Still can’t decide whether you want a single- or double-bowl kitchen sink? You’re in good company. Search the blogs and bulletin boards and sinks can be as polarizing as politics. You’ll find intelligent, responsible-sounding people on both sides, swearing that their way is the only way to go.
Yes, we’re still talking about sinks.
Fortunately, there is a middle ground. So whether you’re commitment phobic or a committed multitasker, you may not have to choose. A two-bowl sink with a lower center partition can give you the best of both worlds.
Leading US-based sink manufacturer Elkay researched the way people use their sinks and came up with a few innovative answers:
- Their Gourmet line of Aqua Divide™ sinks have a lower center partition that allows pot handles and large pans to extend into the second bowl. So you get the full capacity of a single-bowl sink, with the flexibility of separate bowls.
- Their Work Bench™ sinks have wider partitions, giving you a space to dry items or rest a hot pan.
- Finally, if you’re just looking for separate drying space, a sink with an integrated work surface may do the trick.
When it’s a job offer or a marriage proposal, you have to choose. But relax. When it comes to sinks, you can say “yes” to everything.
