29-Inch Bottom Grid Built for Karran Farmhouse Sinks
The Karran GR-6001 is a 29-inch stainless steel bottom grid designed specifically for the QA-740 and QAR-740 farmhouse sinks. It sits in the bowl to elevate dishes and cookware off the basin floor, protecting the quartz composite surface while water drains freely beneath.
Key Features
• Exact-fit design matches the bowl geometry of the QA-740 and QAR-740 farmhouse sinks for a secure, rattle-free placement.
• Stainless steel construction holds up to daily kitchen use without corroding or staining under normal conditions.
• Raised grid profile lifts dishes and cookware above standing water and residue, keeping the bowl surface cleaner between washes.
• Open wire pattern lets water drain through without pooling around the grid feet or trapping debris.
• Sold separately from the sink, making it a purpose-made add-on for QA-740 and QAR-740 owners completing their setup.
What This Grid Is Built to Do
Deep farmhouse bowls like the QA-740 and QAR-740 take a lot of daily traffic: sheet pans, heavy stockpots, and cast iron land in them repeatedly. Without a grid in place, that kind of use gradually scuffs the bowl floor. The GR-6001 keeps cookware elevated so contact happens at the grid wires rather than directly against the quartz composite. Water flows beneath it and toward the drain unimpeded, which means less standing moisture and fewer water marks on the bottom of the bowl.
Materials and Fit
The grid is fabricated from stainless steel, which resists the moisture and cleaning products a kitchen sink encounters over its life. The 29-inch length is matched to the interior dimensions of the QA-740 and QAR-740 specifically. These two models share a bowl size — the QA-740 is a standard farmhouse installation and the QAR-740 is the retrofit version for a standard 36-inch base cabinet — but both use the same bowl, so one grid serves either sink. That dimensional precision is what separates the GR-6001 from generic grids: a grid that fits loosely shifts under load and can scratch the very surface it was added to protect.
Who Should Order This Grid
This grid is the right choice for anyone who owns or is specifying a QA-740 or QAR-740 and wants to protect the bowl from the start. Cabinet shops installing either farmhouse model for a client often include the grid as part of the finished install. Homeowners who already have one of these sinks in place and are seeing wear on the bowl floor will find the GR-6001 a straightforward fix. Because the fit is bowl-specific, it is not a substitute for grids made for other Karran models.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this grid fit both the QA-740 and the QAR-740?
Yes. Both sinks share the same bowl dimensions, so the GR-6001 is the correct grid for either installation, whether the QA-740 was set into a farmhouse cabinet or the QAR-740 was retrofitted into a standard 36-inch base.
Will the grid scratch the quartz composite bowl?
The grid is designed to protect the bowl, not harm it. The stainless wire contacts the quartz at defined points rather than dragging across the surface. Rinsing the grid periodically to remove trapped grit is good practice in any sink.
Is the drain blocked when the grid is in place?
No. The open wire pattern and raised profile allow water to flow freely to the drain beneath the grid.
Does the sink ship with this grid included?
The GR-6001 is a separately sold accessory and does not ship with the QA-740 or QAR-740 sink. It is ordered independently to complete the setup.
Surface Protection That Lasts as Long as the Sink
A farmhouse sink is a long-term investment, and the GR-6001 keeps the bowl looking the way it did on day one by taking the daily wear that would otherwise land on the quartz surface itself.
