Product Overview
The Houzer CTS-2300 Contempo is a 23-inch undermount single-bowl kitchen sink with a deep rectangular basin, rear-set drain, scored drain lines, and included bottom grid and basket strainer. Its 21-by-16-inch interior bowl provides room for everyday cookware and food preparation while fitting a smaller cabinet than many 30- or 32-inch kitchen sinks. The 10-inch depth helps contain water and stacked dishes, making the model suitable for compact kitchens, secondary cleanup areas, and islands that need more capacity than a bar sink.
The sink is fabricated from 18-gauge T-304 stainless steel and finished in lustrous satin. Houzer specifies a minimum 27-inch sink base. The rear drain keeps more of the central bowl floor open and can leave useful cabinet space in front of the drain assembly. StoneGuard undercoating and sound-absorbing pads help reduce vibration, clatter, and condensation. The current manufacturer listing includes the BG-4210 bottom grid and 190-9180 basket strainer, while CB-4100 is identified as an optional cutting board. The undermount rim creates a smooth transition from compatible countertops into the bowl. Confirm the actual sink, manufacturer template, cabinet opening, reveal preference, faucet reach, drain and disposal arrangement, and support method before fabrication.
