apron front/farmhouse sink materials
Comments (7)Hi We have had a copper farmhouse sink for a little over a year and we love it! The sink is built like a tank and will most likely outlast everything else in the kitchen. The cleaning of this sink is really easy - just soap and water. Âthat's it with an occassional (maybe once a month) wax to protect the surface. It's the easiest kitchen sink in terms of maintenance that we have ever owned. Besides longevity, one reason we chose this over fireclay was the living finish. We love how our sink has sort of a "personality". It doesn't change much - but it will change somewhat. That is part of the beauty of these sinks. Ânot to mention that they are individually crafted and every one is a bit different. Âand there is just something about the warmth of copper - much more inviting than what we considered the "sterile look" of a white fireclay sink. Although we didn't choose the bow front, I don't think that would be an issue at all. In fact, in the right kitchen, I think they would be stunning. We purchased from Copper Sinks Online (I'll include a link). They were recommended by several folks on this forum at the time and they were certainly outstanding. We had no problem matching a faucet to the finish (Oil Rubber Bronze) and the faucet/sink combo came with a discount. I'm not sure they still have the special going but you might ask. One thing you might check out on their site is the photo gallery. They also had a lot of information there about copper sinks in general. Hope this helps!

Comments (5)Not sure who cluelessincolorado is, but thanks for the link. I can make one that would be almost flush. I can square off the sides of the apron so it can be virtually flush mounted. I hope that helps Taylor....See MorePhotos of 24" farmhouse/apron front kitchen sink?
Comments (5)Here are my existing photos of the Whitehaven 24," color is sea salt and this is the "tall apron" version. I can take others if you want. The sink in the background is the 33" version. FYI if you want anything other than straight white in 24" its a custom order and takes like 2-3 months. Fortunately my contractor and cabinet people were so slow it was a non-issue... hahaha. It's great size for a prep sink, but would be small for a main sink... maybe could see it like in a small apartment with significant space constraints....See MoreAre apron front/farmhouse sinks messy?
Comments (9)"You are obviously not a 5’2” average size and average weight few extra pounds female who has to get close to the sink in order to operate the faucet." No, but I a a 5'5 female with short legs, so not too far off. "Farm sinks are good fit for specific users, but they aren’t a golden ticket for everyone. Trying to pretend there are no drawbacks is a big disservice." Who's pretending there are no drawbacks? Sharing one's positive experience doesn't mean there are no negatives nor that there is a one-size-fits-all. "Those splashes that roll down the sink front NOT get immediately wiped up in most households. The result 5 years later is water damage to that sink base." That is the fault of the user, not a flaw in sink design. IME a non-apron-front sink resulted in under-sink cabinet damage, not the other way around (DH can be splashy and has a tendency not to clean up spills and splashes)....See MoreShannon_WI
