Kohler
Kohler makes kitchen sinks in stainless steel, stone composite, and enameled cast iron, with workstation sinks, kitchen faucets, accessories, drains, and garbage disposals to go with them. Kohler traces back to 1873, when John Michael Kohler bought a foundry in Wisconsin.
What Kohler makes
Kohler builds kitchen fixtures rather than appliances, and on the kitchen side that centers on sinks and faucets. Kohler lists its workstation sinks in stainless steel, stone composite, and KOHLER enameled cast iron, in undermount, top-mount, wall-mount, and farmhouse styles. It also lists kitchen faucets, sink accessories including drains and garbage disposals, and ADA-compliant kitchen sinks. As a fixtures brand, Kohler anchors the sink and faucet part of a kitchen, working alongside the cooking and refrigeration appliances rather than replacing them.

Where it fits in the kitchen
Kohler's role is the prep and cleanup zone, the sink and faucet that get used more than almost anything else in a kitchen. The material choice matters there: Kohler offers enameled cast iron, stainless steel, and stone composite, so a homeowner can match the sink to the counter and the cooking equipment. The workstation sinks take custom-fit cutting boards, utility racks, and drying racks, and add integrated colanders and drain boards, so prep and rinsing happen over the basin. The line completes a kitchen alongside the cooking, refrigeration, and ventilation brands.
Sinks are chosen against the counter and the cabinet hardware, and there are Kohler sinks installed on the Kohler Island at Design Gallery in Roseville, the kitchen and bath showroom in the same building as the appliance floor.

Kohler workstation sinks
A Kohler workstation sink has ledges built into the basin walls for the accessories Kohler lists: custom-fit cutting boards, utility racks, and drying racks, plus integrated colanders and drain boards. Kohler lists these sinks in stainless steel, stone composite, and KOHLER enameled cast iron, in undermount, top-mount, wall-mount, and farmhouse styles.
Kohler kitchen sinks by material and style
As Kohler's site lists them:
- Materials. Stainless steel, enameled cast iron, Neoroc composite, and fireclay.
- Types. Farmhouse, workstation, undermount, single-bowl, double-bowl, top-mount, bar, and laundry sinks.
- Collections. Kohler names Vault, Whitehaven, Audrine by Studio McGee, Synthos, Riverby, Strive, Cairn, and Prolific among its kitchen sink collections.
Choosing between them comes down to three decisions: the material, the mounting (undermount sits beneath the counter, a farmhouse sink shows an apron front, top-mount rests on the counter), and the bowl layout.
Who Kohler suits
Kohler suits a kitchen where the sink is the center of the prep zone. A workstation sink takes Kohler's custom-fit cutting boards, utility racks, and drying racks. Kohler makes these sinks in enameled cast iron, stainless steel, and stone composite, so settle the material with the Roseville team before you order. Bring the cabinet width and the counter material, so the installation style can be matched to your layout. A licensed plumber connects the sink, faucet, and disposal.

Kohler questions
What is the difference between an under-mount and a top-mount sink?
How the basin meets the counter. An under-mount is fixed beneath the counter surface, so nothing sits proud of it and crumbs wipe straight over the edge into the bowl. A top-mount drops in from above and rests on a visible rim. An apron-front replaces part of the cabinet face with an exposed panel and stands forward of the counter edge.
What is a workstation sink?
A basin with ledges built into its walls. Cutting boards, colanders, drying racks, and basin racks sit on those ledges, so prep and rinsing happen over the sink rather than on the counter beside it.
Should a kitchen sink have one bowl or two?
It follows how the sink gets worked. One bowl leaves a single uninterrupted basin, which takes a full-size roasting pan or a sheet tray flat. Two bowls divide the space, so a pot can be left to soak on one side while the other stays clear. Kohler builds both, and the choice pairs with the material and the mounting style.
