FAQs about Kitchen Sinks

Q: What is the best size for a Kitchen Sink?

The size of your kitchen sink depends on the overall size of your kitchen counter top. Commonly, a single-bowl sink can be 30-35 inches long, while a double-bowl model can be approximately 45-50 inches. The kitchen sinks actually take up a lot of kitchen space, so you need to choose the kitchen sink size based on your kitchen counter space and your budget. If your kitchen is small, then a single small kitchen sink within 25 inches long will work well and be sufficient for your needs.

Q: Is an Undermount Sink Better than Overmount?

If you are considering the purchase and installation of an overmount sink or an undermount sink here is a basic introduction of these two basic sinks you need to know before buying.

Undermount sink: Undermount sinks; edges are hidden on the bottom of the countertop, fixed by special adhesive, which slightly increases the counter space and makes the counter cleaning easier. It is more time-consuming to install, and the countertop cut-out needs to be polished, so the total cost is relatively high compared to an overmount sink.

Overmount sink: Overmount sink also called a drop-in sink is the most common type of kitchen sink. The rims of the overmount sink sit above the counter, hanging above the counter. The seams between the sink edge and countertop generally need to be filled with silicon to prevent the accumulation of dirt, or water into the cabinet. It is cheaper than undermount sinks and easier to install.

Generally, an overmount sink is easy to install and maintain. An undermount sink takes up less space and requires less time to clean than an overmount product. When it comes down to a choice between the two, it boils down to aesthetic and space considerations.
