Choosing a New Kitchen Sink

As you remodel your kitchen, consider updating your kitchen sink. As the workhorse of your kitchen, your sink may be dented, scratched or simply outdated. Update your kitchen and enjoy a stylish, practical sink by choosing an option that goes with solid surfaces, granite and other countertop options.

Solid Surface Sinks

A solid surface sink is made of the same affordable, durable material of solid surface countertops. Solid surfaces are made by a variety of resins and materials. They may not have the same depth of color and natural look of granite or other countertops, but a solid surface sink matches your countertop perfectly and can be glued on for seamless convenience.

Work with a sink that is easy to clean and comes in the color you desire. If you’re going for a unique look, solid surface material allows you to choose a wide range of sink and countertop colors and patterns for a one-of-a-kind kitchen.

Stainless Steel Options

The most common sink option in homes is stainless steel. Affordable, practical and difficult to damage, stainless steel is chosen as much for practicality as style. Choose 20 gauge steel for a durable sink, or go with 22 gauge steel for a lighter, more affordable option.

Enameled Surface Alternatives

Today’s retro kitchens are switching back to enameled surface sinks. An enameled sink is made of cast iron coated with enamel. The enamel surface, however, is easy to chip. Even with this softer surface, cast iron is incredibly hard and can chip your glassware and china.
