BLANCO Liven SILGRANIT 33" 50/50 Double Bowl Dual Mount Kitchen Sink with Low Divide

Balanced Low Divide Configuration for Maximum Versatility

Experience the perfect balance of organization and flexibility with the BLANCO Liven 33" 50/50 double bowl sink featuring innovative low divide technology. The equal-sized basin configuration provides two identical workspaces measuring over 14 inches in length, ensuring both bowls offer the same generous capacity for washing, rinsing, and food preparation tasks. The reduced-height divider maintains distinct zones for separating clean and dirty dishes while allowing oversized roasting pans, baking sheets, and stockpots to span both bowls without the height restrictions imposed by traditional full-height dividers. Both basins feature exceptional 9-inch depth that accommodates large cookware, while the symmetrical design ensures neither bowl is compromised in size or functionality, making this configuration ideal for households where both basins receive equal use throughout daily cooking and cleanup activities.

Professional-Grade SILGRANIT Construction

Experience the exceptional durability of BLANCO's proprietary SILGRANIT composite material, engineered from 80% natural quartz sand to create a surface that withstands the demands of intensive kitchen use. The non-porous construction naturally resists bacteria while preventing the absorption of stains, odors, and liquids that can compromise traditional sink materials over time. This advanced composite safely accommodates hot cookware directly from the stovetop or oven without thermal damage, while the material's inherent sound-dampening properties create a quieter kitchen environment during food preparation and cleanup. The dual mount design accommodates both drop-in and undermount installation methods, providing flexibility for various countertop materials and renovation scenarios. Pre-drilled with a single faucet hole and four knockout options, this sink offers exceptional customization potential for creating a complete kitchen workspace with multiple accessories.

Common Questions Answered

Why choose a 50/50 configuration over a 60/40 split for a low divide sink?

The 50/50 configuration with low divide offers distinct advantages for households where both basins receive equal use throughout daily cooking and cleanup activities. Unlike 60/40 splits where one bowl is noticeably larger, the equal-sized basins ensure that neither workspace is compromised, providing identical capacity in both bowls for washing large cookware, soaking baking dishes, or handling food preparation tasks. This symmetry is particularly valuable when multiple people work in the kitchen simultaneously—both users have access to equally capable workspaces rather than competing for the larger bowl. The low divide allows oversized items to span both basins when needed, effectively creating a single large workspace for roasting pans or baking sheets, while the equal sizing means you can dedicate either bowl to any task without capacity limitations. This configuration also provides more flexibility for installing garbage disposals, as both bowls offer the same depth and dimensions for disposal mounting, whereas 60/40 splits typically require the disposal in the larger bowl.

How does the low divide height affect daily sink usage and cleanup?

The low divide height fundamentally improves daily sink usage by eliminating the awkward maneuvering required with traditional full-height dividers while maintaining the organizational benefits of separated basins. During food preparation, you can easily transfer items between bowls by sliding them over the low divide rather than lifting them high over a full-height barrier, reducing strain and minimizing water splashing. When washing large items like roasting pans or cookie sheets, the low divide allows these pieces to rest naturally across both bowls, providing stable support while you clean them rather than forcing you to angle them awkwardly within a single basin. The reduced height also simplifies filling large stockpots that won't fit under your faucet when positioned in a single bowl—you can angle the pot across the divide to position it under the faucet while the base rests in the opposite bowl. For cleanup, the low divide allows you to use a single large drying rack that spans both bowls, maximizing drying capacity while water drains into either basin, whereas traditional full-height dividers require separate smaller racks in each bowl.
