Kitchen Sinks for Granite Countertops
|
A kitchen sink plays an important role in both food preparation and kitchen cleanup, as well as your decision to choose granite countertops. It is, therefore, necessary not only to locate your sink carefully, but also to investigate the available types and sizes of sinks.
SIZES: Single, double and triple bowl sinks are all available for home use. As a rule of thumb, a single bowl sink is sufficient in a kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, but a two bowl sink is needed for hand-washing dishes. Of course, the more bowls in your sink, the more utility you get.
SHAPES The sink bowls can be all the same size or of varying sizes and depths. Deep bowl sinks allow for soaking large pots and pans and filling scrub buckets. Shallow sinks are especially designed to allow installation directly over many types of undercounter dishwashers. Many of the three bowl sinks contain two large compartments to accommodate bulky items and a smaller compartment for waste disposer. Even single bowl sinks are available with an integral garbage disposal compartment.
ACCESSORIES:
In addition to the many choices in sink sizes and shapes, look over the selection of sink accessories, such as cutting boards, drain baskets, electric outlets, fluorescent lights, built-in power units, drainboards, and many more features that these particular sinks have:
