| The sink
is the focal point of your kitchen: not only
is it where you prepare your food and clean
your dishes, but the sink also sets the tone
for the entire room. Finding the perfect balance
between your kitchen’s design and your family’s
needs can be tricky, though, so its worthwhile
to spend a little time thinking about the
different types of sinks available today.
Choose from a variety of styles from a sturdy
farmhouse sink big enough to hold tons of
dirty pots and pans to a sleek double basin
undermount model or even a unique vessel bowl.
Materials range from stone, metal, clay, acrylic
and even wood, so there’s a we can address
any design scheme for you. |

Undermount
Kitchen Sinks
There are three basic types of kitchen cabinets:
stock, semi stock and custom made. Stock or
prefabricated cabinet doors are the least
expensive and custom cabinets, because they’re
designed and fabricated specifically for your
kitchen, are the most expensive. |

Drop-in
Kitchen Sinks
Drop-in or self-rimming sinks have a rim or
lip around their outer edge and are quite
easy to install: just drop the sink into a
hole in your countertop and then fasten. Just
as with undermount sinks, drop-in sinks come
in a variety of materials such as stainless
steel, porcelain, copper, stone, wood and
cast acrylic. Choose from single, double and
triple bowl configurations as well as square,
round or rectangular shapes to find the perfect
marriage between style and function. |

Farmhouse
Kitchen Sinks
For a timeless sophisticated look, consider
the sturdy farmhouse sink. Farmhouse sinks
are large and deep and boast an exposed front
panel or front apron; they sit on top of the
counter or are mounted onto the wall. (Faucets
will need to be installed directly onto the
countertop or behind the sink basin.) These
Old World sinks are available in porcelain,
enamel, stainless steel, copper, stone, and
wood and boast either plain or decorated fronts.
Choose from single or double bowl configurations
depending on your needs. |

Bar
or Prep Kitchen Sinks
Installing a smaller second sink can make
a huge impact on your kitchen workflow. Best
used in a bar area or on a kitchen island,
these drop-in and undermount small sinks add
extra space for a second cook, or so that
you can service your bar or so that you and
your culinary partner can clean or prepare
food at the same time in a busy kitchen. These
smaller sinks are available in round, oval,
square or rectangular shapes and come in stainless
steel, copper, brass, bronze, porcelain and
cast acrylic so coordinating with your current
design is a breeze. |

Utility
Kitchen Sinks
Strong and durable utility sinks are essential
in laundry rooms and basement workshops. Whether
you need a place to soak laundry or clean
paintbrushes, choosing an undermount or wall
mounted utility sink for your home’s workspace
has never been easier. |
