Choosing the perfect sink for your kitchen remodel! (The Ultimate Sink Guide)

Sinks and faucets are considered an appliance in your remodel. When thinking about choosing the perfect sink for your kitchen remodel, you should really think about how much you’ll be using your sink on a daily basis and what you’ll be using it for!

You want to ensure you choose a sink and faucet that are made of good quality and that will last.

When choosing a kitchen sink, there’s two things you want to think about:

1. Sink Materials
2. Sink Style

Here are a few different kitchen sink materials:

• Stainless Steel (most commonly used) affordable, but it will scratch If choosing a stainless steel sink, we HIGHLY recommend getting a sink grid!
• Porcelain Sinks Porcelain is durable and doesn’t stain or scratch. Lots of people know this material when it comes with the exposed front on the sink, this is called an “apron front sink” or “farmhouse sink” and is used a lot in farmhouse style kitchens. The biggest con of porcelain sinks is that they are prone to chipping. So, you will have to pay more attention with how you handle it. They are also more expensive on your average scale compared to a stainless steel sink.
• Fireclay Sinks heavy, highly stain and heat resistant More expensive than both stainless steel and porcelain.
• Quartz Composite no bad features, highly stain and heat resistant. Please choose a reputable manufacturer. We have had clients who purchased lower quality brands, experience some staining. 
• Copper Sink extremely sturdy, long lasting & is a natural anti-bacterial material.
