Product Details
Why the Karran Quartz Sink in Concrete Transforms Your Kitchen Workflow
The Karran Qundermount kitchen sink in Concrete brings professional-grade durability to your kitchen workspace with its sophisticated neutral finish that conceals daily wear marks better than lighter colors. This 32" undermount sink eliminates the rim that traps food particles, creating a seamless transition from countertop to basin that makes cleanup faster and more thorough.
Built for homeowners who demand both style and substance, this quartz composite sink handles everything from delicate wine glasses to heavy cast iron cookware without compromising its appearance. The Concrete finish offers an industrial-chic aesthetic that complements both modern farmhouse and contemporary kitchen designs while maintaining the practical benefits of engineered quartz construction.
How Karran's 80% Quartz Construction Makes Daily Kitchen Tasks Easier
Superior Heat Protection
- Withstands temperatures up to 535°F without damage, allowing you to place hot pots directly from stovetop to sink
- Rapid temperature changes from boiling water to ice-cold rinses won't cause thermal shock or cracking
Hygienic Non-Porous Surface
- Prevents bacteria growth up to 98%, eliminating odors and maintaining sanitary conditions
- Food residue and grease wipe away easily without staining the Concrete surface
Noise Reduction Technology
- Quartz material absorbs vibration, reducing dish-washing noise by up to 70% compared to stainless steel
- Sound-dampening properties create a more peaceful kitchen environment during meal prep
Scratch and Impact Resistance
- 80% natural quartz crystals bonded with 20% acrylic resin create a surface harder than granite
- Daily knife marks and cookware impacts remain invisible on the uniform Concrete finish
Spacious Single Bowl Design
- 30" x 16¾" x 9" internal dimensions accommodate large baking sheets and stockpots
- Rear drain placement maximizes usable bowl space and cabinet storage below

Questions About the Karran QU-712-CN Undermount Sink? Here Are the Answers
Q: Will the Concrete finish show water spots like stainless steel?
A: No. The matte Concrete surface naturally conceals water spots and mineral deposits, making daily maintenance easier than polished surfaces.
Q: Can I use bleach-based cleaners on the Concrete finish?
A: Yes, but dilute household bleach with 15 parts water and limit soaking to 1 hour maximum. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
Q: What's the minimum cabinet size requirement?
A: You need a 36" wide base cabinet. The sink measures 32½" overall width, leaving adequate clearance for installation.
Q: Is the Concrete color consistent throughout the material?
A: Yes. Unlike surface-colored materials, the Concrete pigment is integrated throughout the quartz composite, so scratches or chips won't reveal different colors underneath.
Q: How does the QU-712 compare to stainless steel for noise?
A: Quartz absorbs sound vibrations significantly better than stainless steel, reducing noise by approximately 70% during dish washing.
Q: Can I install a garbage disposal with this sink?
A: Yes. The 3½" drain opening accommodates most standard garbage disposal units. Verify compatibility with your specific disposal model.
