Karran QU-811-BI Quartz Undermount Kitchen Sink | 32" Double Bowl in Bisque | Heat Resistant to 535°F
Color: Bisque
Product Details
Traditional Elegance Meets Modern Performance
The Karran QU-811 in Bisque delivers the perfect balance of timeless sophistication and contemporary functionality for your kitchen. This warm, neutral tone embodies the classic charm that homeowners seek while providing the superior performance of advanced quartz composite technology.
Professional-Grade Construction
Engineered with 80% natural quartz crystals and 20% pure acrylic resin, the QU-811 Bisque offers exceptional durability that surpasses traditional ceramic and stainless-steel alternatives. The non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth and eliminates the need for periodic sealing, making it an ideal choice for busy family kitchens.
Optimized Design Features
The 60/40 double bowl configuration provides maximum versatility with a generous 17⅛" x 19" x 9" main bowl perfect for washing large cookware, while the 11 7/16" x 16¾" x 9" secondary bowl handles food preparation and rinsing tasks efficiently. The rear drain positioning creates additional storage space beneath your sink, maximizing your cabinet's utility.
Superior Heat Resistance
Unlike conventional sink materials, the QU-811 Bisque withstands temperatures up to 535°F, allowing you to place hot pots directly from the stove without concern for damage. This exceptional heat resistance makes it ideal for serious home cooks who demand professional-grade performance.
Design Compatibility
The bisque finish complements traditional kitchen designs beautifully, particularly those featuring warm wood cabinetry, natural stone countertops, and classic color palettes. This versatile neutral tone works seamlessly with both granite and quartz countertops, providing design flexibility for various kitchen styles.
Installation Specifications
Designed for undermount installation, the QU-811 requires a minimum 36" cabinet width and professional installation for optimal performance. The included template and mounting hardware ensure precise placement, while the solid surface construction provides the structural integrity necessary for long-term durability.
Maintenance Simplicity
Daily care requires only dish soap and warm water, while the non-porous surface resists staining and scratching from normal kitchen use. For deeper cleaning, Bar Keeper's Friend or diluted bleach solutions effectively remove stubborn stains without damaging the surface.
Certification and Warranty
The QU-811 Bisque carries cUPC and IAPMO certifications, ensuring compliance with North American plumbing standards. Backed by Karran's limited lifetime warranty, this sink provides peace of mind for homeowners investing in quality kitchen infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the bisque color ideal for traditional kitchen designs?
The bisque finish offers a warm, cream-like tone that complements natural materials like wood and stone commonly found in traditional kitchens. Unlike stark white alternatives, bisque provides subtle warmth while maintaining the clean, neutral appearance that works with various design elements.
How does the QU-811's heat resistance compare to other sink materials?
The QU-811's 535°F heat resistance significantly exceeds most composite materials and far surpasses stainless steel's typical 200°F limitation. This superior heat tolerance makes it suitable for professional cooking applications where hot cookware contact is common.
Can I install this sink in existing 36" cabinetry?
Yes, the QU-811 is specifically designed for standard 36" cabinets, though professional installation is recommended to ensure proper support and sealing. The undermount design requires solid surface countertops for adequate structural support.
How do I maintain the bisque finish over time?
Regular cleaning with non-abrasive soap and water maintains the finish's appearance. For stubborn stains, use Bar Keeper's Friend or magic eraser sponges, followed by thorough rinsing. Avoid harsh chemicals and always dry the surface to prevent water spots.
What's the advantage of the 60/40 bowl configuration?
The 60/40 split provides a large washing basin for pots and pans while maintaining a smaller bowl for food preparation and rinsing. This configuration offers more flexibility than equal-sized double bowls while maximizing the sink's overall utility.
