Practical Tips


  • The Apron Front Kitchen Sink: A Large Sink for Many Purposes
    It seems that one can’t open a kitchen design or architectural review book or magazine these days without coming upon a photo of a kitchen featuring an apron front sink. Apron front kitchen sinks are named for the fact that the front of the sink is exposed and finished in whatever the material of the sink is – in most cases stainless steel, porcelain, or copper. This foot or so of surface lends a distinctive appearance to the sink, and lets those who use the kitchen get “up close and personal” with the food they are preparing, with the dishes and pots and pans they are washing, or even the dogs they are washing. Yes, really! Picture one of these sinks with a removable wand faucet and you’ll understand.
  • Undermount Kitchen Sinks: A Stylish Alternative to the Ordinary Sink
    Stainless steel kitchen sinks are more popular than ever, with porcelain clad iron sinks considered passé in some circles. To be sure, stainless steel undermount sinks offer tons of style and value, with durability that last will for decades, with proper maintenance. For these reasons, many certified kitchen designers and architects recommend undermount stainless steel kitchen sinks.
  • The Single Bowl Kitchen Sink: It May Be All You Need
    If you’ve got a modestly-sized kitchen with a dishwasher, a single bowl kitchen sink may be all you need. You’ll save precious countertop space for other kitchen tasks, while the single bowl allows you to rinse your plates, bowls, and utensils before putting them in the washer.
  • The Double Bowl Kitchen Sink For Your Kitchen Remodel
    When you’re planning a kitchen remodel, it’s your dream kitchen you’re planning, so it pays to make informed decisions. One choice that may not seem so glamorous up front, but one that is relatively important, is to decide which style of kitchen sink you need: single bowl, or double bowl.
