Selecting The Sink Bowl That Completes Your Design
No matter whether you're doing a simple ‘swap out' or a major remodel project, your choice of sink bowls represents a marriage of form, function and money. Assessing your full range of needs in your kitchen or bathroom is then best way to trigger the process of sink bowl design reviews. Size, shape, frequency of use, how many dishes are ‘typical', how often do you entertain are just some of the background factors that bear on selecting the perfect sink bowl for your needs. Look at some related factors below before you make a buying decision online.
- Sizes Of Sink Bowls. Form and function meet face to face when dealing with the issue of optimum sink bowl size. You can select from a wide size range of single, triple or double bowl sinks ranging from narrow 18 inch by 18 inch by 5 inch depth models to, say, stainless steel kitchen sinks 33 inches wide by 22 inches front to back by 10 inches depth.
- Shapes Of Sink Bowls. Traditional sink bowls are produced in a range of rectangular shapes. However, with the advent of new manufacturing technologies and the introduction of new materials, sink bowl shapes have expanded to now include circular drop down vessel bowl sinks with Old World motifs, half moon full front apron sinks, elliptical shaped sink bowl designs, hexagonal sink bowls and more. Additionally, based on your needs analysis, you can select a double bowl sink or even a triple bowl sink with a bias towards right handed or left handed use, in terms of placement of the rinse versus wash basins. Don't forget that for a small premium, you can also obtain custom copper sink bowls which are fabricated in a size to specifically match your cabinet or corner opening, in either self rimming or undermount models.
- Self Rimming Versus Undermount Sink Bowls. Your simplest choice in either kitchen or bathroom sink bowls typically is the self-rimming or top down model which sits atop your countertop along a 1 inch to 1 1/5 inch flange. Self rimming sink bowl designs are available in most materials including porcelain, vitreous china, stainless steel, copper, cast iron, and so on. Getting a ‘cleaner' look with a continuous countertop surface is made easier with the range of undermount sink bowls, whose mounting hardware is contained within the sink cabinet, therefore eliminating the need for the support flange.
- Sink Bowl Materials. Virtually any ‘look' can be purchased in sink bowl designs. Besides stainless steel, porcelain, glass and cast iron, you can purchase elaborately grained marble sink bowls, or other stone materials such as soapstone and granite.
