Commercial sinks are specifically designed for use in high-volume, heavy-duty settings such as restaurants, hotels, and food service facilities. They are built to withstand the rigours of daily use and provide ample space for dishwashing.

For instance, once, we had an inquiry for a sink bench of exactly 1150mm. The customer had been quoted a high price to have this custom fabricated, and we were able to explain to the customer that if he just slightly rearranges some other appliances, a 1200mm sink bench would fit perfectly and would only be a fraction of the cost!
