Caroma Urbane II kitchen sinks
This range covers the kitchen side of Caroma's Urbane II collection. Urbane II is a broader Caroma range that also appears in bathroom applications such as showers, universal accessories and laundry tubs, but the products on this page are specifically kitchen sinks and matching kitchen accessories, not bathroom fixtures. If you have already chosen Urbane II tapware or accessories for a bathroom and are now sourcing a kitchen sink, this page will not overlap with those bathroom collections, it is the dedicated kitchen destination within the range.
Who this suits
These sinks suit kitchen renovations or new builds where a buyer wants the Urbane II design language to carry through from the bathroom into the kitchen, as well as straightforward kitchen sink replacements where design consistency with the rest of the house is not a factor.
Bowl configuration
The first decision is single bowl versus double bowl. A single bowl gives one uninterrupted basin, useful for washing large pots, trays or oven racks that would not fit in a divided sink. A double bowl splits the basin into two sections, which suits households that want to separate washing from rinsing or keep a drainer area free while the other side is in use. Check the bowl depth and overall footprint against your existing benchtop cutout or the cabinetry allowance if this is a new install, since swapping bowl configuration can change the cutout size required.
Mounting style
Kitchen sinks are generally installed either as an undermount, fixed beneath the benchtop for a seamless surface line, or as a topmount, which sits into a cutout with the rim visible above the benchtop. Undermount installation is more common with stone or solid benchtops and gives an easier wipe-down from the counter into the sink, while topmount can suit laminate benchtops where the cutout edge needs to be covered. Confirm which style a specific product in this range is designed for before ordering, since the two are not interchangeable without a different cutout.
Matching kitchen accessories
Because this collection spans both Kitchen Sinks and Kitchen Accessories, buyers can source items such as drainer trays, chopping boards or grid-style accessories designed to sit within or across the Urbane II sink footprint from the same range, rather than sourcing generic accessories that may not fit the bowl dimensions correctly. Matching the accessory to the specific sink model in this collection is the safest way to guarantee fit.
Material and everyday care
Kitchen sinks take more daily impact than bathroom basins, from pots and pans to knives and hot cookware, so it is worth checking the material finish of the specific model against how the kitchen will be used. A household that cooks heavily and handles cast iron or stainless cookware regularly should pay closer attention to scratch and impact resistance than a household using the kitchen mainly for light meal prep.
Before you order
- Confirm bowl configuration (single or double) against your benchtop cutout or cabinetry plan
- Confirm undermount or topmount fit for your benchtop material
- Check tap hole requirements against your chosen kitchen mixer
- Match any drainer tray or accessory to the specific sink model rather than assuming universal fit
- Keep this collection separate in your mind from the bathroom-focused Urbane II ranges if you are also ordering bathroom fixtures
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same Urbane II range used in bathrooms on this site
It is the same overall Urbane II design range, but this specific page covers kitchen sinks and kitchen accessories only. The bathroom-focused Urbane II showers, universal accessories, coloured sinks and accessories, and laundry tubs are separate collections on this site, so if you need a bathroom item you should look there instead.
How do I choose between a single bowl and a double bowl kitchen sink
A single bowl gives you one large continuous basin, which is useful if you regularly wash oversized pots, trays or oven racks. A double bowl splits the basin into two sections, which helps if you prefer to separate washing and rinsing or want to keep one side free as a draining area. Consider how you actually use your kitchen sink day to day before deciding.
Can I fit any Urbane II kitchen accessory to any sink in this range
Not necessarily. Accessories such as drainer trays or grid-style inserts are generally designed to match the footprint and bowl dimensions of a specific sink model, so you should check the accessory is listed as compatible with your exact sink before ordering, rather than assuming universal fit across the whole range.
Does it matter if my benchtop is undermount or topmount style
Yes. Undermount sinks are fixed beneath the benchtop for a flush, seamless line and typically suit stone or solid surface benchtops, while topmount sinks sit into a cutout with a visible rim, which can suit laminate benchtops needing the cutout edge covered. Confirm which style your chosen product is designed for before you finalise your benchtop cutout.
Will this sink hold up to daily kitchen use
Kitchen sinks face more frequent impact from pots, pans and cookware than a bathroom basin, so it is worth checking the finish details of the specific model against your household's cooking habits. If you handle heavy cookware often, prioritise checking the scratch and impact resistance information listed on the individual product.
