Frequently Asked Questions
Discover our best-selling custom kitchen sinks crafted for elegance, durability, and timeless appeal.
Will my faucet fit with the sink I choose?
This is an incredibly important topic, especially considering our unique 18" wide sinks. These sinks are designed to accommodate half sheet pans and steam oven trays right on the top tier of our workstation sinks. Look for faucets with a reach longer than 10", or faucets that are angled toward the user. This is the main reason why we have represented Waterstone Faucets as our only faucet line. They offer a huge group of extended reach faucets, boasting 11" to 11 1/8" reach. Faucets are generally installed 2" behind the bowl. In the case of Waterstone, that would leave the water dropping 9" into our 18" bowl. I have noticed that our modern 9750 faucet is also slightly angled toward the user, making it even more ergonomically comfortable! As a side note, we offer the best undersink filtration system on the market. It will filter the cold side of your main faucet and has enough flow to split off to a hot tank or refrigerator. Read about it here.
How are you able to fit a 36" sink in a 36" cabinet?
We can fit a 36" sink into a 36" cabinet thanks to our precise craftsmanship and unique design. Unlike non-custom sinks, which need to be glued and clipped by countertop fabricators, our custom sinks rest on the flanges on the left and right sides of the cabinet for support. This eliminates the need for drilling, making the installation easier for everyone. For more details and a video, click here.
What’s the right depth for a kitchen sink?
There is no specific depth for everyone, just like there is no specific shoe size for everyone. I have done a great deal of research to determine the optimal sink depth depending on your height and what kind of sink you are considering.
How many of your products are made in the USA?
We do everything in our power to buy products made in the USA
Our wooden cutting boards are crafted in Ohio by the Amish. All of our butcher grade cutting boards and boards that hold accessories are made in the USA. Waterstone Faucets are made in the USA. Almost all of the machinery in our shop is made in the USA. We go out of our way to buy American. Don't be fooled by companies indicating they are "made" in California and do not indicate they are also made in the USA. California has enacted a law allowing companies to manufacture parts outside of the USA, assemble them in California, and then claim that their products are made in California.
