Help need deciding on stainless sink.

13 years ago

Hello,

We need to pick our kitchen sink. I am going with a 30" single bowl. We seem to gravitate toward the farm sink, but might like a non-farm style sink. The granite would look good in front of the sink, but again, we are drawn to the farm-style. This will be the only sink in our kitchen. It will have a disposal, an air-switch and soap dispenser. Our appliances are stainless.

We will likely have a chrome faucet, 95% sure of it. ORB might be an option, but not as likely.

I am leaning toward a curved front versus the flat front. I want the sink to be quiet, durable, good looking and affordable.

Any ideas where to purchase or what you have that made you happy? Any reason to have a divided sink? I want a large bowl to be able to clean large roasting pans, cookie sheets, cutting boards, etc.

One last odd question....has anyone used a chrome faucet with a copper sink? Or is that just ridiculous? We are 9.5 months into our build and our brains are fried, we need your help!

Thank you...

You are debating the same type of sink that I am. Right now I am considering two sinks by Kraus both reasonably priced.

Both can be found on faucetdirect.com. I've purchased from them in the past and have been quite pleased.

The undermount is linked below. It's a 32" but the interior measurement is 30". The farmhouse is KHF200-36 which actually might be too big for you.

Here is a link that might be useful: Kraus 32

I think a single bowl is SO much more practical. You can put dirty things on one side and still use the other for prep! My only advice on the farm sink is - is the sink opposite anything that juts out? Is your space in front of the sink narrow at all? If so, don't put in a farm sink. Also - if you want a pop out tray for sponges, etc then you can't have that with an apron front sink (is this the same thing????).

I have Elkay stainless - love them, they're not fancy, not intended to be. I put in sink protectors on the bottom of each but still get minor scratches.

OH and I would not do chrome - unless it's brushed. Brushed nickel will go very nicely with your stainless appliances.
