The modern day kitchen sink is not the sink of the past. The expectations of the kitchen sink have changed, challenging the manufacturers to upgrade their products in style, functionality and durability. Sinks are available in different materials, depths and configurations. Now, one can have a sink that is easier to clean and more attractive - as well as being as functional as the ones found in professional kitchens.

Kitchen sink depths range from 8" deep to a typical 10" deep. Having extra depth is much more accommodating for large families, cleaning large pots, pans or even your small pets.

 Materials:

• Cast iron with a porcelain glaze
• Glass – many color options available and can have designs and texture
• Stone – Granite, Onyx, Marble and Honed Basalt
• Composite
• Fire Clay – New!
• Bamboo – Very green product!
• Copper
• Stainless Steel

Styles:

• Contemporary/Modern
• Traditional

Specialty metal sinks are also available.

Installation types:

• Self rimming – countertop may dictate the use of self rimming sinks (or budget)
• Under mount – used with slab type countertops (granite, quartz, marble, etc.)  easiest of all to clean!
• Flush mount – This is a specific type of sink for a specific type of installation...typically tile.

   

Configuration of Kitchen Sink Bowls:

• 3 bowl kitchen sink (oversized sink)
• 2 bowl kitchen sinks – 50/50, 60/40, 80/20
• Single bowl kitchen sinks are gaining in popularity because pots and pans have gotten larger and dishwashers are more prevalent
