Product Overview
The Houzer CTB-2385 Contempo is a 23-inch undermount trough sink designed for bar, prep, beverage, and entertaining areas. Its long, narrow single bowl creates a distinctive linear work area for washing glassware, preparing drinks, rinsing produce, arranging garnishes, or using the sink as a chilled beverage station when the application and care instructions allow. The true zero-radius ledges and bottom give the bowl a clean architectural profile, while scored drain lines guide water toward the centered drain.
The sink is fabricated from 18-gauge T-304 stainless steel and finished in brushed satin. It measures 23 inches long by 8-1/2 inches wide, with a 21-by-6-1/2-inch interior bowl and a 6-inch depth. Houzer specifies a 30-inch minimum sink base. MegaShield insulation combines undercoating and sound-deadening material to help reduce vibration, glassware clatter, and condensation beneath the narrow bowl. The standard 3-1/2-inch drain opening is centered for balanced drainage. The current manufacturer listing includes the BG-1208 wire rack and 190-9180 basket strainer along with mounting hardware and a cutout template. Confirm the counter depth, faucet position, cabinet clearance, drain routing, reveal style, and use of the included rack before fabrication.
