How to Choose A New Kitchen Sink 

Kitchen sinks often become the centerpiece of the kitchen sink. It is where the dishes are rinsed, just as it is where drinking water is poured. With both hygiene and hydration in mind, kitchen sinks from ProSource Wholesale consistently forge that focal point built within the stylish countertop surfaces.

They provide reliability, and with the larger the kitchen, the greater the likelihood that more basins are needed. Whether it is for filling pots or washing produce, the greater number of sinks requires the greater emphasis on providing the highest quality products possible, available at ProSource Wholesale.

Choosing a Sink Type

No matter the size of the kitchen or the basin need, a stylish kitchen sink is only a few choices away. Our design professionals can help determine which sink type will best match budget and style of the space.

Standard
Whether single or double basined, standard kitchen sinks are known for their reliability ideal for large families and used for multiple functions. They have more personalization options that can fit the design of the kitchen. Standard sinks come in traditional, modern, or technical formats, offering customers additional options to make a choice right for them.

Apron-Front
The exposed front-facing side gives apron-front, also known as farmhouse, a recognizable yet trendy style in kitchen sink design. They can be installed above the countertops or undermounted, allowing for easy installation. They offer a classic and roomy area for homeowners to wash dishes, perfect for the modern farmhouse kitchen.

Vessel
The vessel sink screams fashion choice, as it draws the eye in an often-unfamiliar setting for it: the kitchen. More commonly used in guest or secondary bathrooms, its basin sits on top of countertops, requiring a taller faucet, in order to accommodate for the size and style choices. They are a decorative piece that requires additional accommodations when it comes to common kitchen tasks, such as dishwashing or pouring water into a large pot.

Composite/Solid Surface

It is easy to maintain and will not shatter glass when placed in the basin of the sink. Composite and solid surface sinks offer endless customizable options, in terms of appearance, giving homeowners the opportunity to choose the sink that fits their kitchen design vision.
