Product Overview
The Houzer CTR-1700 Contempo is a deep undermount bar and prep sink with a square single bowl, rear-set drain, and included bottom grid and basket strainer. Its 17-by-18-inch overall footprint provides substantially more capacity than a narrow cocktail sink while remaining compact enough for beverage stations, kitchen islands, butler’s pantries, and secondary preparation areas. The 10-inch bowl depth helps contain splashing and gives users room for glassware, small cookware, produce, and entertaining tasks.
The sink is fabricated from 18-gauge T-304 stainless steel and finished in lustrous satin. Its interior bowl measures 15 by 16 inches with a 10-inch depth, while Houzer specifies a minimum 21-inch sink base. The rear drain preserves more of the central bowl floor and can help keep the drain assembly closer to the cabinet wall. StoneGuard undercoating over Super Silencer pads helps reduce dish and glass clatter, dampen vibration, and limit condensation beneath the bowl. The current manufacturer listing includes the BG-4170 bottom grid and 190-9180 basket strainer; CB-4100 is identified as an optional cutting board. Confirm the actual sink, template, cabinet opening, faucet reach, reveal style, and drain routing before countertop fabrication.
