BLANCO Diamond SILGRANIT 32" 40/60 Reverse Double Bowl Undermount Kitchen Sink with Low Divide

Low Divide Design for Flexible Workspace Configuration

Optimize your kitchen workflow with the BLANCO Diamond 40/60 Reverse Double Bowl Sink featuring an innovative low divide that combines the advantages of double-bowl functionality with the oversized item capacity of single-basin sinks. The reduced-height divider allows you to maneuver large baking sheets, roasting pans, and oversized cookware across both basins when needed, while still providing the organizational benefits of separate washing and rinsing zones during everyday use. The 60/40 split positions the larger 16.63-inch basin on the right side—ideal for right-handed users who prefer their primary workspace on the dominant-hand side—while the 12.5-inch secondary basin handles prep tasks, disposal operations, or drying duties. Both basins feature identical 9.5-inch depth that provides ample capacity without the awkward reach required by deeper configurations, and the SILGRANIT construction with 80% quartz sand delivers exceptional durability that resists chips, scratches, and thermal shock.

Dual-Zone Organization for Efficient Kitchen Operations

Experience enhanced workflow efficiency through the strategic separation that allows simultaneous operations without cross-contamination or workspace conflicts. The larger basin accommodates washing and soaking tasks while the secondary basin handles food prep, disposal, or drying functions, eliminating the constant repositioning required by single-basin configurations. The low divide design proves particularly valuable during large meal preparation when you need to wash vegetables in one basin while the other handles meat prep, or during cleanup when you can wash dishes in the primary basin while using the secondary for rinsing or air-drying. The undermount installation creates seamless countertop integration that allows you to wipe debris directly into either basin, while the non-porous SILGRANIT surface resists staining from food and beverages. The heat-resistant material withstands temperatures up to 536°F, allowing you to place hot cookware in either basin without concern for thermal damage.

Common Questions Answered

What advantages does the low divide provide over standard dividers?

The low divide configuration fundamentally changes how you interact with double-bowl sinks by eliminating the primary limitation of traditional high dividers—the inability to accommodate oversized items. Standard dividers create two completely separate basins that cannot handle items larger than the individual bowl dimensions, forcing you to wash large baking sheets, roasting pans, and cookie sheets in awkward diagonal positions or not at all. The low divide allows these oversized items to span both basins when necessary, providing the flexibility of a super single sink when you need it while maintaining the organizational advantages of separate zones during everyday use. This design proves particularly valuable during holiday cooking when you're managing multiple large items simultaneously, or during cleanup when you need to wash oversized serving platters and roasting pans that don't fit in traditional double-bowl configurations.

Why is the 40/60 reverse split beneficial for right-handed users?

The reverse configuration positions the larger 60% basin on the right side, aligning with the natural workflow of right-handed users who typically perform primary tasks with their dominant hand. This placement means your main washing, soaking, and heavy-duty cleaning operations occur in the larger basin positioned where you have the most control and reach, while the smaller secondary basin on the left handles supporting tasks like food prep, disposal, or drying. This orientation also works well with typical kitchen layouts where the dishwasher is positioned to the left of the sink—you can scrape and rinse dishes in the right basin, then easily transfer them to the dishwasher on the left side. For households where the primary cook is right-handed, this configuration creates more intuitive workflow than standard 60/40 splits where the larger basin sits on the left side.
