The website "Create Good Sinks" has an article and photos on "when to choose two faucets." It doesn't look as weird as I thought it might with an oversized sink/work station. Go to the website and go to blogs.

IMO workstation sinks are just a PITA the addons are too small if you use them then really all you have is 1/2 sink they all need to be stored somehwere and the small cutting board is IMO useless for prep.We have back to back sinks not large in our island my hubby does the prep I do the cooking. A 45" sink would never take the place of our 2 23" ones . I do think that kitchens should be designed for how you use them first then for the fancy stuff you think you might need . As for 2 faucets what use do you envision for them since honestly only one person can work at a worstation sink at a time. BTW I run a catering biz from my home and often have 5-6 people in the kitchen and love my 2 back to back sinks . My advice is really think about the use of what you put in the kitchen.

The whole point of workstation sinks is to use them as the prep area. If you are having another sink for prep, then you do not need that type of sink for a cleanup area. You certainly do not need one that big, or two faucets for it either. The 2 faucets is for when 2 people are sharing prep duties to either side of the sink.

You may want to consider a much smaller workstation sink for your prep area, with the cutting board cover, and prep containers. Etc. But it's not functional for a cleanup area.

@dewayne - We would only have the 45” workstation sink - no other sink.

@patricia - Do you have any photos of your back to back sinks?

@msjoan - thanks for the tip! I’ll take a look.

This might be a better source for your sink faucet workstation.

@la_la girl - I’m so glad it’s working for you! Would you mind sharing a photo, if it’s not too much trouble?

for sure - here are a few - folks on here always get fired up about all the accessories that come with the workstation sinks - we just use the large cutting board... we entertain a lot and when I need more counter space by the sink I just place the cutting board in the sink ledge and it extends the counter - so I find the set-up really flexible

thinking of installing a 45" wide workstation sink (Delta Rivet -

That's an awful lot of sink. It's going to drive up the size of your kitchen /take away your storage. I really don't see any point in going larger than 36"

Would it make sense to install 2 sink faucets?

If you're going that big, yes, go with two faucets; otherwise, the water flow won't reach the far corners.

Nope, work station sinks are the coolest.

Two too-small sinks makes no sense. Wouldn't be big enough to wash those large pots and sheet pans.

I would do it! I don't even see the point of a 45" sink unless you have two faucets. But that combo would be great. Sharing a sink is the major pinch point in multi-cook kitchen.

@la_la Girl Thanks so much! You have such a pretty kitchen. I love the countertop.

Where did you get those faucets? Very unique. I like!

They are ooold Kohler Karbons, long discontinued but I scored some backups off Ebay when these go south

Here are my back to back sinks

Typically, I prefer engaging in detailed discussions with my customers prior to offering any recommendations. However, in this case, I would like to suggest considering the Waterstone extended reach faucet. This faucet provides an impressive 11" reach in its standard "home" position, making it perfectly equipped to accommodate sinks up to 54" long. Furthermore, Waterstone products come with a lifetime functional warranty and are proudly manufactured entirely in the USA. This assures both the quality and longevity of their products. They are much more expensive than most common brands, but you would only have to invest in one with all of the benefits offered exclusively by Waterstone.

Absolutely baffled by the numbers of people, including design pros here on Houzz, who steer clear of large workstation sinks. We put a 42" multi tiered sink into our island a few years ago and it was life changing. I wouldn't dream of doing anything else. If we had a larger island, I'd have gone bigger. We put in one brass Waterstone gooseneck faucet that easily serves the whole sink (fabulous faucet, though expensive) but if I get my way next renovation, I'm going with a 48" Rachiele workstation, and we'll put in two faucets. We use it for prep, washing up, cleaning veggies and even serving toppings for taco and burrito nights. It is SO useful...but I cook a lot for my three kids and we are vegetarian, so tons of veggies and fruits and draining stuff and so on. I keep sliding walnut cutting boards, a drain board, a small shelf with soaps, scrubbers etc on the different tiers...a separate washing up bowl with a drain in the bottom in the left end of sink, garbage disposal on the right. Trash and recyling pullout on the left side of sink and dishwasher drawers next to that. I barely have to move, lol . I also don't have to have my back turned to the room when doing most of my kitchen work, which I love.
