Double Bowl Sinks

Double Bowl Sinks

A foundational and simple choice when it comes to deciding on a sink is a single or double bowl. The double bowl is a classic and traditional sink with one basin with a divider going down the middle that separates the basin into two spaces. Double bowl sinks can come in a variety of materials, shapes, sizes, and styles. They are ideal for heavy kitchen use such as food prep. They also provide greater access to the garbage disposal than a typical one-bowl sink. The general layout is the same in that double bowls are made up of one basin, but there is simply a divider going down the middle.

BENEFITS

Divide and conquer! With two separate basin areas, this makes separating dirty dishwater and clean water for rinsing easier than ever. Food prepping has also never been easier than with a double bowl sink, perfect for decreasing the risk of cross-contamination. This is especially ideal for commercial kitchens. Another benefit of double bowl sinks is that they have an easily-accessible garbage disposal. 

AESTHETICS

A large and useful design, there is really no going wrong with a double-bowl sink. These can be made out of more simple material, or be built with tons of features for a distinguished look. Discuss your needs with CopperSmith expert brand specialists today about the kind of double bowl CopperSmith sink that would suit your home. They tend to take up a bit more space but in larger kitchens, this can be appreciated.  One bowl can come in a classic porcelain oval-shaped sink or a large copper basin. There are tons of choices for designing how you want your single bowl to look and function. Many trending vessels and oval-styled sinks only come in one bowl, as these are easier to sit upon the counter and provide a more minimal and sleek look.

FUNCTION

Versatile, and easily divide and conquer with the double bowl sink. This choice is perfect for conquering food prep and dish soaking at once. They provide optimal function in large kitchens or commercial kitchen settings.

CLEANLINESS

Generally easy to clean, double and single bowl sinks don’t differ too much in terms of their cleaning process. There only real difference is sizing and that there is a divider down the middle of a double bowl sink. The cleaning process for double or single bowl sinks will rely more on the kind of material your sink is made out of. A material such as brass may not be ideal for someone looking for an easy-to-clean sink, such as porcelain or stainless steel. If easy cleaning is at the top of your list, CopperSmith designs stellar under-mount sinks known for their cleanliness and made out of antibacterial stainless steel. Copper is also a very good material for cleaning in general because bacteria die very quickly after periods of sitting on the surface.

EVOLVING LOOKS

Thinking about the lifespan of your one bowl sink and the evolution of looks over time is important when choosing a sink finish. Copper is known as a living material and even increases in value over time for its evolutionary look that is loved on the antique market. Brass is another material that although tougher to clean, is notorious for its long lifespans sometimes over 30+ years.

AFFORDABILITY

On average, double bowl sinks tend to be a bit pricier. Although you are paying for a bit more material and potentially a harder installation process. This doesn't mean every double bowl sink is more expensive than every single bowl sink though. CopperSmith styles, sizes, and materials of the sink all play a role in figuring out a price estimate.
