Sink

Kitchen sinks come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, materials and price ranges. The standard for most kitchens is the double-bowl sink, which is 33-by-22 inches in size. There are lots of options in bowl configurations, including two bowls of equal size and depth, bowls of unequal width or different depths and sinks with one very large bowl and one small one that's primarily designed for the garbage disposal. Sinks mount in one of two places - above the counter or below it. Above-counter installations are more common, and are easier to install. Below-counter mounting offers a somewhat less obtrusive appearance and easier cleaning, but the sinks are more expensive and more difficult to install.
