It Should Be “Everything and the Kitchen Sink”
Sinks are used more than any other fixture or appliance in the home, so they should have the functionality you need and the style you want. Whether you’re updating your kitchen, laundry room, or entertaining area, your sink is important. It’s funny – when building a house or undertaking a remodel, homeowners will carefully consider every design detail and then often take whatever sink the contractor throws in. Chances are, you’ll pay dearly for this “free” sink which will be louder, less durable, and less accommodating than it should be. Elkay offers a winning combination of high-quality materials and innovation backed by a limited lifetime warranty. When you want your sink to keep delivering for years to come, turn to Elkay.
Designing Sinks with the Six S’s
If you’ve ever purchased an engagement ring, you’ve likely heard of the 4 C’s of diamonds. But do you know about the six S’s of sink selection? Remember the sound that water makes – SSSSSS. The six S’s are: size, shape, structure, substance, strength, and sound. When selecting a sink that will meet the needs of you and your family for years to come, first, you want to determine the size of the sink bowl based on your space, your lifestyle, and all the tasks that will happen at your sink. Next, consider how you will use your sink to inform your selection of a shape: single bowl, double bowl, or Aqua DivideTM. You’ll also want to consider the structure – how your countertop material and installation style will work together. Do you need a corner sink, a drop-in sink, a dual mount sink, or a farmhouse sink? Then, it’s time to choose your sink material and strength. Elkay offers options like antimicrobial, fireclay, quartz, quartz composite, copper, cast iron, and stainless steel. Finally, consider the sound. Quality materials lend themselves to a quieter user experience.
Whether you need a sink for a bar or prep area, a bathroom, a laundry or utility room, an indoor kitchen, or an outdoor kitchen, Elkay has you covered. With nearly a dozen different collections to choose from – Circuit Chef, Dart Canyon, Lusterstone Classic, and Quartz Luxe to name a few, you’ll be spoiled for choice. And the selection doesn’t end there – Elkay also offers a wide range of sink-related accessories including bottom grids and baskets, cutting boards, colanders, drains, and interchangeable aprons. Likewise, Elkay produces faucets of every type: standard, flexible, pull-down spray, pull-out spray, pot filler, and semiprofessional for the home chef.
Exclusively Elkay
A thought leader in the industry, Elkay prides itself on innovating products exclusive to their brand. Perfect Drain® is an ingenious and elegant solution for a cleaner sink. The drain is built into the bowl with no gap whatsoever, so your sink is easier to clean and more hygienic. Perfect Drain® works beautifully with garbage disposal units; there’s nowhere else for crumbs to go but down and out. Another Elkay exclusive is the Workstation Sink. If you like the idea of having a meal prep center near your sink or you have limited space in your kitchen, a workstation sink with a built-in ledge for accessories can make your sink work so much harder for you. The ledge allows custom accessories, like a wood cutting board, to fit inside the sink and slide along the top, letting you work directly over your sink. Elkay workstation sinks are available in stainless steel, quartz, and fireclay, so you can have the convenience you want in the material you love.
Dart Canyon® is the first sink of its kind and a testament to Elkay’s passion for ingenuity. This dynamic dual-depth farmhouse sink design meets the needs of everyone, from the little ones to those seeking solutions for aging in place. This attractive stainless steel farmhouse sink is ADA-compliant when properly installed. And speaking of farmhouse sinks, Elkay also offers interchangeable aprons for some farmhouse sinks for the ultimate in convenience and style. You can change the color or material of your sink apron seasonally (or any time). Stainless steel today, fireclay tomorrow!
We Hear You (But Not Your Sink)
When it comes to the craft of making great sinks, Elkay truly thinks of everything. The sound of a kitchen sink is not something buyers typically consider, but they should. Materials like quartz and fireclay are naturally less noisy, and with stainless steel or other metal sinks, a thicker gauge generally means a quieter time at the sink. There are very few sink manufacturers that include sound-deadening pads with their sinks, but Elkay does! A stainless steel sink with sound-deadening pads will greatly help muffle the sound of running water, clattering silverware, and running garage disposals. That’s why, if you’re building or remodeling a room that needs a new sink you should run – not walk! – to Swartz Kitchens & Baths. We’ll listen to all your needs, concerns, and design ideas and help you select everything you need – and the kitchen sink! Contact us today.
