BLANCO Stellar 15" Undermount Stainless Steel Bar Sink

Compact Design for Secondary Prep Zones

Maximize functionality in limited spaces with the BLANCO Stellar 15-inch Undermount Bar Sink, engineered to provide full-featured washing capabilities in compact installations like kitchen islands, wet bars, and butler pantries. The 15-inch square configuration delivers a generous 13-inch interior basin that accommodates bar glassware, prep bowls, and small cookware while requiring only an 18-inch minimum cabinet—making it ideal for installations where space constraints prevent full-size sink placement. German-engineered with premium 18-gauge stainless steel, this bar sink delivers the same corrosion resistance and durability as full-size kitchen sinks in a footprint that fits secondary prep areas. The 6.5-inch depth provides practical capacity for washing and rinsing without the excessive reach required by deeper configurations, while the rounded corners simplify cleaning by eliminating the sharp angles where debris accumulates in traditional square-corner designs.

Premium Features in Space-Efficient Package

Experience professional-grade performance through the combination of undermount installation, sound dampening technology, and corrosion-resistant construction typically reserved for larger sinks. The undermount design creates seamless countertop integration that eliminates the raised rim where dirt accumulates with drop-in configurations, allowing you to wipe bar or island countertops directly into the sink without obstruction. Pre-installed sound dampening pads reduce the noise generated when water contacts the basin or glassware impacts the surface, creating a quieter environment that's particularly valuable in open-concept spaces where bar areas adjoin living and dining zones. The brushed stainless steel finish resists water spots and fingerprints better than polished surfaces, maintaining a clean appearance with minimal maintenance even in high-traffic bar and entertainment areas where multiple users access the sink throughout gatherings.

Common Questions Answered

What makes bar sinks ideal for secondary prep zones?

Bar sinks provide dedicated washing and prep capabilities in locations where full-size kitchen sinks aren't practical or necessary, creating functional workstations that enhance kitchen workflow without requiring extensive cabinet space. The compact 15-inch footprint fits kitchen islands, allowing you to rinse vegetables or wash prep bowls without walking to the main sink, streamlining meal preparation by keeping tasks localized. In wet bar installations, the bar sink handles glassware washing and ice bucket filling without requiring guests to access the main kitchen, maintaining separation between entertaining and cooking zones. Butler pantries benefit from bar sinks by providing dedicated space for washing serving pieces and preparing beverages without competing for main sink access during meal service. The 18-inch minimum cabinet requirement means bar sinks can be installed in locations where space constraints prevent full-size sink placement, maximizing the utility of compact areas.

How does the 15-inch size compare to standard bar sinks?

The 15-inch square configuration represents a generous bar sink specification that provides significantly more interior capacity than smaller 12 or 13-inch models commonly found in economy installations. The 13-inch interior basin accommodates standard bar glassware, mixing glasses, and small prep bowls that don't fit comfortably in more compact bar sinks, making it suitable for serious entertaining and food preparation rather than simply decorative installations. The square configuration maximizes usable basin area within the compact footprint, providing more practical workspace than rectangular bar sinks of similar overall dimensions. The 6.5-inch depth strikes an optimal balance between capacity and accessibility—deep enough to prevent splashing during use yet shallow enough to allow comfortable access to the basin floor without excessive reaching. This combination of dimensions makes the Stellar 15-inch bar sink appropriate for installations where you need genuine functionality rather than simply a token washing station.
