Karran Stainless Steel Sink for a 36-Inch Double-Bowl Kitchen Station

The Karran Edge 550 is an 18-gauge stainless steel undermount kitchen sink with two equal bowls, engineered to mount seamlessly beneath laminate and solid surface countertops in a standard 36-inch base cabinet.

Key Features

• Equal 50/50 double-bowl layout provides two dedicated basins for splitting wash and rinse tasks.
• Seamless undermount installation bonds cleanly to laminate and solid surface countertops without exposed hardware at the rim.
• 18-gauge stainless steel construction in the Edge 500 series.
• 9-inch bowl depth gives clearance for large pots and tall cookware.
• IAPMO certified to meet plumbing product standards.
• Requires a 36-inch minimum cabinet width for proper fit and installation.

Two Full-Depth Bowls in One Sink

A 50/50 double-bowl sink divides the work naturally: one side for soaking, one side clear for rinsing vegetables or prepping ingredients. At 9 inches deep, both bowls handle oversized stock pots and sheet pans without the water splashing out. The 33-7/8-inch overall length puts the bowls side by side with enough interior room to work in each independently. This is the configuration most residential kitchens default to when two distinct basins matter more than one wide open workspace.

Stainless Steel Built for the Undermount Install

The Edge 550 is 18-gauge stainless steel, a thickness that balances rigidity with sound deadening in a daily-use kitchen sink. What sets this model apart from a standard undermount is the seamless installation method: the sink bonds directly to laminate or solid surface countertops without a visible rim line at the countertop edge. That detail keeps water from pooling at a rim and wipes clean in a single pass. The stainless finish coordinates with most kitchen hardware and appliances without locking in a specific color scheme.

Where This Sink Works Best

This is the right sink for a primary kitchen counter where the countertop is laminate or solid surface and the base cabinet is 36 inches wide. It fits remodel and new-build projects equally well, since the seamless undermount method requires the countertop to be fabricated around the sink rather than dropped into an existing cutout. Designers specifying a Karran sink for a full kitchen package will find the Edge 500 series fits a variety of standard configurations; the 550 is the 36-inch double-bowl option in that family. Cabinet shops and contractors setting up a kitchen with a laminate countertop will get a clean, rim-free result that holds up to the traffic of a working kitchen.
