Apron Front Sink Designs Mixing Retro With Modern Kitchen Sinks Concepts
Before fashion got in the way of function, the farmhouse apron sink was the only workable design that offered deep sink functionality. Installed on three sides directly into the adjoining counter top area, without any front counter edge, the apron front sink allowed a person to ‘belly-up' to the washing task without leaning over non-functional countertop space. Read on for highlights and features of apron front kitchen sinks before you make your design decision.
- Apron Sink Functional Advantage. Ergonomics may not have been a ‘term of art' out on the farm, but ease-of-use farmhouse apron sinks resolved many of the most practical issues facing the clean-up process. A copper or stone apron front sink could be designed deep art around 10 inches or more, yet not so wide on the front to back measure so as to make a normal sized person strain or reach unnecessarily. This simple yet key observation resulted in a three side fitted apron sink design with a finished front piece of either plain material or offering engraved or relief etchings of farmyard animals, trees, flowers, and so on.
- Great Choice In Materials. No matter how traditional or metro modern your home may be, you'll be able to select from a wide range of apron front sink designs in order to make the perfect compliment to your counter tops, faucets, stove and range or other appliances' finish details. Older traditional copper apron front sinks are now available from custom sink designer manufacturers sized precisely to your needs and offering front panel etching motifs and left or right handed models in terms of placement of sink drains, faucets and strainers. Meanwhile, stainless steel apron sinks can give you a more contemporary look and exceptionally hard wearing low maintenance material. A more utility style rustic design includes the granite stone apron sink or even fireclay sinks.
- Cool Design Features. As a three sided fit into your kitchen counter top, your apron front sink creates a far more assertive design presence due to the exposed front panel, which could have dimensions of 10 inches height by 33 inches long. Ultra modernist look could result in a solid face copper apron sink panel, or stainless steel brushed to give the same appearance as up market model gas ranges. Alternatively, you can choose from stunning design options such as hand painted floral and other shaped designs on the fireclay apron front sinks or project a farmyard animal scene or trees or flowers in either a raised relief or etched design.
Major Brands. While literally dozens of brand manufacturers offer sink designs, stay initially with the major ‘players' including Elkay and Kohler apron sinks, available in a wide selection of sizes and materials
- Choice Of Sizes And Shapes. Apron front sink designs run the gamut of standard kitchen, bathroom and utility sink design offerings. Basic shapes include short or long rectangular or you can push the design ‘envelope' by choosing a single or double bowl apron sink with a curved or radius finished with a rectangular face panel. Apron front sinks are offered in single bowl, double bowl, and triple bowl designs.
