Hello & Cast Iron Sinks - Not Farm/Apron
Comments (4)American Standard has a few, but Kohler is the go to vendor for any type of cast iron. If you look at AS, be sure that you don't mistake "Americast" with cast iron. It's totally inferior. Also be aware that modern cast iron without the lead isn't as durable as the older models that you may have experienced in the past. That's a big reason for the popularity of fireclay, which is just a fancy term for "china" sink....See MoreFarm apron sink question
Comments (13)A good friend of mine purchased the fireclay sink in the link below. She loves this sink and has thanked me a few times for steering her in that direction. So far after a year of use, there have been no problems and she claims it is easy to keep clean. Hope this helps.

Comments (3)I don't have any more issues with splashing in my single bowl farmhouse sink than I did with my divided drop in sink. Probably less splashing, if anything, since I can actually fit pots and pans flat in the bottom of the sink to wash them!...See MoreQuestion about sink base cabinets and Apron front/farm sinks
Comments (12)I have almost NO room at all under mine. The garbage disposal just about fills it. In fact, if you look closely on the left door you can see the black marks were it rubs against the inside of the door. The GC had to rout out some relief to get the door to close completely. I also had to carefully wrap all the hanging cords around the drain pipe to clear a bit of storage space above the pipe for the fertilizer and watering bottle for my plants. Still, I got the sink and the look I wanted that has the sink sitting forward, seemingly on the legs (that's what brought the disposal up against the door). Think about what you want under there. I could have gotten a smaller disposer (I compost so use it infrequently). And I don't use a lot of cleaners. I also don't have things under there like instant hot water or a soap dispenser -- just the guts of an airswitch. If you want those things think about where they'll all go. All in all I'm very happy with the look and the storage works for me. But you should be aware going in that it's sparce!...See Moresserra85
