frame distributes weight evenly across protective vinyl feet. This elevated platform creates a vital buffer zone where water can continue to flow toward the center drain while pots, pans, and ceramic plates rest safely above potential impact zones.
Installation Guide
Unpack the chrome sink grid and inspect the attached vinyl feet and protective bumpers to ensure they are securely in place.
Clear out your kitchen sink basin and wipe down the floor of the sink to remove any loose debris or residue.
Lower the 6 3/4 x 14 inch rectangular grid gently into the bottom of the sink basin, aligning it with your center drain.
Lift and remove the grid periodically to wash away trapped food particles and wipe down both the accessory and the sink floor.

Bumper Inspection Check the vinyl feet and protective bumpers regularly to ensure they remain clean and securely attached to the wire frame.

Preserving Your Kitchen Investment for the Long Run
Investing in a quality kitchen sink is a major decision for any home remodel, and protecting that surface is essential for maintaining its aesthetic appeal over decades of meal preparation. The VIGO sink bottom grid acts as an indispensable shield between your cookware and the delicate basin floor. By taking the physical impact of heavy cast iron skillets, sharp utensils, and stacked ceramic plates, this stainless steel accessory prevents minor scuffs from turning into permanent surface damage. The polished chrome finish not only complements modern kitchen hardware but also provides a resilient layer against daily corrosion, ensuring that your washing station remains a bright and functional centerpiece of your culinary space.
Beyond immediate scratch prevention, this grid elevates your daily kitchen workflow by promoting better hygiene and effortless cleaning habits.

By incorporating this practical accessory into your kitchen routine, you extend the lifespan of your sink while enjoying a cleaner, more organized workspace every single day.
