Does this sink come with a screen in the bottom to prevent scratching to the stainless?

No it does not come with a rack, you can go to the manufacturer site and look up this product there you can find recommended racks for this sink.

No, I bought mine separately. I have seen it at other sites with the screen included.

No, it does not. Also the sink has a flat bottom so draining is not like a normal sink.

Yes, it's provided with the sink. I believe one is also available on Blanco"s web site.

Yes there is an 1/8" thick coating on the whole underside of the sink, it's a great buy compared to Home Depot and Lowes.

yes it does. I got the stainless steel grate to go over the bottom of the sink and that solves the problem. I really love the sink.

I'm pretty sure it did not come with either but our plumber had an extra for us to use. It is still a wonderful sink!!!!!

The handles have a clear rubber around them which prevents scratching.... The handle is also adjustable on one side which helps it fit various sink widths... It can also go horizontally or vertically across the sink

Pretty easily but it comes with a bottom grate that I highly recommend you use. Great looking sink though..

No, but there is a inside soft felt pad for the bottom so items dont touch metal.

We have had several scratches too! We have bought some sink mats to prevent scratching.

Yes, there is a plastic type edging around the circumference of the metal base. Ours sit on wooden floors and we have had no problem with scratches. Be advised that we do our best not to slide the stools when we move them.

Going on two years with our sink and the scratches are minor. Not what I'd consider an issue. We really love the sink. We do use the grates in the bottom most of the time.

No, BKF is good for cleaning but doesn't remove scratches. I don't think any cleaner will. Scratches are the downside of any stainless steel sink, no matter how good the quality. Some people use the bottom grids to avoid scratching. I know one person who buffs her sink with very very fine sandpaper and mineral oil (I've not tried this and am not suggesting it!)

Yes, mine did. This is a beautiful sink, and purchasing it on Amazon save me over $200 vs. buying it from a specialty store or contractor.

No it does not. There is 2 inches of counter top left behind the back lip of the sink.

I bought the wire mesh drainer that fits from corner to corner down in the sink. It works great. No scratches for me! However, I would think without any kind protection it would scratch over time.

Our sink is nearly two years old, and we're a family of eight, so it gets a LOT of use. It has an accumulation of hairline scratches on the floor of the sink, and much fewer on the sides. I think that's just what stainless steel does. There are no deep gouges or dents. It's very heavy-duty stainless steel.
