A kitchen sink is a focal point of your kitchen. Not only is it important for washing hands, cleaning dishes and preparing food, but it is also a key element in the overall kitchen design. Take enough time to choose a kitchen sink that is both functional and visually appealing.
There are many shapes and sizes to choose from when considering a kitchen sink. Two common types of sinks installed in kitchens include drop-in sinks and undermount sinks. A drop-in kitchen sink is mounted into an opening on the counter top surface from above and then the faucet is mounted on the sink deck. An undermount kitchen sink is brought through a hole cut into the counter top and the edge goes underneath the surface opening instead of resting on top of it. Undermount sinks are used on solid surfaces such as granite.
Stainless steel kitchen sinks are a popular choice because of their long-term durability. They are dent and rust resistant. You can use a gauge number to select the metal thickness you want for your sink. Lower gauge numbers mean thicker metal and higher numbers mean it is thinner. If you prefer a colored sink, select a cast iron sink made with a glass, enamel or porcelain finish. These are also durable like stainless steel.
When selecting a faucet, find one containing the right number of holes to match the sink. It will not install correctly if the holes do not match.
