Caple inset sinks come in two materials: white ceramic and brushed stainless steel. The range suits both traditional and contemporary kitchens. Bowl options run from single and 1.5 bowl designs to a stainless 2.0 bowl. None of these sinks has a tap hole, so you will need a deck-mounted tap fitted to the worktop. Every one has a 90 mm waste outlet for a basket strainer waste and can take a waste disposer.

The ceramic sinks, including the Paladin 1.5 bowl designs, have a hygiene finish. Caple describes this as a glaze designed to reduce surface bacteria. Each ceramic sink is finished by hand, so sizes can vary slightly, and it is worth measuring the sink itself before the worktop is cut. Most can be inset or undermounted. The Lingfield butler sink works differently: an inset lip on three sides and an exposed front give a farmhouse look on a laminate worktop, but it needs a Belfast sink base unit. On the ceramic sinks, wastes are usually sold separately. The Paladin sinks are not reversible, so check which side the smaller bowl sits on.

The Zona sinks are made from 1.2 mm stainless steel and can also be inset or undermounted. They come with accessories such as a colander, and the 2.0 bowl version adds a chopping board and a full plumbing kit. To narrow things down, start with your base unit width (from 500 mm to 800 mm), then decide between ceramic and steel. You can also browse all Caple sinks or the full range of Caple products.
