Every Kitchen needs a sink

Nelson Tile and Stone would love to help educate you on sinks, sell you your new sink and accessories for it.

Kitchen sinks cost from $100 to $4000 so there is a wide range of options available when you go look. One of the first things you need to figure out is how much space you have in your sink area which will ultimately define how big a kitchen sink you can buy. Sink materials are another consideration when buying a kitchen sink. You will have to choose between stainless steel, solid surface, copper, acrylic, enamel on cast iron, enamel on steel or vitreous China (Fireclay).

Under mount sinks run from $200 to $1000 and are best used with solid surface countertops like marble, soapstone, or granite. The sink itself mounts under the countertop (hence the name) giving you a sleek, seamless look. Owners say cleanup is simple since you can just wipe crumbs or spills right into the sink. Nelson Tile and Stone will install the sink when they are fabricating your countertops.

Top-mount kitchen sinks are also referred to as drop-in or self-rimming. Top-mount sinks are often used with laminate or tile countertops.

Apron front farmhouse sinks look great in country style kitchens or more traditional kitchens. The sink itself is most often just a single deep-bowl design with the faucet coming in from a wall mount or the countertop.

Stainless steel sinks are the most popular simply because they won't chip, rust, stain, or fade. Stainless steel sinks come in 18-23 gauges - the lower the gauge the thicker the steel will be. The high end stainless steel kitchen sinks are made with 18 and 19 gauge stainless steel. You will find that the lower gauge stainless steel sinks deaden sounds better when objects are dropped into the sink and they are more dent resistant as well. Homeowners like stainless steel sinks since they are very sanitary and come in a variety of finishes - brushed, satin, and shiny mirrored. The solid surface style sinks are a great way to blend that new granite countertop from Nelson Tile and Stone in with your kitchen sink. Solid surface kitchen sinks are offered in lots of colors so you get a seamless look with your countertops.
