THE KITCHEN SINK

Your guide to finding the best fit for your kitchen sink

The kitchen sink is a key feature in any new kitchen. It is essential for meal prep and refreshment along with keeping our kitchen clean. Although it is practical, that doesn't mean it can't complement your kitchen aesthetic or indeed create a bold statement of its own. 

With so many options and styles, it can be hard to choose the best one for your home. We've compiled details of the styles and finishes that can help elevate a sink from simply being a utility to a fundamental part of the design.
​

Inset sink

Inset sinks sit on top of the worktop and create a frame for the bowl. Sometimes referred to as overmount sinks, they work just as well in traditional kitchens as they do in contemporary ones. 

Due to the design sitting above the worktop, most come with a built-in drainer. This is particularly beneficial if you are installing a laminate worktop as it will protect the surface. 

Available in various materials. 

Undermount sink

An undermount sink is seamless and discreet. It sits perfectly underneath the worktop to create a subtle showpiece. 

Undermount sinks work best with stone, granite and composite materials which are water-resistant. Create a colourful feature with granite or opt for a colour that matches your worktop to give the appearance of a continuous worktop.

Belfast and farmhouse sink

Belfast sinks are traditional and can create a key feature in your kitchen, bringing charming character to your home. You can use a classic ceramic to enhance a shaker style kitchen or create a contemporary feature with a stainless steel sink. 

Stainless steel sinks can come in a variety of finishes, including satin, polished, brushed, natural, dark and Durinox. Durinox is stainless steel that has been blasted with over 1 billion minuscule steel balls at high speed which makes it over twice as durable.
