A Bold Black Quartz Sink for Everyday Kitchen Work
The Karran QT-810 in Black is a top mount double equal bowl kitchen sink built from 80% natural quartz and 20% acrylic resin. It installs from above into any countertop material and arrives as a ready-to-use kit, so the basin is doing real work from day one.
Key Features
• Quartz composite construction delivers a highly scratch, stain, chip, and heat resistant surface that holds up under daily kitchen use.
• Top mount / drop-in installation seats the sink into a standard countertop cutout from above, making it compatible with laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface, and tile.
• Double equal bowl layout divides the 33-inch basin into two matched sides, keeping wash and rinse workflows cleanly separated.
• -PK1 kit includes stainless steel basket strainers, bottom grids, and Luster Pro oil, so the essentials arrive with the sink rather than as a separate order.
• 9-inch bowl depth handles full-size cookware and deep pots without crowding either side.
• Matte Black finish is a consistent quartz color rather than a coating, so chips and scratches do not expose a contrasting base.
Where This Sink Works Best
Top mount installation makes the QT-810 a practical choice in two situations where an undermount sink is not an option. First, a retrofit into an existing laminate counter: the rim covers the cut edge cleanly, so there is no exposed substrate and no countertop replacement required. Second, a new build on a budget where laminate is the countertop material and the project does not call for a seamless integrated installation. Both scenarios get a full-depth, full-width double basin without sacrificing performance. The equal bowl split also suits kitchens where two people regularly share the sink, with each side holding enough volume to work independently.
Quartz Composite in a Matte Black Finish
Karran's quartz composite formula combines 80% natural quartz crystals with 20% high-performance acrylic resin. The result is a dense, non-metallic surface that resists the scratches that accumulate from pots, utensils, and abrasive sponges, holds up against common food stains, and handles heat from a hot pan set briefly in the bowl. Because the Black color runs through the quartz material rather than sitting on top as a coating, the appearance stays consistent over time. The included Luster Pro oil supports routine maintenance and keeps the finish looking its best. For daily cleaning, non-abrasive cleansers are appropriate; avoid harsh abrasives that can dull the surface over time.
A Practical Fit for Kitchens, Shops, and Renovation Projects
Cabinet shops and custom builders specifying sinks for client kitchens will find the QT-810 a dependable all-counter option that does not require a countertop upgrade to install. Homeowners renovating an existing kitchen can drop it directly into a new cutout in their existing counter, with the rim covering the cut line. Designers working with darker palettes will appreciate that the Black quartz finish coordinates without demanding a specific countertop or hardware family. The kit format reduces the back-and-forth of sourcing strainers and grids separately, which matters when a project timeline is tight.
Will this sink work with a laminate countertop?
Yes. Top mount installation places the sink rim on top of the counter surface, so the cutout edge is hidden beneath the rim regardless of countertop material. Laminate, quartz, granite, tile, and solid surface are all compatible with this mounting method.
What does the PK1 kit include?
The -PK1 pack ships with stainless steel basket strainers, bottom grids, and Luster Pro oil. The drain assembly and faucet are sold separately and mount through the countertop, since the QT top mount series does not include a faucet deck.
Is the Black finish a coating or does it go through the material?
The Black color is integral to the quartz composite material, not a surface coating. Minor surface wear does not expose a contrasting color underneath, which is one of the practical advantages of a quartz composite sink over painted or coated finishes.
Can I connect a garbage disposal to one of the bowls?
Each bowl has its own drain opening, and a disposal flange can be fitted to one side in place of a basket strainer. Confirm the specific disposal flange model is compatible with the drain opening size before ordering.
A Sink That Gets the Job Done From Day One
The QT-810 in Black arrives as a complete kit with the hardware needed to put both bowls into immediate service, saving the extra sourcing step that bare-sink SKUs require. Whether it is going into a kitchen renovation or a shop's utility station, the 33-inch double equal bowl layout and quartz composite durability make it a straightforward choice that holds up over time.
