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

Standard 60/40 Configuration for Left-Handed Workflow

Enhance your kitchen efficiency with the BLANCO Diamond 60/40 Double Bowl Sink featuring a low divide positioned just 5.5 inches from the basin floor, creating unprecedented flexibility for handling oversized cookware while maintaining separate work zones. The standard 60/40 split positions the larger 16.63-inch basin on the left side—ideal for left-handed users or kitchen layouts where the dishwasher sits to the right of the sink, allowing natural workflow from washing to loading. The reduced-height partition eliminates the primary frustration of traditional double bowls by accommodating large baking sheets, roasting pans, and stock pots that span both basins when necessary, while the dual 9.5-inch depths provide consistent capacity throughout both zones. Crafted from SILGRANIT granite composite with 80% quartz sand, this sink delivers exceptional resistance to chips, scratches, and thermal shock that can compromise lesser materials during intensive kitchen use.

Separate Zones for Organized Kitchen Tasks

Experience streamlined meal preparation through the strategic basin separation that allows dedicated zones for different kitchen operations without cross-contamination concerns. The larger left basin handles primary washing, soaking, and heavy-duty cleaning tasks while the right basin manages food preparation, disposal operations, or serves as a drying area for clean dishes. The low divide design proves particularly valuable during complex meal preparation when you need to wash vegetables in one basin while the other handles raw meat prep, or during cleanup when you can wash dishes in the primary basin while using the secondary for rinsing or air-drying operations. The undermount installation creates seamless countertop integration that prevents dirt accumulation around the rim, while the non-porous SILGRANIT surface resists staining from coffee, wine, and acidic foods. The heat-resistant composition withstands temperatures up to 536°F, allowing you to place hot cookware directly from the oven into either basin without thermal damage concerns.

Common Questions Answered

How does the 5.5-inch low divide height improve functionality?

The 5.5-inch divide height represents a carefully engineered balance between maintaining separate work zones and accommodating oversized items. This specific height sits low enough to allow full-size baking sheets, large roasting pans, and oversized cookie sheets to span both basins when positioned at an angle, yet remains high enough to prevent water from splashing between basins during normal use. The reduced height also improves ergonomics by eliminating the awkward reach required when working in the far corners of basins separated by traditional high dividers—you can comfortably access all areas of both basins without straining. 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 that don't fit in either basin individually but can be accommodated across the low divide.

Why choose standard 60/40 over reverse configuration?

The standard 60/40 configuration with the larger basin on the left side offers distinct advantages for specific kitchen layouts and user preferences. This orientation works particularly well when your dishwasher is positioned to the right of the sink—you can scrape and wash dishes in the left basin, then easily transfer them to the dishwasher on the right side without crossing over the larger basin. For left-handed users, this configuration places the primary workspace on the dominant-hand side, creating more natural and comfortable workflow during washing and prep tasks. The standard orientation also aligns well with typical kitchen traffic patterns where users approach the sink from the right side, making the larger basin immediately accessible without requiring you to reach across the secondary basin. This configuration proves ideal for households where the primary cook is left-handed or where kitchen layout dictates dishwasher placement on the right side of the sink.
