Getting The Most Out Of Your Laundry Sink
Using your space and money smartly means that your laundry sink can be more than a ‘forgotten' back room space. See the design and technology advances that have created a whole new category of hard working great looking utility laundry sinks that will fit any space and budget need.
- What Size Laundry Sink Works Best For You. Getting the right utility laundry sink means that you should not only know your actual space limitations, but also know the full range of cleaning tasks that you'll perform in this area. Add budget assumptions for renovation, swap out, unit costs and installation and then you'll truly have the core ‘facts' in hand. Single bowl laundry sinks are offered in a range of near standard sizes from 20 inches wide by 21 inches front to back and 9 inches depth to over 26 inches wide by 22 inches front to back and 10 inches depth. Double bowl laundry sinks widen the margin to around 35 inches width by 22 inches front to back with varying depth option of between 9 inches to 10 inches. The ‘mega' size triple bowl utility laundry sinks generally provide three equal sized bowls, with an outside dimension of approximately 48 inches wide by 22 inches front to back and optional depths of around 10 inches. You also have some floor model laundry sinks, if you don't need a supporting cabinet.
- Laundry Sink Materials And Finishes. Many homeowners are finding that a 1 hole or 3 hole stainless steel laundry sink meets their basic need for a tough hard wearing long life surface that, coincidentally, looks sharp as well. Like copper, stainless steel is bacteria resistant, easy to clean and maintain and is offered in most sizes for single, double or triple bowl combinations. Look for stainless steel rated as 18 or 20 gauge, but avoid the lighter 24 gauge ‘builders' grade as it degrades and shows bumps and scratches. Swanstone laundry sinks offer another great surface finish and long life properties as well as a modest range of colors in the darker palette of greens and anthracite gray. Capping off the category are the cast iron laundry sinks, which are somewhat less ‘forgiving' in terms of fine glass ware or delicate items, however gives you the certainty of decades of hard wearing use.
- Drop In Laundry Sink Benefits. Unless designer aesthetics are driving your choices, you need to go for the practical solution which is the traditional drop in laundry sink. Unlike the undermount sink which affixes to your underlying cabinet below the counter top line, your drop in laundry sink utilizes a 1 inch or greater flange in order to sit atop your counter top. Gravity holds your drop in unit's seals or contact surfaces with the counter top, so you'll have ‘no worries' about interior brackets fatiguing over time as can occur with undermount installation. Amongst the many leading brands to consider, Kohler laundry sinks should be investigated for their wide range of sizes and shapes.
