5 Tips to Help You Choose a Double Bowl Kitchen Sink

Purchasing double kitchen sinks for your kitchen remodel will provide you with numerous functional benefits and also offers design flexibility. This is because they are offered in different sizes and shapes. They are also offered in different materials. The double sink kitchen can be installed under the counter or built-in above the counter. The installation is mainly based on personal preferences. This means that there are certain guidelines that you need to follow to make the sink work for your home design.

1. First, if the counter is made of soapstone, granite, or any other specific luxurious material, care must be taken that a large part of the counter surface is visible. Mounting it below will be the best option in this case.

2. Second, the selection of the sink will depend mainly on the intended use. You should also take into account the style and design of your kitchen. Typically this includes the selection of flooring, cabinets and appliances used in the kitchen. This means that the sink should complement rather than distract from the look and beauty you have for your kitchen.

3. Double sinks come in many varieties. The only common feature among all is the separation of the sinks by means of a divider. Some of the basins split equally while others have a 70/30 or 60/40 splitter. The larger part of the sink is not only wider but also deeper compared to the other part. Among all these types of double sink partitions, the 60:40 is the most favored.

4. Another important consideration when choosing a double kitchen sink for your home is the material. Although stainless steel is the most common choice, flatware can easily scratch it, thus ruining its appearance. To solve this problem, you can invest in a sink grate, which protects it from scratches. This will also improve the longevity of the sink. In this way, you can use the stainless steel sink to complement any style you select for your kitchen interior.

5. For those who do not prefer stainless steel, double sinks made of cast iron can be an excellent option.
