Single Bowl Sinks

One of the most foundational and simple options when it comes to deciding on a sink is a single or double bowl. The single bowl is a classic and traditional sink with one basin for washing and function. While single bowl sinks can come in a variety of materials, shapes, sizes, and styles. The general layout is the same in that single bowls do not have a divider down the middle of their unit such as double bowl sinks. They are well-liked for their deep basins made for optimal soaking of pots and pans.

BENEFITS

Take up less counter space and maximize room with the classic one-bowl sink. Choosing a one bowl sink versus a double bowl sink is not too difficult as they each provide their own functions. One of the benefits of a single bowl sink is its ability to take up less counter space, undercabinet space, and storage areas. They fit nicely into kitchens or small bathrooms. Single bowl sinks with large, deep basins provide more room to soak large pots and pans than a standard double bowl sink with a divider down the middle. You may not have two areas for prepping and cleaning, but you will have a deep large basin optimal for soaking pots and pans.

AESTHETICS

A classic and traditional design, there is no going wrong with a one-bowl sink. These tend to be more popular than double bowls simply for their ability to fit into smaller spaces. 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

Made for traditional homes, soaking, smaller counter spaces, and tons of other purposes. One bowl sinks provide versatility and variety to any kitchen, bathroom, or workspace. Workstation sinks often come in one bowl sinks as do bathroom sinks. One bowl is great for soaking large pans that may not fit into a sink with a divider. Although they are not ideal for the separation of food for prep cooking such as a double sink, they provide easy access and are a bit easier to install. CopperSmith will hook you up with the perfect one-bowl sink designed for your needs regardless of style, size, or material finish.

CLEANLINESS

One bowl sinks tend to be easier to clean as their large basin space makes them easy to wipe down and have a total view of its surface. We offer several materials that are made for easy cleaning and antibacterial. 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.
