Many homeowners spend years dreaming about the types of changes they would like to make in their homes. Remodeling any area of your home is such an exciting endeavor! You could literally spend hundreds of hours browsing through Pinterest alone for remodeling project ideas. If you are considering a kitchen remodel you have probably thought about what kind of sink you would like. Selecting a kitchen sink sounds like it can be an easy task but once you start looking you will soon realize there are many different types to choose from. Anytime Remodeling is going to talk about the options that you will have to think about as you start shopping for the kitchen sink of your dreams.
Vintage Fireclay Farmhouse Sinks
When it comes to sinks there are different styles and different materials to choose from. One of the more trendy options right now is a farmhouse style sink. Farmhouse style sinks extend over the edge of your counter. The rustic and farmhouse movement in interior design have been integral in the farmhouse style sink gaining in popularity. Farmhouse style sinks have a deep basin that can hold lots of dishes. The large basin makes it an excellent option for larger families.
Top Mount Drop In Kitchen Sink
Top mount, or drop-in sinks, are extremely versatile. They are easier to install than some of the other sink options out there. Top mount sinks come in a variety of different materials as well. One of the drawbacks to selecting this type of sink is that it creates or rim around the sink that can get grime and debris in it. Keeping top mount sinks clean can seem like a never ending task.
Undermount Kitchen Sink
For those that do not want to worry about cleaning the grime and debris around the lip of the sink, an undermount sink is an appealing option. Undermount sinks are installed directly under the counter which creates a seamless look from the countertop to the sink. This mounting process makes cleaning undermount sinks much easier than some of the other options. With their sleek look they are versatile and work with most kitchen designs.
Kitchen Island with Sink
Many homeowners are putting in kitchen island sinks when they remodel their houses. Having your sink on your kitchen island helps turn your island into a complete workspace. Another benefit of a kitchen island sink is that it creates more space on your main counter space in your kitchen. One of the drawbacks is that there will be an additional cost to install plumbing in your kitchen island.
Single Bowl or Double Basin Kitchen Sink
Top mount, undermount, and kitchen island sinks can all come with a single basin or double basin. The single basin or double basin option is truly just a personal preference. Some homeowners love the large single basin while others love the separation provided with the double basin sinks.
Kitchen Sink Materials; Stainless Steel, Granite Composite, Cast Iron & More
In addition to the features mentioned above, there are also different materials to choose from for your new kitchen sink. Stainless steel is one of the most popular sink materials on the market right now. Stainless steel sinks are very durable and are resistant to heat and stains. Another popular sink material is granite composite. Composite sinks are made with crush granite or quartz with resin filler. Granite composite sinks come in a variety of color types. They are also durable and are resistant to heat and stains. One of the oldest materials for sinks is cast iron. Cast iron sinks have a bright, glossy enamel finish that many homeowners are drawn to. The enamel finish makes it very easy to clean, helps it not show water spots, and is resistant to light and fading.
