Considering a New Kitchen Sink

Hands down the kitchen sink is the most popular sink in the house. It gets the most use by the most amount of people.

They help complement your home’s design, whether it be traditional, contemporary or transitional Kohler offers a sink to meet all your needs.

If you’re looking for a new sink their several things to consider. First, how are you mounting the sink? Will it be a drop-in self-rimming sink – dropping in to a counter-top? Will it be an under-mount sink, mounting to a piece of granite or solid surface material? Or will it be a tile-in-sink, designed and produced to match a piece of quarter inch tile and it’s grout? You must know what type of counter-top, you will be using in order to select the correct kitchen sink.

Next, select what type of material you would like the sink to be made from? Kohler sinks come in a variety of materials – Kohler Cast Iron – that currently carries a lifetime limited warranty – for as long as the original purchaser owns their home, Kohler Fireclay, Kohler Vitreous ChinaA term applied to plumbing fixtures that are comprised of ceramic materials, fired at a high temperature to form a nonporous body with exposed surfaces, and coated with ceramic glazeA glossy, water-resistant, colored finish surface that protects all nonporous vitreous china plumbing fixtures. fused to the body. (which I would not recommend) and the all-time favorite stainless steel.

Also, you must choose your sink configuration. There are single, double and triple basin sinks currently available from Kohler. The most popular is the double bowlA water-containing receptor that receives liquid and solid body waste; two general bowl classifications are round-front and elongated. sink with two even bowls on each side. Multiple basins offer increased functionality and efficiency for food preparation and cleanup. However, over the past several years, many homeowners have installed a single basin kitchen sink without a center divider. Single basin sinks accommodate large pots and pans, cookie sheets and other cooking and baking essentials.

Just as big of a category is what many refer to as a secondary kitchen sink or preparation sink. The smaller sinks have a more customized look and can serve as a centerpiece around a bar or entertainment area as well.
