Tips for Choosing the Right Kitchen Sink and Faucet
When it comes to choosing a kitchen sink and faucet, there are so many different designs to choose.
If you are renovating your kitchen, remember to keep function in mind first and style second. Your
priority is to choose something that will work well for you and withstand many years of daily use.
There are many things that you should consider when choosing your kitchen sink and faucet, so keep
these tips in mind to ensure that you make the right
selection:
How do you use your sink? Do you use
it for washing dishes multiple times per day
every day? Do you tend to throw things into it?
If you will be quite hard on the sink, make sure
you choose a durable material such as a
stainless steel sink.
If you are not usually tough on the sink and you want it to be more attractive, you
might want to consider enamel-coated cast iron as this is a much prettier choice.
For a sink that is very easy to clean up, make it an integral part of the countertop so
that you can wipe everything up more quickly from the solid and smooth surface.
If you are on a tight budget for your kitchen renovation, you might want to consider
a polyester/acrylic sink. These types of sinks come in at a lower price point and there are
many different attractive colours to choose
from. Of course, this cheaper option will not
be as durable as other types of sinks.
The next thing to consider is how
many bowls you would like the sink to have.
Some sinks have a double bowl, which makes
washing dishes easier. If you tend to use a lot
of large pots and baking sheets, you might
want to have one of the sink bowls oversized.
When choosing the faucet, you will
want to consider what your sink looks like so
that you can match the design appropriately.
Having a sink and faucet that don’t suit each other will look out of place and strange.
Think about the type of valve you would like best in your faucet – ball, ceramic or
cartridge? Each has its own advantages so do a little research to figure out which would fit
your needs best.
Consider also installing a spray arm that you
can use for rinsing the sink or filling pots with water. It
can be a separate piece or installed as part of the
spout.
After you have decided all of the details of how your perfect
sink and faucet will look, you can head to the local plumbing
showroom and take a look at how your sink and faucet will
look and function when installed.
