Sinks and faucets are considered an appliance in your remodel. When thinking about your remodel and choosing your sink, 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 make sure you choose a sink and faucet that is good quality and that will last.
When choosing a kitchen sink, there’s two things you want to think about:
Sink Materials
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, it is also called an “apron front sink” and is used alot 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 -
copper sink
extremely sturdy, long lasting & is a natural anti bacterial material
The second thing to think about is sink styles!
-
drop in sink
Gets installed by dropping into the countertop -
undermount sink
Gets installed from underneath your countertop. Please note, that you can’t do this with every material. -
single bowls
-
dual bowls
-
standard sink
-
farmhouse sink
