BLANCO Quatrus R0 22" Single Bowl Undermount Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink

Compact German Engineering for Space-Efficient Kitchens

Maximize functionality in compact spaces with the BLANCO QUATRUS R0, a 22" single bowl undermount stainless steel kitchen sink that delivers German engineering precision in a space-efficient footprint. Manufactured in Germany with meticulous attention to detail, this versatile kitchen sink features zero-radius corners that create sharp 90-degree angles, maximizing the usable 20" x 16" interior basin space while delivering the clean architectural lines that define contemporary kitchen design. The 18-gauge premium stainless steel construction provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, while the 9" basin depth offers generous capacity for washing cookware and dishes without overwhelming smaller kitchen layouts. The undermount installation creates seamless countertop integration that simplifies cleanup and enhances visual appeal, making this sink ideal for kitchen islands, secondary prep areas, and compact kitchen installations.

Professional Acoustic Engineering in Compact Design

Experience the quiet performance of pre-installed sound dampening pads that significantly reduce operational noise during everyday kitchen activities. These factory-applied acoustic pads are strategically positioned to absorb vibration at critical stress points throughout the basin, minimizing the metallic resonance typically associated with stainless steel sinks and creating a more pleasant kitchen environment. The precision-machined X-pattern drainage grooves work in conjunction with the sound dampening system to efficiently channel water toward the drain opening while preventing liquid pooling, ensuring your compact basin remains clean and functional with minimal maintenance effort.

Common Questions Answered

What applications benefit most from a 22" kitchen sink?

The 22" length makes this sink particularly well-suited for applications where space efficiency is critical but full kitchen sink functionality is still required. Kitchen islands represent an ideal application, as the compact footprint preserves valuable island workspace while providing a dedicated prep sink for washing vegetables, rinsing dishes, or filling pots. Secondary kitchens in basements, guest suites, or in-law apartments benefit from the space-saving dimensions that fit smaller cabinet configurations without sacrificing essential sink capacity. The 22" size also works well in galley kitchens, condos, and apartments where standard 24" base cabinets are common, allowing homeowners to upgrade from basic drop-in sinks to premium undermount installations without requiring cabinet modifications or layout changes.

How do zero-radius corners enhance compact sink functionality?

Zero-radius corners provide critical functional advantages in compact sink designs by maximizing every inch of available basin space within the constrained footprint. The sharp 90-degree corners ensure that the 20" x 16" interior basin utilizes the full rectangular area without sacrificing corner space to rounded edges, effectively providing more usable workspace than rounded-corner sinks of similar exterior dimensions. This precision geometry allows you to position rectangular items like baking sheets, cutting boards, and dish racks flat against the basin floor without interference, making the most efficient use of the compact basin. The defined corners also create clean edges that complement modern kitchen cabinetry and countertop materials, while the German manufacturing precision ensures these sharp corners maintain their geometry and structural integrity throughout years of daily use in high-traffic kitchen environments.
