Warm Tone, Compact Footprint, Ready to Drop In
The Karran QT-820 is a quartz composite top mount kitchen sink in Bisque, sized at 25 by 22 by 9 inches for sink base cabinets where a smaller, warmer-toned bowl is the right call. It drops into the existing cutout from above and arrives as a -PK1 kit, so the strainers, bottom grid, and care oil are already in the box.
Key Features
• Quartz composite construction combines 80% natural quartz crystals and 20% acrylic resin for a bowl that resists scratches, stains, chips, and heat in everyday kitchen use.
• Top mount installation seats the visible perimeter rim in the countertop cutout and clamps tight from below, making it compatible with laminate, solid surface, stone, and other countertop materials.
• Single bowl configuration gives the full interior to one uninterrupted basin, well suited to meal prep and washing larger cookware.
• Bisque finish is a warm off-white that coordinates with cream and almond cabinetry palettes without the stark contrast of bright white.
• -PK1 kit includes a stainless steel basket strainer, bottom grid, and Luster Pro oil, so installation hardware and routine care supplies arrive with the sink.
Where This Sink Fits the Job
A 25 by 22 inch top mount bowl fits comfortably in kitchens where counter real estate or cabinet width makes a larger format impractical, including galley layouts, secondary kitchen stations, and renovation retrofits where the existing sink base is already established. Because the rim sits on top of the counter and covers the cut edge, top mount installation works on laminate countertops without edge finishing, which makes this a natural choice for cabinet shops outfitting budget-conscious kitchen packages or for contractors replacing a sink in place. The drop-in method also simplifies sequencing on a job site: the countertop goes in first, the cutout gets made, and the sink drops in last without additional countertop work.
Material and Color Details
Quartz composite handles the daily abuse of a kitchen sink better than most materials in its price range. The 80% quartz content resists surface scratching from utensils and abrasive scrubbing, while the acrylic resin binder keeps the bowl from chipping at the rim or showing impact marks. Heat resistance means a wet pan from the stove is not a concern under normal use. Bisque is one of Karran's standard quartz color offerings, a muted warm tone that reads closer to cream than white under most kitchen lighting. It is a solid color through the material, so minor surface scuffs do not expose a different color underneath.
Right Fit for Designers, Contractors, and Homeowners
Cabinet designers specifying a kitchen with warm-toned cabinetry, hardware, or appliances will find Bisque a more cohesive choice than a stark white bowl. Contractors working retrofit jobs appreciate the forgiving top mount method, where the rim hides minor imperfections in the cutout edge and no countertop edge finishing is required after the sink is in. Homeowners replacing an existing drop-in sink in a Bisque or almond kitchen get a material upgrade from a standard steel or acrylic bowl without repainting or respecifying surrounding finishes. The included grid and strainer mean the first day of use is covered without a separate accessory order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bisque color match other Karran quartz products in the same finish?
Bisque (BI) is a standard color across several Karran quartz series. Because quartz composite color runs through the material, the tone is consistent within the line, but exact match across different product families or manufacturing batches is never guaranteed. Request samples when finish coordination is critical.
What countertop materials does top mount installation work with?
Top mount installation is compatible with laminate, solid surface, stone, quartz surfacing, and other common countertop materials. The rim sits on top of and seals to the counter surface, so the material below the rim does not need edge finishing after the cutout is made.
Is a template included for making the cutout?
The -PK1 kit includes the basket strainer, bottom grid, and Luster Pro oil. A paper cutout template is not listed as included in the kit. Trace the sink perimeter directly onto the countertop, mark the cut line 1/2 inch inside, drill a starter hole, and cut with a jigsaw for laminate surfaces.
Does the drain ship with the sink, or is it sold separately?
The -PK1 kit includes a stainless steel basket strainer, which serves as the drain component for the bowl. Confirm the strainer diameter is compatible with your plumbing rough-in before installation.
Can a garbage disposal be installed with this sink?
The source data does not confirm disposal compatibility for this model. A single-bowl quartz sink with a standard drain opening is typically compatible, but verify the bowl depth and drain fitting against your disposal unit before ordering.
