6. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: What makes this sink "extended" compared to standard single-compartment sinks?

A1: This sink features an extended length (80cm-120cm standard, customizable up to 150cm), which is significantly longer than standard single-compartment sinks (typically 50cm-70cm). This extra length is designed to accommodate oversized cookware, baking sheets, and catering trays that cannot fit in standard sinks.

Q3: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel options?

A4: Yes, most models are compatible with standard commercial garbage disposals. The oversized 2-inch drain opening is designed to fit most disposal units, and we provide compatible drain assemblies for easy installation.

Q5: How do I clean and maintain the extended sink?

A5: For daily cleaning, wipe the compartment and frame with a damp cloth and mild kitchen detergent, then dry immediately to prevent water spots. Remove and clean the strainer basket regularly to prevent clogs from large debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach) that can damage the stainless steel finish.

Q6: Does the sink come with an overflow drain?

A6: An overflow drain is an optional feature. It helps prevent water spillage if the sink is filled too full, making it ideal for busy kitchens where staff may be multitasking. Contact us to request an overflow drain with your sink.

Q7: What installation options are available?

A7: The sink is available in three installation types: drop-in (top-mount) for easy retrofitting of existing countertops, undermount for a seamless, easy-to-clean countertop transition, and free-standing (with legs) for spaces without existing countertops. All installation hardware is included.

Q8: What is the warranty for this sink?

A8: We provide a 1-2 year warranty covering manufacturing defects (e.g., rust, corrosion, compartment warping, or drain assembly issues). Normal wear and tear, misuse, or damage from harsh chemicals/abuse are not covered under the warranty.
