๐Ÿงผ Sinks Guide

Sinks provide water access and drainage for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and utility spaces. This category includes undermount, drop-in, farmhouse, vessel, and pedestal sink designs. Materials range from stainless steel and cast iron to composite, fireclay, and natural stone. Key considerations include bowl configuration (single, double, or triple basin), dimensions, drain location, and mounting method. Kitchen sinks often feature deeper bowls and accessories like cutting boards or colanders, while bathroom sinks prioritize space efficiency and aesthetic integration.
