• The history of Kohler Undermount Kitchen Sink
  can be traced back from Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
• The company was founded in 1873 by John Michael
  Kohler, an Austrian immigrant, and Charles
  Silberzahn from purchasing the Sheboygan Union
  Iron and Steel Foundry from John Michaels
  father-in-law, Jacob Vollrath for only USD
  5000.00.

• The company was initially called Kohler
  Silberzahn after its founders and dealt primarily
  in plow and farm implements.
• In 1878, Charles Silberzahn sells his minority
  shares to two employees, Herman Hayssen and John
  Stehn and it was renamed Kohler, Hayssen Stehn
  Manufacturing Company. However, the facility
  burned down in 1880 which relocated them to
  another facility but gave then the opportunity to
  add an enamel shop.

4

• They would have been just another businessman
  then had he not decided to coat the iron hog
  scalder or a water trough with enamel and sell it
  as a bathtub in 1883. It became a hit and new
  and exciting ventures and expansions were made
  from interior, kitchen and bath, hospitality and
  global power groups.

5

• Since then, the company has been known as a
  leader in the plumbing industry which includes
  urinals, water closets and kitchen sinks.

6

• The company further diversified in 2005 with the
  acquisition of the French manufacturer of power
  generators SDMO Industries, along with sister
  companies, SOREEL and BES, from the Meunier
  Holdings. This paved the way for the creation of
  the Kohlers newest business unit, Global Power
  Group.

• In choosing the variety of Kohler Undermount
  Kitchen Sink, it is important to consider several
  factors first.
• First is you need to take into consideration the
  number of bowls you would be requiring. You have
  the option from single up to undermount triple
  bowl sinks. It would all depend on your
  preference, space allocation and intended use.

8

• A single bowl Kohler kitchen sinks undermount is
  relatively large and can fit most large pots and
  pans. However, with the undermount single bowl
  sinks, you stand the risk of making a mess on
  your countertop with water drips and what nots.

9

• This is why people often opt for at least a
  double bowl. Kohler has a variety of undermount
  double bowl sinks that already has an area
  provision for a drying rack, chopping board and
  what not. However, it might be a little more
  difficult to wash large pots and pans with a
  double bowl sink.

10

• Fortunately, Kohler took a note of this and
  provided its consumers with the option of have
  the benefits of both a single bowl and double
  bowl sink in one with its Smart Divider kitchen
  sinks.
• If you have an especially large kitchen, Kohler
  also has a wide selection of undermount triple
  bowl sinks.

11

• After you have decided on the number of bowl,
  you also have your choice of material to consider
  next. Your options being stainless steel,
  fireclay or cast iron enamel. Each has its own
  pros and cons so its entirely up to your
  preference.

12

• Now, if you are not too keen on the full Kohler
  Undermount Kitchen Sink look, you can have it
  halfway by getting an apron-front kitchen sink.
  This traditional look is modernized by Kohler to
  seamlessly fit your home and style preference.

13

• The cost of a Kohler Undermount Kitchen Sink
  would depend on the factors mentioned above.
• For example, an simple single bowl stainless
  steel sink can cost around 600 and it does not
  include installation cost. A double bowl
  stainless steel, on the other hand, can cost
  around 1000 while a triple bowl stainless steel
  will set you back around 1600.

14

• However, you can expect to shell out around 800
  if you opt to go for the single bowl cast iron
  enamel sink. Unless the stainless steel sink, a
  double bowl cast iron enamel sink can often cost
  as much as a single bowl cast iron enamel.

15

• You can expect that an apron front Kohler
  kitchen sink will be more expensive than its
  undermount counterpart.
• A stainless steel apron front single bowl
  kitchen sink cost around 700 while the cast iron
  one is around 900.

16

• Opting for an apron front double bowl stainless
  steel will set you back around 1000 while the
  cast iron version is around 2000.
• The Kohler fireclay kitchen sink currently comes
  in the single bowl option only and it will set
  you back at least 900 for the cheapest model.

17

• If you are keen on getting the Smart Divider,
  you also have the option of getting it in
  stainless steel or cast iron enamel. The
  stainless steel version costs at least 750 while
  the cast iron enamel version will set you back at
  least 500 for the cheapest model on the Kohler
  Undermount Kitchen Sink.
