Page 2 of 2 Double Bowl Kitchen Sinks

Return to page 1 of Double Bowl Kitchen Sinks

Once you've used a double bowl kitchen sink you can't go back! They're the ideal multitasking kitchen master, giving you the flexibility to do all things kitchen at once! Swill vegetables, rinse or soak dishes, it's easy with two enormous bowls. With our fantastic range, you can choose between double bowls with a drainer mounted on either the left or right, or double bowls with no drainers at all for a practical approach to minimalism.

Our double bowl sinks are available in modern stainless steel or the more traditional ceramic Belfast style and come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit all sizes of kitchens. We also stock sinks from the biggest kitchen brands in the business like hansgrohe, Reginox and Sauber.

 
 

How do I decide between stainless steel, ceramic, fireclay or composite for a double bowl sink?

Think about daily wear and the look you want. Stainless steel (many Sauber models) is modern, affordable and copes well with heat, but it can show watermarks and light scratches. Ceramic and fireclay (Rangemaster, Thomas Denby, Eastlake) give a classic Belfast or farmhouse look, are very hard wearing and stain resistant, but they are heavier and more traditional in feel. Granite or granite composite (Reginox Best 20) and specialist finishes such as hansgrohe's SilicaTec offer matt colours and scratch resistance if you want a contemporary, durable finish.

What size double bowl sink should you choose for a small galley kitchen versus a larger kitchen island?

Match the sink length to your available run and how you work; compact double bowls are often around 750–800mm (for example, Sauber 750–785mm models), while family or farmhouse sinks commonly start at 900–1000mm and above. For a small galley, a 700–799mm sink with shallower bowls keeps space for preparation; on an island you can comfortably use a 900–1100mm sink to give larger bowls and room for a drainer. Also check typical bowl depths — many doubles sit in the 200–299mm range — to make sure you can soak pans without excessive splashing.

Do you need a drainer, and should it be left or right hand?

A drainer is useful if you want a place to air-dry or drain veg, but many people prefer no drainer for a cleaner, minimalist look — 27 of the double bowls shown have no drainer. If you do want one, models are offered with left-only, right-only or configurable options; pick the side that sits next to your prep area or dishwasher for easiest workflow. For example, choose a left-hand drainer if your dishwasher is on the left, so you can rinse into the sink and slide items straight across.

Which style suits a traditional farmhouse kitchen and which works best for a modern look?

For a farmhouse or country kitchen choose Belfast, apron front or Butler styles — makers like Thomas Denby, Shaws and Eastlake specialise in those ceramic or fireclay farm sinks that deliver the classic look. If you prefer a sleek, contemporary aesthetic go for stainless steel inset or undermount bowls (Sauber, Reginox) or specialist finishes such as hansgrohe's graphite SilicaTec undermount sink. A practical example: a white Rangemaster Belfast double bowl creates a focal point in a country kitchen, while a Sauber undermount stainless double bowl keeps a modern run neat and easy to clean.

How do bowl shape and depth affect everyday use with two bowls?

Rectangular bowls (the majority here) give more usable floor area for pans and chopping, while square bowls work for neat, symmetrical layouts. Deeper bowls make it easier to soak and wash large pots; many doubles have depths in the 200–299mm range, which suits most household tasks. If you routinely handle large pans, aim for a wider and deeper pair — for example, a 900–1000mm double with 200–300mm depths will let you soak on one side and rinse on the other without crowding.
