Ruvati Tirana 33" Drop-In Low Platform-Divide Zero Radius 60/40 Double Bowl 16 Gauge Topmount Kitchen Sink - RVH8059

Ruvati Tirana 33" Drop-In Low Platform-Divide Zero Radius 60/40 Double Bowl 16 Gauge Topmount Kitchen Sink - RVH8059

This Ruvati sink from the Tirana series features a unique platform divide – a 3″ wide textured divide that forms a platform on which you can sit those large pasta pots as you fill them with water. The platform divide is also recessed – it is 4 inches lower than the rim. The extra clearance is a blessing when you are washing those large pots and pans. This Tirana sink comes pre-drilled with two holes for faucet and soap dispenser installation. The sink comes in a standard 33-inch by 22-inch dimension, so it will retro-fit into existing cutouts from most old overmount sink. The sink features a thick solid 8 gauge rim all around that sits topmount on your countertop. The rest of the sink is constructed from 16 gauge stainless steel, one of the thickest steel available for residential kitchens.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean Regularly: Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and mild dish soap to clean the sink. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
• Dry After Use: Wipe the sink dry after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup, especially along the edges and around the divide.
• Avoid Abrasive Materials: Do not use steel wool, wire brushes, or abrasive cleaners that could damage the sink's surface or dull its finish.
• Prevent Scratches: Consider using a sink grid to protect the bottom of both bowls from scratches caused by heavy pots and pans.
• Remove Hard Water Stains: For stubborn water spots, use a mixture of vinegar and water (50/50) to clean the sink. Rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent staining.
• Polish Occasionally: Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or polish to maintain the sink’s luster and protect the surface from tarnishing.
• Rinse After Exposure to Acids: Immediately rinse the sink after exposure to acidic substances like vinegar, citrus, or tomato sauce to avoid potential discoloration.
• Avoid Standing Water: Do not let water or wet items sit in the sink for prolonged periods to prevent mineral buildup and staining, particularly around the divide.
• Handle Heavy Items Carefully: Gently place heavy cookware in the sink to avoid denting or damaging the zero-radius corners.
• Follow Manufacturer Care Instructions: Refer to Ruvati's guidelines for specific maintenance and care tips to ensure the longevity and beauty of your sink.
