Karran Profile Series Sink For Retrofit and New-Build Kitchens
The Karran Profile PT35N is an 18-gauge stainless steel top mount kitchen sink with a symmetrical double-bowl layout, designed for above-counter installation in any countertop material. At 33 by 22 by 7-1/2 inches overall, it fits standard 36-inch sink base cabinets and drops into new cuts or existing openings without countertop replacement.
Key Features
• 18-gauge stainless steel construction delivers a balance of durability and workable weight suited to everyday kitchen workloads.
• Double equal bowl configuration divides the sink evenly, supporting simultaneous wash-and-rinse or wash-and-soak workflows.
• Top mount installation drops the sink into a cutout from above, with the rim resting on the counter surface and clips securing it from below.
• 33 x 22 x 7-1/2 inch overall dimensions fit a standard 36-inch base cabinet and provide meaningful bowl depth for pots and larger cookware.
• Brushed satin finish blends with a wide range of kitchen hardware and conceals everyday water spots and light surface marks.
• Sold as a box of 40 makes this SKU practical for multi-unit residential projects, cabinet shops, and contractors outfitting multiple kitchens from a single order.
Where This Sink Fits the Job
Top mount installation is the straightforward path for retrofits. The rim drops over the cutout edge, covers any imperfections in the counter cut, and clamps tight from below with the supplied clips — no stone fabrication, no specialized bevel-bit steps, and no adhesive bonding to the countertop substrate. That makes this sink a natural choice when working with laminate, tile, or existing stone where the countertop is staying in place. For new builds where the countertop is still being cut, the top mount method works equally well across all countertop material types.
The equal double-bowl layout suits households and commercial multi-unit kitchens where two separate basins serve two separate tasks: one side for washing, the other for rinsing, draining, or holding produce. Neither bowl has to serve double duty, which matters in a kitchen that sees steady use through a long day.
Construction and Finish
Profile Series PT35N sinks are fabricated from 18-gauge stainless steel with a brushed satin interior and exterior finish. The gauge provides solid rigidity without the bulk of heavier commercial-grade material, and the brushed surface resists showing fine scratches from routine cleaning and cookware contact. Unlike seamless-series stainless models that require adhesive bonding at the countertop edge, this top mount sink uses a conventional rim-and-clip installation that any experienced installer can complete without specialty tooling.
Right For Multi-Unit and Volume Applications
Cabinet shops and contractors outfitting apartment buildings, townhome developments, or rental units will find the box quantity practical. Each unit in the box is the same model, the same finish, and the same dimensions, so one order covers a full building floor without sourcing from multiple suppliers or managing mismatched specs. The top mount installation method is consistent and repeatable across crews and countertop materials, which helps keep schedules on track across a project with many identical kitchens.
This sink is also a solid specification for designers and homeowners planning a kitchen refresh where the existing countertop is staying in place. Because the rim covers the cutout perimeter, the countertop does not need a perfect factory edge to produce a clean result.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this sink require any countertop modification to install?
It requires a cutout in the countertop — trace the sink perimeter, mark a cut line inside that trace, drill a starter hole, and complete the cut with a jigsaw on laminate or a router on harder surfaces. The rim drops over the finished cutout and clips secure it from below. No adhesive bonding or bevel-bit trimming is needed.
What countertop materials work with this installation method?
Top mount installation is compatible with all countertop material types, including laminate, granite, quartz, solid surface, and tile. The rim rests on top of the counter surface, so the countertop edge does not need to be finished for the sink to seal correctly.
Is a drain or strainer included with each sink?
Drain assemblies and basket strainers are not included with this bare-sink SKU and are sold separately. Each bowl has a standard 3-1/2 inch drain opening that accepts a conventional kitchen basket strainer.
How does 18-gauge stainless compare to heavier gauges?
Gauge measures thickness — the lower the number, the thicker the steel. At 18 gauge, this sink offers solid construction for residential and light-commercial use. Karran's Elite and Select Series step up to 16 gauge for a thicker, heavier bowl.
Is this the same sink sold individually, or is the box quantity the only option?
This SKU is sold as a box of 40. If you need a single unit or a smaller quantity, check the individual-unit listing for the same model.
A Reliable Standard For Every Kitchen on the Schedule
The Profile PT35N delivers a repeatable, contractor-friendly installation in a proven double-bowl format — backed by box-quantity availability that keeps multi-unit projects moving without back-ordering individual units mid-job.
