What Kind Of Farmhouse Sink Is Best?

Tuesday, January 14, 2014 19:15

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Our kitchen remodel is in full swing!

We have decided to cut out our exterior wall and add a few feet to our kitchen.

This went from a pretty basic remodel to a much bigger & much more expensive project than we originally planned! How does that happen?

I hope it’s worth it in the end!

If you saw my last post, a farmhouse sink is a must.

It was much harder to pick one out than I anticipated.

Should we place it as an undermount sink? Fireclay?

One single bowl or two? Most important, cost?

Let me tell ya, these vary in cost quite a bit!

At first, I was going to go with the Ikea farmhouse sink because it has the look I love & it is hundreds of dollars cheaper than most…

It also looks great and I’ve read a lot of good reviews, but the only problem is it has to be placed on top of the counters like the picture below.

I was fine with that, but my mom talked me out of it for two reasons:

1-You can’t just wipe the counter right off into the sink because of the ridge.

2- The ridge can gather dirt & grime over time.

My mom’s sink (Not an Ikea sink) has this problem and it’s growing mold. She can’t get it clean. So, I decided to go with an undermount sink.

Then I started reading about fireclay sinks, which are beautiful!

This one is over $2,000 dollars, so it was out of my price range!

They vary in price, but then I got worried as I researched them a little more because they can crack.

I also read you should have a special disposal because the shaking of the motor could crack the sink too.

So, then I started researching some more and came across this article. It was so helpful.

It talks about the difference between fireclay sinks & cast iron sinks.

They each have pros & cons.

After reading it, I decided to go with a cast iron sink.

They are sturdy & because of the enamel coating it won’t stain as easily either.

It is a heavy sink, so it will need and extra support under the cabinet when we install it.

This is the one I bought…

source

It’s made by Kohler and is part of their Whitehaven Collection.

I purchased mine HERE.

I got it during the Black Friday sale.

This is how it looks installed…

I’ll let you know how I like it after it’s installed.

Has anyone else purchased this sink? I’d love to here if it’s been a good sink!
