Karran Quartz Sink For Kitchens That Need a Dedicated Prep Side
The Karran Q-360R is a quartz composite undermount kitchen sink with a large/small bowl layout — a full-size wash basin on the left and a dedicated smaller prep bowl on the right, in a 32-1/2 by 21 inch footprint. Built from 80% natural quartz crystals and 20% acrylic resin, it brings a durable, unified look to kitchens where multitasking at the sink is part of every meal.
Key Features
• Large/small bowl layout pairs a roomy primary wash basin with a right-side prep bowl for simultaneous tasks.
• Quartz composite construction (80% quartz / 20% acrylic resin) is highly scratch, stain, chip, and heat resistant under normal kitchen use.
• Undermount installation positions the sink beneath the countertop for a clean, wipe-friendly counter edge.
• White finish coordinates with a wide range of countertop colors and cabinet finishes.
• No faucet deck means faucet and soap dispenser holes are drilled through the countertop itself, keeping the design uncluttered.
• Compatible with quartz, granite, and solid surface countertops for conventional undermount installation.
Where the Split Bowl Layout Earns Its Place
A large/small bowl configuration makes the most sense when two things need to happen at the sink at once. The larger bowl handles the main workload — soaking a roasting pan, washing produce, hand-washing cookware — while the smaller bowl to the right stays open for rinsing, staging cut vegetables, or running a colander. Compared to a single bowl or a 50/50 equal double, the offset split gives the primary basin noticeably more room without giving up a dedicated secondary space. It is a natural fit for kitchens that cook seriously and don't want the sink becoming a bottleneck during prep.
The undermount format supports this workflow directly. Without a visible rim breaking the counter surface, scraps and liquids sweep straight into the bowl, and the counter stays easier to clean between tasks.
Quartz Composite Built for Daily Kitchen Demands
Quartz composite is a material that suits kitchen environments well. The high quartz content gives the bowl a dense, hard surface that holds up against the routine scratches and stains of daily cooking — dropped utensils, acidic foods, coffee and tea residue. The material is also heat resistant, though setting extremely hot pans directly on the surface is never recommended for any composite bowl. The White color runs through the material rather than sitting as a surface coating, so chips, if they occur, are less conspicuous than they would be on a painted or enameled finish. The matte texture is consistent across the bowl interior, hiding minor water marks and scuffs that would show on a polished surface.
A Good Match for Fabricators and Serious Kitchen Renovators
The Q-360R is a QU Series model, meaning it installs as a conventional undermount — beneath the countertop, secured with the appropriate clips and adhesive for the countertop material. It works in quartz, granite, and solid surface countertops. Template and mounting clips are not included; the fabricator will use their standard undermount process or download the available DXF cutout file for CNC work. Because there is no faucet deck, the countertop fabricator plans faucet and accessory hole placement as part of the stone or surface work — a detail worth coordinating before the cutout is cut. This model is the right call for a professional kitchen renovation or a cabinet shop building out a full kitchen package where the sink, countertop, and faucet are specified together from the start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Q-360R the same as a Q Series seamless sink?
No. The Q-360R is a QU Series quartz undermount model, which installs as a conventional undermount beneath the countertop. Karran's seamless installation capability belongs to the Q Series (not QU), designed for laminate and solid surface countertops using a flush-rim bonding method. The Q-360R is for standard undermount applications in quartz, granite, and solid surface.
Which bowl is the large bowl — left or right?
On the Q-360R, the large bowl is on the left and the small bowl is on the right. The "R" in the model name indicates the small bowl is positioned to the right.
Are clips and a template included?
No. Per Karran's documentation for the QU Series, mounting clips and a paper template are not included. A DXF file is available for CNC cutouts. Plan to use your standard undermount hardware for the countertop material specified.
Where does the faucet mount?
The Q-360R has no faucet deck, so the faucet, soap dispenser, and any other deck accessories mount through the countertop. Coordinate hole placement with your fabricator before the countertop cutout is finalized.
Does a bottom grid fit this sink?
Grid and accessory fit in Karran's line is model-specific and often bowl-specific on large/small configurations. Check the Karran accessory fit table for the Q-360R to confirm the correct grid for each bowl before ordering.
A Sink That Keeps the Kitchen Moving
The Q-360R brings a practical bowl split, durable quartz composite construction, and a clean undermount profile together in a format that suits the pace of a working kitchen — whether it's a homeowner's renovation or a professional cabinet shop specifying a complete installation.
