Gunmetal Gray Stainless Steel Sink for a Bold Vanity Statement
The Karran Cinox CCU500GG is a square stainless steel vessel-collection undermount bathroom sink finished in Gunmetal Gray, designed for vanity installations where a darker, design-forward finish sets the tone for the entire room. Its clean geometric profile and uniform square bowl make it a natural fit for contemporary and industrial-influenced bath spaces.
Key Features
• Gunmetal Gray finish delivers a dark, muted tone that coordinates with matte black and dark-metal fixture palettes.
• Brushed stainless steel construction provides the durability and corrosion-resistant properties of the Cinox collection in a vanity-sized format.
• Square bowl geometry maximizes usable basin area within the 15-3/4 inch footprint and reinforces a clean, architectural look.
• Undermount installation keeps the vanity surface uninterrupted, with no visible rim above the countertop.
• No faucet holes on the bowl means the faucet and any accessories mount through the vanity top, giving you full flexibility over spacing and configuration.
Where This Sink Fits the Design
The Gunmetal Gray finish positions this sink as an intentional design choice rather than a neutral backdrop. It works especially well in vanities paired with dark hardware finishes — oil-rubbed bronze, matte black, or coordinating gunmetal faucets — and in spaces where the countertop and fixture palette lean moody and deliberate. The square bowl suits wall-to-wall tile and rectangular vanity tops where symmetry is part of the aesthetic. For fabricators and contractors finishing a high-specification bath remodel, this is the kind of sink that ties a finish schedule together.
Stainless Steel in a Vanity Format
Stainless steel in a bathroom sink is less common than vitreous china or acrylic, and the Cinox collection leans into that distinction. The brushed finish manages water spots better than polished stainless and holds up against the daily cleaning products found in a bath environment. The Gunmetal Gray colorway is achieved through the finish process applied to the stainless, giving it a consistent appearance across the bowl interior and exterior. Because the bowl is stainless, it stays nonporous and will not harbor bacteria in the basin surface. The drain assembly is not included and is sold separately — plan for a 1-3/4 inch lavatory drain to match.
Who Orders This Sink
Interior designers specifying a moody, high-contrast bath will find the Gunmetal Gray finish does the color-coordination work for the whole fixture package. Cabinet shops and contractors installing vanities in high-end residential projects use the Cinox line when the client's finish schedule calls for something beyond chrome and white. Homeowners renovating a primary or guest bath who want a fixture that reads as a deliberate upgrade — not just a replacement — will appreciate that the finish is consistent with what they see in hospitality and boutique hotel bathrooms. The undermount installation requires a solid countertop material, so this sink works best where stone, quartz, or solid surface is already in the plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Gunmetal Gray finish match Karran's Gunmetal Gray faucets?
Karran uses Gunmetal Gray as a catalog finish name across its sink and faucet lines, so pairing within the Karran family gives you the closest finish coordination. As with any multi-piece installation, view physical samples before finalizing, since finish appearance can vary between sink and faucet materials.
What countertop materials work with this undermount sink?
Undermount installation works best with solid countertop materials — stone, quartz composite, and solid surface — where the cut edge can be finished and the sink clips or adhesive bond directly to the underside. Laminate is generally not recommended for undermount installs unless a seamless-capable series is used, and the Cinox line is not a seamless series.
Is a drain included with this sink?
No. The drain assembly is sold separately. Plan for a standard 1-3/4 inch lavatory drain sized for an undermount vanity bowl.
Where does the faucet mount?
The bowl has no faucet holes, so the faucet mounts through the vanity countertop. This gives you control over single-hole, widespread, or wall-mount configurations based on your vanity top and plumbing layout.
Can this sink be used in a commercial bathroom?
The Cinox stainless steel construction suits demanding environments, but ADA compliance depends on installation height and configuration rather than the sink alone. Consult your local plumbing and accessibility codes for commercial project requirements.
A Finish That Does the Work
When the fixture schedule calls for something darker and more deliberate than the standard chrome-and-white combination, the Cinox in Gunmetal Gray delivers a bathroom sink that anchors the vanity design and holds its finish through daily use.
