1.5 Bowl Kitchen Sinks

If there’s one thing we’ve noticed at Tap Warehouse in the past few years, it’s the skyrocketing popularity of the 1.5 bowl sink. For many, the second, smaller half-bowl is an addition that they could now not live without. The genius of a 1.5 bowl undermount sink is that when one of the sinks is in use, you still have another to use, and you get all of this without compromising on drainer size.

The half bowl is perfect for rinsing the suds off your freshly washed dishes so as not to dilute the hot water in the main bowl with cold water. It is also the ideal place to install an environmentally friendly waste disposal unit, something whose increase in popularity has coincided with the rise in the 1.5 bowl sink.

At Tap Warehouse, we stock 1.5 bowl kitchen sinks from some of the biggest brands in the kitchen business, including Rangemaster, Villeroy & Boch and Reginox. Our collection includes ceramic, granite and stainless steel 1.5 bowl sinks, and all come with long guarantees from the manufacturers. If you need help choosing the perfect 1.5 bowl sink for your kitchen, our kitchen advisor team is available via chat daily!

Minimum Water Pressure

Your water pressure depends on your home's water system. It’s important to consider water pressure when buying a new tap or shower. Buying a product with a minimum water pressure that’s too high for your home will result in poor performance.

- With a combi boiler you can usually expect between 1 and 2 bar

- With a gravity system (cold water tank in attic) you may have as little as 0.1 or 0.2 bar upstairs, and perhaps 0.5 bar downstairs

- With a high pressure unvented system (hot water cylinder, no cold water tank) you will generally have between 1 and 3 bar

You can install an item with a low minimum pressure rating on a high pressure system, but avoid installing an item with a high minimum rating on a low pressure system! Read our guide to water pressure to learn more.

This tells you how many holes there are on the sink to mount your kitchen tap.

For sinks with a reversible drainer (one that can be on the left or right) the pre-drilled or pre-scored tap holes will be on both sides of the sink.

For sinks with a handed drainer, the pre-drilled or pre-scored tap holes will only be on one side of the sink.
