Sinkology 101

Sinks have been around since the beginning of water, whenever that was. Today, a bathroom sink can come in a variety of sizes and configurations. You can choose from one bowl or two bowls. Some kitchen sinks even have three bowls (the show-offs!). But the number of bowls is not the whole picture. Sinks can have deep or shallow bowls, straight or sloped sidewalls, offset drains, under-counter mounts, tile edging, or self-rimming. They can be made of porcelain, stainless steel, Corian, or cast iron. And you can get sink in virtually any color to match your decorating taste, including plain white.
