Trough Sinks

Trough sinks are long, single basins that give you a wide washing area, whether that means two people sharing one bathroom sink or extra room for rinsing and prep in the kitchen. This page brings together trough-style sinks from brands such as Native Trails, Kohler and Zomodo, with examples including the Trough 36 Bathroom Sink, the Constellation 60" wall-mount trough lavatory system and the Panama Q 34" Prep Station/Trough Sink. Product types include NativeStone and copper bathroom sinks, wall-hung sinks and Chef Prep Center sinks, so you can shop for a powder room, a shared family bathroom or a working kitchen.

Before you choose, think about how the sink will mount: a wall-mount system frees up floor space and sets the height where you want it, while a counter-mounted basin needs a vanity or custom top cut to suit. Decide whether you want one faucet or two, and check how the drain lines up with your existing plumbing. Finish matters too, with colour options such as Ash, Charcoal, Pearl, Slate and Glacier White appearing on this page, so you can match a trough to the rest of the room.

What to check before you buy

• Measure the full length and depth. Confirm the space available along the wall or counter, including clearance for doors, side walls and any mirror or backsplash you plan to keep.
• Decide how the sink will mount. Wall-mount systems need solid blocking in the wall, while counter-mounted basins rely on a vanity or custom top sized to the sink.
• Plan faucets and drain placement. A long basin can be set up with one faucet or two, so confirm the hole layout and where the drain sits relative to your plumbing.
• Think about material and care. Concrete, copper and other materials each have their own cleaning and sealing routines, so pick one that suits how the sink will be used.
• Match the sink to the room. A bathroom trough and a kitchen prep station serve different jobs, so look at what accessories or features you actually need.

A trough sink is a long, single basin rather than two separate bowls. It gives a wide washing area and is often used in shared bathrooms or as a kitchen prep station.

Can a trough sink have two faucets?

Yes, long basins are often fitted with two faucets so two people can use the sink at once. Check the faucet hole layout and the drain position before you buy.

Are trough sinks only for bathrooms?

No. This page includes bathroom trough sinks as well as kitchen options such as the Panama Q 34" Prep Station/Trough Sink, which is built for prep and cooking tasks.
