Total disclosure: We LOVE contemporary sinks around here. So if this post comes off a bit too flattering, accept our apologies in advance.   Last week, we promised a close look at our dream sink and we’ve been chomping at the bit to deliver. Can you blame us? Look at this beauty. It’s the kind [...]

Over the next five years, it’s expected that 10% of new homes will include outdoor living areas—and many homeowners are adding fully equipped outdoor kitchens to their existing homes. Naturally, we wondered about how to choose products—particularly sinks—for an outdoor space. So we posed a few questions to Elkay product manager and all-around sink expert, [...]

Earth Day is less than two weeks away (April 22, to be exact). If, like us, you’re thinking about ways to incorporate greener ideas and materials in your new kitchen, start smack-dab in the middle—with your sink. Remember the sustainability mantra: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. A well-made stainless steel sink can contribute to a more environmentally [...]

It’s exciting how many people are embracing the “locavore” approach to eating—choosing foods that are grown and produced locally to eat better, support their regional economy and protect the environment.

We keep talking about sinks, but a sink without a faucet is like peanut butter without jelly, or Brad without Angelina. Let’s assume you already have a sink in mind. What should you think about as you seek a mate for it? You won’t be surprised to find out that we have a few opinions [...]

We’ve had the brains-over-looks conversation here before, so loyal readers will know how we feel about the importance of balancing form and function.

We’re all looking at what’s hot on the market, and we may need a reminder [...]

Now, some people think that since it’s made of metal and has no moving parts or electronics, a sink isn’t likely to present performance issues. But a sink [...]

Most of us would agree—there’s just no room for ick in the kitchen. But many people we’ve talked to turn a blind eye to the bottom of their sinks. Whether it’s a brown tinge that makes your sink look like it has a serious coffee habit, or a ring of black goo embedded around the [...]

We came across a post on a discussion board by someone who is totally annoyed by the photos of kitchen sinks in magazines. We’ve got to say we agree—those pristine kitchens don’t look like real life. There’s never a sponge on the counter. A glass waiting to be washed. Even if there’s food in the [...]

Recently, a question posed by a visitor to Sink.com made us realize that, as with so many things, left-handed people aren’t getting their due in the sink-selecting conversation. So we had a chat with Elkay product manager, Mark Hird, to ask about special considerations for lefties. Sink.com: Are kitchen sinks designed to be left-handed or [...]
