A Kitchen Sink Drain Coverlet Solution That Deserves to Be Seen

When we design kitchen sinks at Rachiele, every element—from the gauge of the metal to the feel of the corners under your fingers—serves a purpose. Our goal has always been to eliminate the unnecessary, simplify the useful, and refine the rest. That same philosophy now applies to one of the most overlooked (and often unsightly) areas of the sinks: the disposal flange and drain areas.
We’re proud to reintroduce our new and refined Rachiele Flange Coverlet, or Drain Coverlet, a minimalist solution that finally does justice to the beauty and function of a custom sink.
So, What Is the Drain Coverlet?
The Coverlet is a solid, elegantly machined metal disc that rests over your disposal drain opening on perfectly designed feet. It allows for water flow without allowing larger food particles to flow down the drain. It conceals the ugly standard black rubber splash guard in the disposal—letting your sink be the focal point, not your drain hardware.
It doesn’t just hide the drain—it refines the visual language of your sink.
Why We Made It
To me, there’s nothing uglier than looking at the opening to a garbage disposal. It’s like seeing a coffee stain on an otherwise pristine marble countertop—a small flaw that draws the eye and undermines the beauty of everything around it. No matter how beautiful the sink, that exposed drain opening disrupts the entire experience.
That’s exactly why we stopped making our original drain covers over 12 years ago. The design didn’t live up to our standards, and we refused to offer anything we couldn’t stand behind with complete confidence. After several weeks of rethinking, prototyping, and testing, we’ve finally arrived at a design that not only solves the problem—it does so beautifully.
And now, we can stand behind it with a full lifetime transferable warranty. It’s built with the same philosophy that drives every Rachiele product: no compromises, no shortcuts, and nothing that detracts from the elegance and function of your kitchen.
The Coverlet restores the seamless aesthetic we work so hard to deliver—solving a problem most people never knew had a solution.
The Coverlet solves all of that.
Zero visual clutter.
One consistent metal tone across your sink.
Easy to lift, clean, and drop back in place. It also fits perfectly in our sponge caddies when not in use.
The stainless version is dishwasher safe.
And of course, fully compatible with disposal units or drains.
No bolts, gaskets, or gimmicks—just precision-machined American metal doing its job.
Available in All Sink Metals
The coverlet is now available in:
316L surgical-grade stainless steel
Copper
Brass
Bronze
Who Is This For?
This isn’t for someone chasing trends. The Coverlet is for those who appreciate the integrity of clean lines, real metal, and thoughtful design. It’s a small refinement—but one that completes the picture.
Whether you're a past Rachiele sink owner looking to elevate your existing sink, or you're building a new kitchen with intention from the ground up, the Coverlet is the finishing touch that says no detail was overlooked.
Each piece is handcrafted to match the exact alloy and patina of your Rachiele sink. And like our sinks, these are not mass-produced. Each coverlet is individually crafted in our Florida facility by the same team responsible for the world’s finest sinks.
