Sink Styles

Vintage Tub & Bath has farmhouse sinks that come in various styles like drop-in, farmhouse, and wall mount.

Drop-In Farmhouse Sinks

Drop-in farmhouse sinks are installed into a pre-cut hole in your countertop. This makes for easy installation and maintenance, making it a great choice for all kitchens.

Farmhouse Sinks

A regular farmhouse sink has deep basins and exposed fronts that slightly extend past the countertop edge. Due to the ample space, farmhouse sinks are great for washing large pots, pans, and dishes while adding a rustic feel to your kitchen.

Wall Mount Farmhouse Sink

Wall mount farmhouse sinks are attached directly to the wall and do not need to be surrounded by a countertop. This is ideal for small kitchens or utility areas where there is not a lot of space. This style maximizes floor and counter space, making it both practical and visually appealing.

Materials and Finishes

Vintage Tub & Bath carries farmhouse sinks in an array of different materials so you can pick which one best fits your kitchen aesthetic. These materials include cast iron, copper, fireclay, porcelain, stainless steel, and vitreous china. The most common material for farmhouse sinks is fireclay. This is the most heat and damage resistant material available. These sinks are low main and super easy to clean, making them a perfect fit for any kitchen. Cast iron is also a popular material for these sinks. Cast iron sinks are very durable and their glossy enamel helps resist chipping and fading. Copper sinks give a warm, rustic feel to your kitchen. Copper also naturally kills harmful bacteria making it an amazing material for kitchen sinks. Porcelain and vitreous china sinks have a glossy finish that is resistant to stains and scratches. They both provide a timeless, elegant look while maintaining practicality. Stainless steel sinks are popular for their modern, sleek look while having unmatched durability.

Vintage also has tons of finishes for your farmhouse sink. You can choose from the more classic colors like copper, bronze, black, white, and stainless steel. If you are looking for a more unique finish Vintage has colors like pink, teal, red and green.

Number of Basins and Basin Split

Farmhouse sinks can either be single or double basin sinks. Single farmhouse sinks are an open basin without any dividers. This provides a lot of space for washing large pots, pans, and other kitchen items. Double basin farmhouse sinks have two separate compartments. These compartments can have different basin splits. Vintage carries sinks with basin splits available in 50/50, 60/40, and 70/30. These sinks offer flexibility for multitasking due to their split basins. The choice of basin depends on your preferences and kitchen needs.

What is a farmhouse sink?

A farmhouse sink, also known as an apron-front sink, features a deep basin and a front panel that extends past the edge of the countertop. It’s designed for both style and function, offering a vintage look with modern utility.

What is an apron sink?

An apron sink is another name for a farmhouse sink. The term refers to the exposed front-facing side of the sink, which often protrudes slightly from the surrounding cabinetry. This design makes it easier to reach into the sink and adds a distinctive aesthetic to the kitchen.

How do you mount a farmhouse sink?

Mounting a farmhouse sink involves several steps:

• Measure and Cut the Cabinet: Ensure the base cabinet is the correct size and cut the front panel to accommodate the apron.
• Install Support Frame: Build a support frame inside the cabinet to hold the weight of the sink.
• Place the Sink: Carefully lower the sink into place, ensuring it sits level and flush with the countertop.
• Seal and Connect Plumbing: Apply silicone sealant around the edges and connect the drain and water lines.

Are farmhouse sinks hard to install?

They can be more complex to install than drop-in or undermount sinks due to their size and weight. Custom cabinetry or modifications are usually required.

What materials are farmhouse sinks made from?

Popular materials include fireclay, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, and granite composite. Each offers unique benefits in terms of durability, maintenance, and appearance.

Do farmhouse sinks require special cabinets?

Yes, most farmhouse sinks need a specially designed base cabinet or modifications to standard cabinets to support their weight and accommodate the apron front.

Are farmhouse sinks practical for everyday use?

Absolutely. Their deep basins are ideal for washing large pots and pans, and the ergonomic design reduces strain while working at the sink.

What size farmhouse sink should I get?

Farmhouse sinks typically range from 24 to 36 inches wide. Choose a size based on your cabinet width and kitchen layout. A 30-inch sink is a common choice for standard kitchens. Check out our buying guide for more information.

Do farmhouse sinks come with one or two bowls?

Yes, you can choose between single-bowl and double-bowl farmhouse sinks. Single bowls offer more space, while double bowls allow for multitasking.

How do you clean and maintain a farmhouse sink?

Use mild soap and a soft cloth for daily cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, especially on fireclay or copper. Regular maintenance helps preserve the finish and prevent stains.

Can a farmhouse sink be installed in laminate countertops?

It’s possible but more challenging. Laminate may not support the weight of a farmhouse sink without reinforcement. Solid surface or stone countertops are more suitable.

Are farmhouse sinks more expensive than traditional sinks?

They can be more expensive due to their size, materials, and installation requirements, but they also add significant aesthetic and resale value to your kitchen.
