Sink Benches & Sinks

Maximise hygiene and optimise workflow with our premium commercial sink benches, engineered to meet the demands of high-volume kitchens. Whether you're outfitting a new restaurant or upgrading a prep area, our stainless steel sink benches offer durability, corrosion resistance, and thoughtful configurations to streamline washing, rinsing, and prep workflows.

More About Sink Benches

When selecting the right sink bench for your commercial kitchen, it’s critical to match the unit with your operation's capacity and code compliance needs. Sink benches typically feature single, double, or triple bowl configurations with options for integrated drainboards, undershelves, splashbacks, and pre-rinse assemblies. Constructed from 304 or 430 grade stainless steel, commercial models are ideal for heavy washdown cycles and high-volume dish cycles.

Installation Requirements: Ensure proximity to water, drainage, and where applicable, grease traps. Some models feature adjustable feet for levelling, important on uneven commercial floors. Bench legs are available in square tube or galvanised steel for added durability.

Cleaning & Maintenance: Daily sanitation is easy with rounded bowl corners, crevice-free welds, and stainless steel finishes. Avoid harsh abrasives; instead, use pH-neutral cleaners to preserve metal finish and prevent corrosion or spotting in high-moisture environments.

Sizing Guide: For most commercial kitchens, 1200mm to 2100mm wide sink benches meet compliance, allowing for easy dual-operator usage. Pitched drainboards and anti-drip edges help maintain OH&S standards, preventing standing water and potential slips.

Why Invest: Compared to domestic or DIY benches, commercial sink benches are ergonomically designed for fast throughput, certified to meet commercial hygiene standards (e.g., HACCP), and built for seamless integration with dishwashing or prep stations.

Sink Benches & Sinks FAQs

What are the differences between single, double, and triple bowl sink benches?

Single bowl sink benches are ideal for compact spaces and light-duty rinsing, while double bowl variations allow for a dedicated wash and rinse setup. Triple bowl configurations are best suited for high-volume operations, often fulfilling health regulation requirements for a wash, rinse, and sanitize compartment per HACCP guidelines.

Do commercial sink benches require specific plumbing or drainage setup?

Yes, commercial sink benches require dedicated water inlets, appropriate drainage connections, and in some cases grease traps depending on local council compliance. Some models also require a backflow prevention device. Always verify water pressure and flow rate compatibility, especially for pre-rinse mounted units.

How can I maintain a stainless steel sink bench to prevent corrosion and spotting?

Routine maintenance includes wiping down the bench with warm, soapy water after each shift, avoiding chlorides or harsh acids. Use microfiber cloths for drying and apply stainless steel polish weekly to restore shine and add a light protective layer. Ensure consistent ventilation around the sink area to minimise moisture build-up.

What is the load or capacity a typical sink bench can handle?

Most commercial sink benches can support static loads between 150 to 300kg, depending on the build and undershelf configuration. Bowls are typically sized to accommodate 1/1 or 2/1 GN pans, with dimension options ranging from 400x400mm up to 610x610mm per bowl. Larger prep operations should consider models with reinforced tops and splashbacks.

Why should I choose a commercial stainless sink bench over a standard kitchen counter?

Commercial-grade stainless sink benches are purpose-built for durability, hygiene, and workflow efficiency. Compared to standard counters, they resist staining, are easier to sanitise, include industrial bowl sizes, and meet foodservice regulations. They also offer modularity—such as pre-punched faucet holes and custom drainboard options—for scalable kitchen operations.
