Stainless Steel Bar Sinks — Undermount & Drop-In

Stainless steel, particularly 14-gauge 304 stainless, is widely regarded as the best material for bar sinks. It is corrosion-resistant, food-contact safe, easy to sanitize, and highly durable. Unlike porcelain or composite materials, stainless steel resists chipping and staining, making it ideal for both residential wet bars and commercial bar environments that see heavy daily use.

Wet bar sinks typically range from 9 to 15 inches in width and 9 to 12 inches in depth. For home bars, a single-basin sink around 12x12 inches is a popular choice. Custom Metal Home fabricates bar sinks to your exact dimensions, so you can specify the width, depth, and bowl depth that best fits your countertop, cabinetry, and plumbing configuration.

An undermount bar sink mounts below the countertop surface for a seamless look and easier countertop cleaning. A drop-in sink sits on top of the counter and is held in place by its rim, making installation simpler. Custom Metal Home offers both styles in stainless steel, custom-fabricated to your specified dimensions and designed to integrate with matching metal countertops.
