BLANCO Quatrus R15 33" 60/40 Double Bowl Undermount Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink

Asymmetric Dual-Basin Design for Enhanced Kitchen Efficiency

Transform your kitchen workflow with the BLANCO QUATRUS R15, a 33" double bowl undermount stainless steel kitchen sink produced in Germany with rigorous quality control. This versatile kitchen sink features carefully calculated 15mm radius corners that balance maximum basin capacity with easy cleaning access, creating smooth transitions that simplify maintenance while preserving substantial workspace. The asymmetric 60/40 layout provides a larger 17" x 16" primary bowl for washing cookware and a secondary 13" x 16" bowl for rinsing produce or food preparation, creating an efficient workflow that adapts to your cooking needs. The 18-gauge premium stainless steel construction provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, while the 9" depth in both bowls accommodates large cookware and stacked dishes. The undermount installation creates seamless countertop integration that simplifies cleanup and enhances visual continuity.

Professional Acoustic Performance in Dual Basins

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 throughout both basins to absorb vibration at critical stress points, minimizing the metallic resonance typically associated with stainless steel sinks and creating a more pleasant kitchen environment. The precision-machined X-pattern drainage grooves in each basin floor work in conjunction with the sound dampening system to efficiently channel water toward the drain openings while preventing liquid pooling, ensuring both basins remain clean and functional with minimal maintenance effort.

Common Questions Answered

What workflow advantages does the 60/40 configuration provide?

The 60/40 double bowl configuration delivers significant workflow advantages by providing two differently sized work zones that support specialized kitchen tasks without the space compromises of equal-sized bowls. The larger 17" x 16" primary bowl accommodates oversized cookware, baking sheets, and roasting pans that wouldn't fit comfortably in a 50/50 configuration's smaller bowls, while still maintaining a functional secondary basin for simultaneous tasks. This asymmetric layout allows you to dedicate the large bowl to washing dishes and cookware while using the smaller bowl for rinsing produce, draining pasta, or food preparation, creating an efficient assembly-line workflow. The 13" secondary bowl provides substantially more capacity than typical small bowls in 70/30 configurations, making it genuinely useful for everyday tasks rather than serving merely as a disposal area.

How do 15mm radius corners enhance double bowl functionality?

The 15mm radius corners represent BLANCO's engineering approach to optimizing double bowl sink performance by balancing multiple functional factors. These moderately radiused corners provide easier cleaning access than tight-radius or zero-radius designs, allowing you to reach into corner areas with standard cleaning tools without the difficulty associated with sharp 90-degree angles. At the same time, the 15mm radius maintains substantially more usable basin capacity than traditional rounded-corner sinks, maximizing the workspace available within each bowl. This corner geometry also reduces stress concentration points in the stainless steel, contributing to the sink's long-term structural integrity while creating the refined aesthetic that characterizes the QUATRUS collection. The balanced design proves particularly valuable in double bowl configurations where maintaining maximum capacity in both basins is essential for efficient multitasking.
