Futura Hand Carved Series Double Bowl Sink (FS 3618 DB) is a large-format, professional-grade kitchen sink measuring 36″ x 18″ (915 x 457mm) overall, with two independent hand-fabricated basins each measuring 16.5″ x 16″ x 9″ (419.5 x 406 x 225mm). Like the single-bowl models in the Hand Carved range, the FS 3618 DB is manually constructed from thick-gauge High Grade SS 304 (18/8) flat sheets cut and welded to shape – not machine-pressed. This fabrication method produces sharp vertical sidewalls, tight-radius corners, and a larger flat base area per basin than a pressed double-bowl sink of equivalent overall dimensions, where the pressing process thins and rounds the metal at corners and walls. The dual-bowl configuration enables a dedicated wash-and-rinse workflow – one basin for soaking heavy cookware while the other remains clear for rinsing fresh produce, food preparation, or handwashing without cross-contamination.
Both basins carry the same 9-inch (225mm) depth – deep enough to fully accommodate large Indian pressure cookers, biryani pots, and deep kadhais under high-flow faucet pressure without water splash-back, and deep enough to keep a full stack of dirty dishes below the counter sightline. The premium brush finish provides a sophisticated matte surface that resists fingerprints and masks minor scratches effectively through heavy daily use – consistent with the brush finish applied across the Hand Carved range. Advanced sound-dampening pads on the underside absorb vibrations from running water, metal utensil contact, and dual-drain drainage flow. The sink is designed primarily for under-mount installation on granite, quartz, or solid surface countertops where a seamless rimless look and easy counter-to-basin debris sweeping are the design priority, but can be top-mounted on any countertop material.
Key Features
Hand-Fabricated Dual Basin – Maximum Internal Volume: Two independent basins with sharp vertical sidewalls and tight-radius welded corners – each 16.5″ x 16″ x 9″ – providing more usable internal volume per basin than machine-pressed double-bowl sinks of equivalent overall dimensions where pressing rounds and thins the corners.
9-Inch (225mm) Basin Depth – Both Bowls: Both basins carry the full 9-inch depth – accommodates large Indian pressure cookers, kadhais, and baking trays without splash-back, and keeps dishes below the counter sightline in both washing and soaking positions simultaneously.
Simultaneous Wash and Rinse Workflow: Two completely independent basins allow one bowl to soak heavy cookware in hot soapy water while the other remains fully clear for rinsing vegetables, raw food preparation, or handwashing – eliminating the cross-contamination and workflow interruption of a single-bowl sink.
High Grade SS 304 (18/8) Thick-Gauge Construction: Hand-fabrication from thick flat steel sheet – the metal is never thinned by the stamping process, producing a rigid, dent-resistant double basin structure that handles the heaviest Indian cookware through years of daily use.
Brush Finish – Fingerprint and Scratch Resistant: Premium matte brushed surface resists fingerprints and masks minor scratches effectively – maintains a consistently clean, professional appearance on a large-format sink that receives heavy daily contact.

Installation Guidelines
Step-by-Step Installation
Select mounting style: The FS 3618 DB is designed primarily for under-mount installation on granite, quartz, or solid surface countertops – can be top-mounted on any countertop material where a visible rim is acceptable.
Precision countertop cutout: Use the actual sink as the template for marking the cutout – the hand-fabricated edges require a precise fit. Professional stone cutting is required for granite and quartz under-mount installations.
Verify cabinet clearance: Confirm the base cabinet is at least 39-42 inches wide to accommodate the 36-inch sink body and the under-mount clip clearance on each side. Do not attempt installation in a narrower cabinet.
Apply sealant: Apply a continuous, consistent bead of silicone sealant between the full sink rim perimeter and the underside of the countertop – creates both the structural bond and the watertight seal for under-mount installation.
Secure with mounting clips: Use the included heavy-duty mounting clips to anchor the basin to the countertop underside – allow the silicone to fully cure before loading either basin with water or heavy cookware.
Connect dual drains: Install the two included high-flow drainer waste couplings for each bowl independently and connect the drain plumbing – confirm both bowls drain freely before completing the installation.
Recommended Applications
Where the Futura FS 3618 DB fits best
Large Family Kitchens: The dual 9-inch deep basins handle the full volume of large family meal prep and post-meal dishwashing simultaneously – both bowls in active use at peak cooking times without workflow conflicts.
Professional Home Chef Kitchens: Dedicated separate zones for washing raw ingredients and cleaning cooked vessel – the hygienic separation of a double-bowl configuration is essential for serious food preparation where cross-contamination between raw and cooked zones is a concern.
Spacious Kitchen Islands: At 36 inches, the FS 3618 DB serves as a functional centrepiece for large kitchen islands and long countertop runs – the hand-carved geometric profile and brush finish provide a design statement as well as a high-capacity washing workstation.
Seamless Stone Countertop Kitchens: The hand-fabricated sharp-profile design is specifically suited to under-mount installation on granite or quartz – the tight-radius corners align cleanly with the stone cutout for a seamless rimless transition.
High-Hygiene Kitchens: Under-mount installation eliminates the rim-to-counter crevice where food residue and mold accumulate – the full countertop surface wipes directly into either basin, keeping the work area consistently clean.
