Why a shallow sink matters

The space beneath the sink is part of the design

A conventional deep kitchen sink occupies a large volume beneath the worktop. For somebody approaching from a wheelchair, that can reduce knee clearance and force the user to sit further away from the bowl.

Granberg Ergosteel reduces the bowl depth to 120mm. The shallower form leaves more usable space below while also reducing the distance somebody has to reach down into the sink during everyday washing, rinsing and food preparation.

Combine that geometry with an open knee space or a height-adjustable worktop and the sink becomes part of an accessible working area rather than an obstacle beneath it.

Seven models from compact single bowl to full double-bowl drainer

The model number identifies the sink layout. Choose around the available worktop space and the way the sink will actually be used rather than simply selecting the largest bowl that will physically fit.

ES10 44.1 cm

Compact single bowl

The smallest Ergosteel option for compact accessible sink areas where a straightforward single bowl is enough.

1 bowl 120mm deep 618ES10-044
ES11 49.6 cm

Larger single bowl

A simple one-bowl configuration with more overall sink space while retaining the same 120mm bowl depth.

1 bowl 120mm deep 618ES11-050
ES15 76.6 cm

Single bowl + drainer

Adds an integrated drying surface to a shallow single bowl and can be orientated with the drainer on either side.

1 bowl Drainer Reversible
ES20 61.6 cm

Compact 1½ bowl

Combines a main shallow bowl with a smaller secondary bowl without adding an external drainer.

1½ bowls Reversible 618ES20-062
ES25 97.1 cm

1½ bowl + drainer

A versatile layout combining a main bowl, secondary bowl and integrated draining surface. This is the Ergosteel model displayed in Kitchen One.

1½ bowls Drainer Reversible
ES30 76.6 cm

Double bowl

Two shallow bowls provide separate working areas without requiring an integrated external draining surface.

2 bowls Reversible 618ES30-077
ES35 120.6 cm

Double bowl + integrated drainer

The largest Ergosteel configuration combines two 120mm-deep bowls with an integrated draining surface. The unit is reversible, allowing the wider layout to be adapted to the orientation of the kitchen.

120mm bowl depth

More room underneath. Less reach into the bowl.

Bowl depth affects both sides of the worktop. Above it, a shallower sink reduces how far the user needs to reach down. Below it, the bowl occupies less of the space where a seated user's knees and legs may need to go.

That relationship becomes particularly important when the sink is fitted into a rise-and-fall worktop. Lowering a worktop with a conventional deep sink can bring the underside of the bowl uncomfortably close to the user's legs.

Reduced downward reach The bottom of the bowl sits closer to the working surface.
Increased knee clearance Less bowl depth occupies the open space beneath the worktop.
Works with adjustable surfaces Particularly useful where the entire sink area changes height.

The 120mm bowl is designed around the space both above and below the worktop — improving reach while preserving room for seated approach.
120

mm bowl depth

Ergosteel sits below the 150mm maximum sink depth identified in Approved Document M guidance for wheelchair-accessible dwellings.

Accessible kitchen guidance

Shallow depth is not just about comfort

In England, Approved Document M Volume 1 gives specific guidance for kitchens in M4(3) wheelchair-accessible dwellings. It states that the sink should be no more than 150mm deep.

The same guidance also calls for insulation to the underside to help protect a wheelchair user's legs from scalding. Ergosteel uses a 120mm bowl and includes a heat-insulation pad beneath the sink.

Project-specific compliance still matters Building Regulations depend on the building, jurisdiction and project requirements. The sink is one element within the wider accessible kitchen specification and should be considered alongside worktop height, clear leg space, controls, appliances and circulation.

One range, two installation approaches

Inset or under-mounted

Ergosteel can be integrated into the worktop in two different ways, allowing the same accessible bowl geometry to work with different kitchen styles and worktop specifications.

Confirm the mounting method and worktop material before the cut-out is manufactured.
Inset

Sink rim above the worktop

The sink is dropped into the prepared opening, with the stainless-steel perimeter sitting at the worktop surface. This is a familiar and practical installation method across many kitchen worktop materials.

Under-mounted

Bowl beneath the worktop

Under-mounting creates a cleaner uninterrupted worktop edge around the sink and can make it easier to wipe water and food debris directly from the worktop into the bowl.

Before cutting

Use the model-specific dimensions

The overall width varies significantly from the compact ES10 through to the ES35. Worktop openings should be manufactured from the appropriate Granberg drawing for the exact model.

More than the stainless-steel bowl

The details beneath the sink matter too

A shallow bowl only creates useful space if the waste, insulation and plumbing are considered with it. Ergosteel is supplied around that complete accessible sink arrangement.

01

Heat-insulated underside

A factory-fitted heat-protection pad helps reduce the risk from contact with a hot sink surface where the user's legs occupy the space below.

02

Low-profile waste

The waste arrangement is designed to occupy less space beneath the sink than a conventional deep trap arrangement.

03

Flexible waste hose

Flexible drainage is particularly useful where the sink is installed within an electrically or manually height-adjustable worktop.

04

Basket strainer & overflow

The sink package includes the appropriate waste components and overflow parts for the bowl configuration selected.

Ergosteel is the classic stainless-steel option

The accessible geometry does not force one particular kitchen aesthetic. Ergosteel, Trendline and Granite provide different materials and finishes while keeping shallow-bowl usability at the centre of the design.
