SINK TABLES WITH UNDERSHELF
Stainless steel sink tables with undershelf are designed for washing dishes, kitchenware, and food ingredients in professional kitchens. Single- and double-bowl configurations, models with drainboards, and different bowl sizes provide suitable options for the specific tasks and organization of the washing area.
Pressed sink bowls for easier cleaning
Pressed sink bowls with rounded internal corners are easier to clean and reduce areas where dirt and residue can accumulate. On models with sound insulation underneath the bowl, noise generated when handling dishes, pots, and other metal kitchenware is also reduced.
Pre-drilled faucet hole and drain connection
Depending on the model, the sink top may be supplied with a pre-drilled hole for faucet installation. Sufficient space beneath the sink should be maintained for the trap, water supply connections, and access required for cleaning or servicing.
Sink table undershelf
The undershelf provides space for containers, baskets, cleaning and sanitation supplies, or other accessories used during washing. When a dishwasher is installed next to the sink table, part of the space underneath can also be used for a water softener or other water-treatment equipment, depending on the installation. Stored items should not restrict access to the trap or water connections.
Faucet or professional pre-rinse spray?
For general washing and filling the sink, a single-lever faucet or faucet with a long spout may be sufficient. For large and deep sink bowls and for washing pots, containers, or bulky kitchenware, a professional pre-rinse spray provides greater reach and allows the water stream to be directed where needed.
Depending on the design, conventional pre-rinse units are installed on the sink table and stabilized with a wall bracket. Freestanding swivel models that do not require wall support are also available. These are particularly practical with double-bowl sinks, as one pre-rinse spray can be rotated over either bowl as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should you consider when choosing between a single-bowl and double-bowl sink table?
The choice depends on how the sink will be used. A single bowl is suitable when separate washing steps are not required. A double-bowl sink allows washing and rinsing to be separated or each bowl to be assigned to different tasks, kitchenware, or food ingredients.
What is the purpose of a drainboard next to the sink?
A drainboard provides space for handling dishes, containers, or food ingredients before and after washing. It is also useful for larger kitchenware that needs to be set down before washing or allowed to drain briefly after rinsing.
Can a sink table also be used for washing and preparing food ingredients?
Yes. Depending on the kitchen layout and operating procedures, a dedicated sink table can also be used for washing vegetables, fruit, and other food ingredients. These activities should be properly separated so that a sink designated for food preparation is not simultaneously used for washing soiled dishes and kitchenware.
Why is sink bowl depth important?
A deeper bowl makes it easier to handle large pots, containers, and bulky kitchenware while helping to reduce water splashing around the sink. Bowl depth should therefore be selected primarily according to the kitchenware that will be washed regularly, rather than only by the overall dimensions of the sink table.
