Gray Quartz Top Mount Sink for a Clean, Coordinated Kitchen
The Karran QT820GR-PK1 is a 25 by 22 by 9 inch single bowl quartz composite kitchen sink in Gray, designed for top mount installation. It ships as a complete kit with the accessories needed to put it to work, making it a practical choice for kitchen builds and renovations where a drop-in installation path keeps the countertop options open.
Key Features
• Quartz composite construction — 80% natural quartz crystals and 20% acrylic resin deliver a bowl that resists scratches, stains, chips, and heat in everyday kitchen use.
• Top mount installation — drops into a countertop cutout from above, compatible with laminate, solid surface, stone, and other countertop materials without special fabrication methods.
• Single bowl layout — 25 by 22 inch footprint with a 9 inch deep basin gives uninterrupted workspace for washing large pots, cutting boards, and sheet pans.
• Gray finish — a neutral mid-tone that coordinates with white, charcoal, and wood-tone cabinetry without locking a kitchen into one color direction.
• -PK1 kit — includes stainless steel basket strainer, bottom grid, and Luster Pro oil so the sink is ready to install and care for from day one.
Where This Sink Fits the Job
A 25 inch top mount footprint covers a wide range of cabinet configurations. Standard 30 inch sink base cabinets accommodate this sink comfortably, and the drop-in method suits retrofits into existing countertops where the rim covers the cut edge. That makes this sink a natural fit for countertop replacement projects where the installer wants to reuse an existing cabinet run or avoid the more involved undermount prep. The 9 inch bowl depth handles full stockpots and half-sheet pans without crowding the work area, and the single bowl keeps the full interior clear with no divider to work around. Cabinet shops staging display kitchens and contractors sourcing for a spec remodel will find the kit format useful — the basket strainer and bottom grid arrive in the same box, eliminating a separate order for functional basics.
Material and Color at a Glance
Quartz composite sinks occupy a different performance tier than stainless or acrylic because the quartz content gives the surface real hardness. This bowl's 80% quartz makeup makes it highly scratch and chip resistant, which matters in a primary kitchen sink that sees knives, cast iron, and ceramic cookware daily. The surface is also heat and stain resistant, so the occasional hot pan set down for a moment or a splash of red wine does not become a lasting mark. The Gray color runs through the material rather than sitting on top of it as a coating, so minor surface contact does not expose a different color underneath. Luster Pro oil, included in the kit, keeps the finish looking its best over time and helps repel water spots between cleanings.
Right for Designers, Renovators, and Working Shops
Designers specifying for a transitional or contemporary kitchen will find Gray a more versatile call than stark white or matte black — it reads as stone-adjacent without the care demands of actual stone. Homeowners replacing an older drop-in sink can swap this one into the existing cutout with minimal countertop work. Cabinet shops producing kitchens at volume benefit from a single SKU that ships with functional accessories already resolved, keeping the job moving without hunting down a separate strainer order. The top mount path also keeps this sink accessible to skilled DIY installers who are comfortable making a countertop cutout but are not set up for a full undermount installation.
Can this sink install in a laminate countertop?
Yes. Top mount installation places the sink's rim on top of the countertop surface, so the cut edge is covered. That makes it fully compatible with laminate without any special edge treatment or seam adhesive.
What does the -PK1 kit include?
The kit ships with a stainless steel basket strainer, a bottom grid sized for the bowl, and Luster Pro oil for ongoing sink care. A faucet is not included and mounts through the countertop behind the sink.
Does quartz composite require any special cleaning products?
Routine cleaning works fine with mild dish soap and warm water. The included Luster Pro oil is the manufacturer's recommended maintenance product for keeping the surface looking consistent. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners, which can dull the finish over time.
Will the Gray color match other Karran quartz products?
Karran's Gray (GR) is a consistent color code across the quartz line, so grids, strainers, and accessories ordered in the same color family will coordinate. For exact finish matching across different product types, confirm the color code at time of order.
Is there a minimum cabinet size for this sink?
The sink's 25 inch overall width is sized to fit a standard 30 inch sink base cabinet. Confirm the actual cutout dimensions against the template or the sink's underside dimensions before cutting.
A Sink That Arrives Ready to Install
The QT820GR-PK1 combines a durable quartz composite bowl, a gray finish that works across cabinet styles, and a drop-in installation path that fits the widest range of countertop materials — all in one kit that includes the functional accessories to complete the job without a separate order run.
