Black Quartz Top Mount Sink for a Bold, Hardworking Kitchen
The Karran QT-812 is a large single bowl quartz composite top mount sink finished in Black, sized at 33 by 22 by 9 inches and designed for drop-in installation in virtually any countertop material. Sold as a complete kit, it arrives ready for installation with the components needed to get the sink into service.
Key Features
• Quartz composite construction: 80% natural quartz crystals and 20% acrylic resin deliver a bowl that resists scratches, stains, chips, and heat in daily kitchen use.
• Top mount installation: The self-rimming design drops into a standard countertop cutout and works with laminate, granite, solid surface, quartz, and tile.
• Large single bowl: One uninterrupted 33 by 22 inch basin gives you the full interior for washing large cookware, sheet pans, and oversized stock pots.
• Black finish: The deep, matte Black color is an integral part of the quartz composite, so it runs through the material rather than sitting on the surface.
• Kit includes basket strainer, bottom grid, and Luster Pro oil: The -PK1 pack resolves the first post-install accessories question before it becomes a delay.
Where This Sink Earns Its Keep
A 33 inch single bowl is the natural choice when the goal is maximum unobstructed workspace. Without a divider to work around, the full basin floor is available for soaking a large roasting pan flat, hand-washing a wok, or staging produce before prep. It suits kitchens where a dishwasher handles most of the load and the sink is reserved for the jobs a machine cannot do. Black is a practical finish choice here too: the color holds up against the mineral deposits and food residue that show immediately on lighter sinks, and daily work does not visibly degrade the appearance over time.
The top mount path also makes this sink realistic for projects with existing countertops. Because the rim drops into the cutout and covers the cut edge, no edge finishing is required, and the install does not require specialized solid surface or stone fabrication skill. Renovation jobs that need a weekend turnaround — swapping an old drop-in for a new one — follow a straightforward cut-and-clip sequence.
Material and Durability
The quartz composite body is molded from 80% natural quartz crystals bound in acrylic resin, which is how the material achieves scratch, stain, chip, and heat resistance without a separate surface coating. Because the Black color runs through the composite rather than being applied to it, chips and scuffs at the rim do not expose a different color underneath. The non-porous surface does not harbor bacteria the way a porous stone or grout-lined basin can. Standard cleaning with mild soap and water is all routine maintenance requires.
Who This Sink Is For
Cabinet shops and countertop fabricators specifying sinks for kitchen remodels will find the top mount installation straightforward across the material types their clients already have in place. Homeowners tackling a renovation without a full countertop replacement can drop this sink into an existing cutout if the rough dimensions align. Designers specifying a black kitchen where the sink needs to hold its own against matte black hardware and dark cabinetry will find the quartz composite color consistent and cohesive rather than a painted-on approximation. Contractors who need to deliver a finished, functional kitchen and not come back for a strainer or a grid will appreciate that the kit resolves those items at the point of order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the rim cover the countertop cut edge on a top mount installation?
Yes. The self-rimming perimeter sits on top of the countertop surface and covers the full cut edge, which is why this install works well for laminate where an exposed edge would need finishing.
Is the Black color a surface coating or does it go through the material?
The color is integral to the quartz composite, not a painted or applied finish. The same Black runs through the body, so the sink does not show a contrasting color at chips or worn edges.
What does the kit include?
The -PK1 kit ships with a stainless steel basket strainer, a bottom grid, and Luster Pro oil. The sink itself, strainer, grid, and care product arrive together.
Does this sink require a template, and is one included?
A paper template for marking the cutout is the standard approach for top mount installs. Check the included documentation for template details; if a template is not included, the actual sink can be traced directly onto the countertop before cutting.
Can a garbage disposal be added?
A single bowl quartz composite sink can work with a disposal, but compatibility depends on the drain opening and the disposal's mounting assembly. Confirm fitting requirements with the disposal manufacturer before purchase.
A Sink That Works as Hard as the Kitchen Around It
The QT-812 in Black delivers a full 33 inch basin in a durable quartz composite that does not ask much in return — the top mount install is direct, the color holds, and the kit format means the first-use accessories are already handled.
