Selecting A Kitchen Sink

Material

There are all sorts of different types of kitchen sink materials.  Here’s a short list of a few:

• Cast Iron (enameled)
• Steel With Porcelain
• Vitreous China
• Types of Natural Stones
• Stainless Steel
• Copper

There are a lot of different types of sink material to choose from.  Some of the more important things to mention are that price affects the decision, but more important might be durability.  A fire-clay sink or china sink that is made of a baked or fired clay material is great for kitchens where you really want to have a lot of color or maybe a custom design and decoration.  But they aren’t as durable as a stainless steel sink for example.  If a large pan or pot were to come crashing down into the sink it is possible that the sink can chip.

Again, here we want to try and look at how we’re going to use our kitchen.  Will there be a large family operating at the same time, requiring large, robust and industrial choices with durability as the main concern?  Or will there be a small couple living in a retirement home in the country who won’t be cooking any meals for more than 4 or 5?  If you’re not sure or would like help walking through it, give us a call.

In the next section we’ll cover MOUNT TYPE.
