How to Choose a Kitchen Sink for Your Northern Virginia Home
It is one of the most frequently used - and often overlooked - feature in your Silver Spring, Wheaton, or Leesburg home - it's your kitchen sink. Kitchen sinks come in a wide array of shapes, sizes, designs, and materials and should perfectly complement the look and feel of your entire kitchen, whether your kitchen is minimalistic, contemporary, traditional, or rustic.
The ideal kitchen sink for your home should not only reflect your taste in terms of its shape, size, and material, but should also be easily installed and seated in your kitchen's existing layout. An undermounted sink is attached underneath the countertop, while an integral, or flush sink, is made of the same material as the countertop, leaving no noticeable seams between the sink and countertop and no crevices for moisture and grime build-up. Self-rimming sinks have a rolled edge mounted over the countertop, while drop-in sinks are dropped into a countertop cut-out.
Materials used for sinks range from stainless steel to granite. Stainless steel sinks are the most common type of sink material, as they are highly durable and easy to maintain. Granite sinks are resistant to scratching, chipping and staining, and can be expensive because of their durability. Copper and brass sinks are contemporary and elegant, can feature visible hand-hammered prints and are usually under-mounted.
Kitchen sinks come in several configurations, including single-bowl, double-bowl, and triple-bowl to handle large pots and dishes and accommodate extra helpers. Sinks can also accommodate many types of faucets and add-ons such as sprayers and soap dispensers.
