Whether you’re replacing a broken sink or simply getting a new one because you’re remodeling, it is always exciting to be looking at a new kitchen sink.
Your next kitchen sink replacement can easily be the main attraction of your kitchen or a major disappointment. It all depends on how informed you are when you make your choice.
Read on to find some tips and tricks to help you choose the perfect sink for your home.
Materials
When it comes to kitchen sink materials, the choices are aplenty. And there are benefits for everyone. Each material has its own unique properties and aesthetic appeal. Here are a few popular options to consider:
- Stainless Steel: This bad boy is Durable, affordable, and resistant to stains and heat.
- Cast Iron: While it is considered heavy-duty cast iron is available in various colors, which is definitely a plus. Just remember, this material could be a little hard to maintain.
- Composite Granite: This material offers a natural stone appearance. It’s also very resistant to damage.
- Copper: This material might just be for you if you want something unique. Copper might just be the unusual addition to your home that you are looking for.
Size
You have been paging through the latest edition of Homeowners magazine, and now all you can think of is that farmhouse sink. But before you make rushed purchases, you must ask yourself whether your kitchen has enough room.
The last thing you want is for your kitchen sink to look disproportionate to the size of the kitchen. That style might look amazing in a farmhouse, but this is about your house. Make sure you choose something appropriate for you and your home.
Single Bowl vs. Double Bowl
One important decision when choosing a new sink is whether to go for a single-bowl or double-bowl.
Single bowl sinks offer ample space for larger pots and pans, making cleanup a breeze. On the other hand, double bowl sinks provide the convenience of separating tasks, such as washing dishes and food prep.
Again, this is about your kitchen and your needs. Evaluate your kitchen routines and preferences to determine which option best suits you!
Faucet Compatibility
When choosing a new kitchen sink, you must consider the faucet that will accompany it. After all, it doesn’t matter how pretty your new sink is if it’s not compatible with your plumbing system.
Ensure the replacement sink matches your desired faucet style and installation type. Some sinks have pre-drilled holes for specific faucet types, while others offer customization options.
Pay attention to the number of holes and their spacing to ensure a seamless fit. Or you could just ask us to do it for you.
