This illustrative composite sink pairs a main bowl with a smaller prep bowl, separated by a low divider. You can change the colour and the waste type, and the summary records each choice.
One-and-a-half bowl layouts suit people who cook seriously but do not want a full double sink. The prep bowl handles washing herbs or draining pasta while the main bowl stays full of washing up. Set into a long island, it also becomes a second station, so two people can work at once. Buyers weigh layout and colour together, because a composite sink is usually chosen to match or contrast with the worktop.

What you can configure
The four colours in the demo are anthracite, black, white and concrete, with truffle and sand completing the range. A basket waste or disposer can be selected and is recorded in the summary; the image does not change with it. With two bowls, buyers also need to know which bowl takes the disposer, since most kitchens only need one, usually in the main bowl.

- Waste: Basket, Disposer
Why a configurator suits sinks
Composite sinks are chosen against the worktop. Anthracite under white oak, white under concrete-effect quartz, concrete along a pale island: each pairing changes how the kitchen reads. Buyers want to see the stone-grain texture, not a flat colour block, and a brochure swatch does not show how it looks across a full bowl.
The colour decision benefits most from good imagery; the waste decision benefits from rules. If a disposer is chosen, the configurator can add the right outlet for the main bowl and a basket strainer for the prep bowl, so the plumber receives everything at once. With 12 combinations, getting those parts right by hand on every order is where errors creep in.
Island installations add another layer. The sink sits in full view, often with no window behind it, and the plumbing runs through the island base. Studios specifying an island need cut-out templates, bowl positions and the waste arrangement in one document. A configurator that exports that information is a working tool for the studio, not just a showroom display.
How a production version would be built
Composite surfaces have a fine texture that flat studio lighting tends to lose. I would use 3D product visualisation to render each colour with a raking light so the grain shows, from above and at an angle that reveals both bowls. The waste option can be a small overlay at each drain. The manufacturer supplies colour codes, cut-out templates, bowl dimensions, disposer outlet details and any colour-matched accessories. The specification can be exported as a PDF for studios or sent as a quote to the manufacturer's CRM.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Waste choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if wastes can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about sink configurators
Can the configurator show the stone-grain texture of composite colours?
Yes, if the images are made for it. Rendering or photographing with low, angled light brings out the fine grain, and a close-up shows the surface at real scale. Without that, composite colours look like flat plastic, which undersells them. The texture view is often what persuades buyers towards concrete or truffle.
Which bowl should the disposer go in, and can the configurator decide?
The configurator can follow whatever rule you set. Most kitchens fit the disposer in the main bowl and keep a basket strainer in the prep bowl, but some cooks prefer the reverse. The option can default to the main bowl and let the buyer switch, with the correct outlets added automatically.
Can kitchen studios export a specification for an island sink?
Yes. The configured sink can be exported as a PDF or shared link with the colour, waste arrangement, bowl dimensions and cut-out template. Studios attach that to their plans, and installers work from the same document. If the client changes colour, the studio reconfigures and resends rather than retyping everything.
Can buyers compare the sink colour with their chosen worktop?
It is possible, with limits. A simple version shows the sink against a few common worktop finishes, such as white oak or pale quartz. A fuller version lets buyers upload a photo of their sample. Either way, encourage them to order a physical sample too, because composite colour depends heavily on light.
