Kitchen Sink Buying Guide: Bowl, Mounting and Material

Choose a kitchen sink by bowl configuration, installation type, material and accessories.

Choose bowl configuration

• Single bowl sinks suit large trays and simple washing-up zones.
• Double bowl sinks help separate rinsing, soaking and prep tasks.
• Drainer boards are useful when bench space and drying workflow matter.

Match the mounting type

• Top mount sinks are common for many benchtops and renovations.
• Undermount sinks create a clean bench line but need suitable benchtop material.
• Farmhouse sinks need cabinet planning before the cabinetry is built.

Check accessories and tapware

• Confirm waste position, bowl depth and cabinet clearance.
• Plan mixers, filter taps or pull-out sprays together with the sink.
• Consider grids, boards and strainers if they improve daily kitchen use.
