doublebowl

A doublebowl, also known as a split sink or twin sink, is a type of kitchen or bathroom sink that features two distinct basins. These basins are typically separated by a central divider, which can be of varying heights or widths. The two bowls can be of equal size, or one may be larger than the other, offering flexibility for different tasks.

Doublebowls are popular for their versatility. In a kitchen, one basin can be used for washing dishes while the other is used for rinsing, food preparation, or soaking. This separation can improve workflow and efficiency. In bathrooms, a doublebowl allows two people to use the sink simultaneously, which can be a significant advantage in busy households.

The design of a doublebowl can vary widely. They can be installed as undermount sinks, where the edge of the sink is below the countertop, creating a seamless look. Drop-in or top-mount sinks, where the sink rim rests on the countertop, are also common. Materials used for doublebowls include stainless steel, porcelain, composite materials, and natural stone, each offering different aesthetic and durability characteristics. The plumbing for a doublebowl requires two drains, and sometimes two faucets, depending on the configuration.
