I believe so; I measured the inside length of my sink and it was 31". Do you already have the sink cut out? One thing about this sink: I like it, and the bottom grids are great, but the basket strainers are chrome, not stainless steel, and they rust; if you have a garbage disposal, you only need one basket strainer, which costs around $10.
I put my 30 in a 32 cabinet, but that required some construction experience above and beyond the average DIY skill set.
I'm not going to answer your question directly. My family had a porcelain sink in our home when I was growing up in France. It's a pain to have because it chips easily if you're not careful, and it leaves black streaks on pots and pans when you clean them. Stainless steel is far superior to aluminum and is far easier to clean. Please accept my apologies for bothering you. I just wanted to share my positive experience with porcelain sinks!
15" is a quick measurement. For a more accurate measurement and template, consult the installation pdf.
Selected User Reviews For Kraus KBU32 Premier Kitchen Sink Double Bowl, Stainless Steel
While I appreciate the low center wall, which helps to prevent overflow, I am dissatisfied with the brushed finish on this sink. The metal piece that comes with the product and is supposed to go into the sink for an even floor actually RUINS!! This was not an issue with the previous model. It was extremely long-lasting, and four years later, it still looked great! It didn't have the same brushed finish as this one, and the dividing wall was a little higher. Despite the fact that I've only had this product for a few months, it already has rust stains and scratches on the bottom! I was dissatisfied because I had recently installed a new countertop.
I don't think this was a good purchase because the baskets and strainers are rusted all over the edges! So far, there hasn't been any evidence of rust on the sink. I've worked in the plumbing supply industry for a long time and have never heard of basket strainers rusting in the sink.
Larger dishes are much easier to wash when the center divide is low. This sink is similar to the black granite composite sinks in terms of weight, but it is easier to clean. It's quiet because of the insulation, and there's no clanking of dishes when it hits the sink. In the last year, I've installed several stainless sinks, and this one is by far the most durable for the price; a few others were flimsy, and you could see the deformation and hear it pop back and forth when you pressed on the sink wall. There aren't any issues here. To keep everything off the floor, the metal dish racks are a nice touch. There were no issues with rust, and the installation went without a hitch. It also appears to be quite nice.
It appears to be a dramatic scene. Every day, I prepare food and bake. Can handle everything from cookie sheets to large pots and everything in between. It's easy to clean and has an arching eye. We like it a lot.
This sink has a high-end appearance and feel to it. There is no tinny sound, which is common with 18 gauge stainless sinks. Installed in my new granite, it looks stunning.
I needed a sink that could be used in a variety of ways, and this one fits the bill. Sections that are large and equal - a good depth - It is simple to clean. Because the stoppers only need to be pushed to lock, you can leave them in if you want! The lower middle bar provides additional space for larger pans or if additional space is required. I can keep clean dishes on the right while washing and rinsing! My previous job offered a generous 60/40 split, which I held for 20 years! Stainless steel is unrivaled in terms of durability. This sink has a brushed stainless steel finish. So scratching isn't a problem for me. It also includes two excellent sink protectors. I only use one and keep a strainer on the right side of the stove.
Kraus is one of my favorite musicians. This is an unusual sink. Divider with a low height. It is pleasing to our eyes. There is less water sitting at the sink/countertop's edge. It has a lot of depth. It was extremely quiet. The racks are what we use. This was used in our renovation, and it turned out beautifully.
Larger pots can be accommodated by the low rise, but most pots can be accommodated by each bowl (14" wide). So far, I'm really enjoying it. Some people complain about blemishes and scratches on their skin. Only Bar Keeper's Friend (a stainless steel powder) is required to remove them, and it will be as good as new. Use it if you want to.
