Elkay Sink Accessories: What Are Your
Options?
There are so many options for Elkay sink
accessories. For almost a century now, the Elkay Company
has brought the best stainless steel sinks in the market. Elkay
sinks are always innovative and are made with a level of
quality that is unmatched by its competitors.
Regardless of the budget or the design
requirements, Elkay will have a sink that will meet your needs.
At the same time, as beautiful and well designed their sinks
are, there are several products out there that can complement
them and contribute a much more holistic experience. These
Elkay sink accessories expand the functionality of the sink,
making them an even more essential part of the home.

Elkay Sink
Accessories: Cutting Board
This may sound trivial to some, but Elkay was
able to devise cutting boards that innovatively fit on the
mount of the sinks in order to save an incredible amount
of space in the kitchen. The cutting boards work well on a
normal table too. There are smaller boards that won't rest
on sinks completely, but Elkay added a nice design element
that makes cutting boards more useful on top of sinks.
Almost all of their cutting boards have a slot on one of
its edges, so one can easily sweep unused chopped
vegetables down the drain.
Elkay
Sink Accessories: Rinsing
Baskets
The main function of these rinsing baskets is
to allow ingredients to be washed and then to be drained
with the excess water directly down the sink. Also made
with stainless steel, Elkay has baskets that can sit at
the bottom of the sink or those large enough to rest in
the mouth like some of the cutting boards. The rinsing
baskets can also come with a removable dish rack, so you
can also drain some of your plates.

Sink Accessories:
Bottom Grids
Bottom grids look like rinsing baskets at first
glance but actually perform a very important function:
they act as protection to the surface of sinks against
scratches brought about by cutlery, plates, or bones.
Depending on the size of the sink, one can add more than
one bottom grids to fully cover the entire bowl. As
always, these are made of stainless steel, and all Elkay
sinks will have a bottom grid that is exactly made for
it.
Elkay
Sink Drain Fittings
Drain fittings can be added to your Elkay sink
in order to ensure that no large mass can run through the
pipes, which can eventually be the cause of clogging. Some
of the drain fittings are made of brass, though in line
with other Elkay accessories, most will be stainless
steel.
There are also drain fitters that are deeper
than the sinks they will be attached to. In this small gap, a
rubber stopper is often placed to allow water to accumulate
into the sink.
Soap/Lotion
Dispensers By Elkay
These accessories are more common in commercial
buildings than in residences. Some of Elkay's commercial
sinks allow for dispensers to be attached in front or to
the side. Current dispenser designs are of the plunger
type, with liquid reservoir at the bottom hidden from
view. Pressing down the dispenser releases the soap in the
spout. This makes it easier for employees to wash their
hands thoroughly before going out of the kitchen.
