Kitchen Sink Comparison

Your sink gets used more than almost any other fixture in the kitchen. Here's how bowl configuration and mount type compare, so you can choose the right fit for your bench.

Top-Mount vs. Under-Mount

A top-mount sink drops into a cutout with a visible rim resting on the benchtop — the simpler, more affordable installation, and the only option on several of our larger E-series models, which fit 500mm to 800mm base units. Our AN-series sinks, including the most compact model in the range, are more flexible and available in either top-mount or under-mount. An under-mount sink is fixed beneath the benchtop for a seamless, rim-free look, available where the benchtop material supports it.

Sink FAQ

Should I choose a single-bowl or double-bowl sink?

A single large bowl gives you more room for oversized pots and trays and suits a compact kitchen with limited bench width. A double bowl lets you separate washing and prep (or wash and drain) at the same time, and suits a wider bench where you're not tight on space.

What's the difference between top-mount and under-mount sinks?

A top-mount sink sits on top of the benchtop with a visible rim, and is the simpler, more affordable installation. An under-mount sink sits beneath the benchtop for a seamless look with no visible rim, giving a cleaner finish but requiring a benchtop material that supports it.

What sink material do you supply?

Stainless steel and composite, in single and double-bowl configurations, each supplied with a designer waste and overflow for a straightforward install.

What size sink fits my cabinetry?

Our range fits base units from 250mm up to 900mm wide, so the right sink size depends on your available cabinetry width — our design team will match the sink to your specific layout during design.

Is sink installation coordinated with my benchtop and tap?

Yes — our own installers handle plumbing, benchtop cutouts, and tap placement together in one process, rather than leaving it for a separate trade to coordinate.
