BK-S3018 Thickened Nano Semi-Embedded Kitchen Sink 762×457×229mm SUS304 16 Gauge for Hotel Kitchen

What Is Semi-Embedded Installation

The Three Installation Positions and When Each Applies

Kitchen sinks install at three positions relative to the countertop:

The BK-S3018 semi-embedded position gives the visual result of a clean rim line at counter height — the design vocabulary of an undermount without requiring the bench fabrication precision of a true flush mount. For solid surface benchtops (corian, hi-macs, or concrete) where the material can be routed to accept the sink but a flush fit is difficult to achieve, semi-embedded is the practical installation choice.

Nano Coating: Surface Performance in High-Use Environments

What the Coating Actually Does

The nano coating applied to the BK-S3018 is a ceramic-polymer surface treatment that fills microscopic imperfections in the stainless steel surface. This creates:

• A hydrophobic surface that repels water and reduces water spot accumulation

• Enhanced scratch resistance compared to standard brushed stainless

• Easier cleaning in commercial kitchen environments

For the visible rim of a semi-embedded sink — which is in the kitchen’s primary sight line — the nano coating maintains a cleaner appearance between deep cleans. This is particularly valued in hotel kitchens and high-end residential installations where the kitchen’s appearance reflects the project’s quality standard.

The coating is applied during manufacturing and becomes part of the stainless steel surface — it does not peel or flake over time.

30×18 Inch: The Large Single Bowl Commercial Format

Commercial Dimensions for High-Volume Use

At 762×457mm with a 229mm (9 inch) depth, the BK-S3018 is a substantial single bowl sink — large enough to handle the demands of hotel kitchen service and commercial catering without the full footprint of the largest commercial formats.

The 30×18 inch (approximately 760×460mm) dimension aligns with the standard international module for commercial kitchen equipment — meaning it fits standard cabinet modules and commercial kitchen design grids without custom fabrication.

The 16-gauge (1.5mm) thickness maintains geometry under the load of a full sink and the impact of heavy commercial cookware.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between semi-embedded and undermount?
A: Undermount sinks are mounted completely below the countertop surface. Semi-embedded sinks sit with the rim flush to or slightly above the countertop surface — creating a visible rim line. Semi-embedded is chosen when the bench material is not suited to the fabrication precision required for undermount, or when the raised rim serves a practical function.

Q: What bench materials suit semi-embedded installation?
A: Semi-embedded installation is particularly suited to solid surface materials (Corian, Hi-Macs, Wilsonart), concrete, and some engineered stone types where the material can be routed to accept the sink. Confirm bench material compatibility with your fabricator.

Q: What does the nano coating do?
A: The nano coating fills microscopic surface imperfections, creating a hydrophobic surface that repels water, reduces scratching, and is easier to clean. It maintains the appearance of the visible rim and bowl in high-use environments.

Q: Is 229mm depth appropriate for commercial use?
A: Yes — 229mm (9 inch) is the standard commercial kitchen bowl depth, providing sufficient volume for hotel kitchen and catering use.

Q: What certifications are available?
A: Watermark (Australia) and CUPC (North America) certifications are available. Confirm requirement at inquiry stage.

Material & Craftsmanship

Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel

Made from 16-gauge 304/316 stainless steel, the sink boasts exceptional thickness and strength. This heavy-duty material resists dents, scratches, and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting durability even in busy kitchens. The anti-corrosion, anti-rust properties make it ideal for daily use with water, soap, and food acids.

Innovative Surface & Design

The sink features a nano surface treatment that enhances scratch and wear resistance, keeping the surface looking new for years. The X-type water guide design ensures fast drainage, preventing standing water and reducing the risk of bacterial growth. The offset drain design maximizes cabinet space underneath, providing extra storage for plumbing and garbage disposal units.

Noise Reduction & Moisture Protection

Equipped with a thickened silencing cushion and anti-condensation coating, the sink minimizes noise during use, creating a quieter kitchen environment. The anti-condensation coating protects cabinets from moisture damage, extending their lifespan and keeping the area under the sink dry.

Application Scenarios

Residential Kitchens

Perfect for modern homes, the sink fits seamlessly into various kitchen styles—from contemporary to traditional. Its single-bowl design is ideal for small to medium-sized kitchens, while the workstation ledge adds versatility for meal prep, cleaning, and drying.

Commercial Kitchens

Suitable for restaurants, cafes, and catering businesses, the sink’s heavy-duty construction and large tank space meet the demands of busy commercial environments. Its easy-to-clean surface and durable finish make it a practical choice for high-volume use.

Renovation Projects

Ideal for kitchen renovations, the sink offers multiple installation options—undermount, topmount, and flushmount—allowing it to adapt to different countertop materials and design preferences. It adds value to homes and commercial spaces with its functional and stylish design.

Customization Services

We offer flexible customization to suit your specific kitchen needs. Choose from a range of finishes, including brushed steel, brushed gold, brushed rose gold, and brushed gunmetal, to match your kitchen’s decor.

FAQ

What installation methods are available for the sink?

The sink supports three installation types—undermount, topmount, and flushmount. Undermount creates a seamless transition from countertop to sink, topmount is easy to install on existing countertops, and flushmount offers a sleek, integrated look. Choose the method that best fits your countertop material and design goals.

Is the sink resistant to scratches and stains?

Yes. The nano surface treatment and 16-gauge stainless steel construction make the sink highly scratch and stain-resistant. Daily use, including contact with cookware and cleaning products, won’t mar the surface—simply wipe clean to maintain its appearance.

Can the drain position be customized?

Absolutely. The sink features an offset drain design that can be installed on either the left or right side. This flexibility allows you to optimize cabinet space and align the drain with your existing plumbing layout.
