Frequently Asked Questions
Discover our best-selling custom kitchen sinks crafted for elegance, durability, and timeless appeal.
How do I choose the right size sink for my kitchen?
Selecting the right sink size is critical, and we're here to guide you through it with a personalized consultation. First, share your kitchen's floor plan to lay the groundwork. Next, we'll schedule a Zoom meeting for an in-depth conversation about your kitchen and needs. We’ll ask questions about your lifestyle, cooking habits, family size, and specific requirements. Leveraging my years of kitchen design experience, we'll offer tailored suggestions on sink sizes. By the end of our talk, you'll know exactly which sink size best suits your kitchen and lifestyle.

Are zero radius corners difficult to clean?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions when consumers are inquiring about our stainless steel sinks. The answer is generally yes, they are difficult to clean if the sink is not fashioned like ours. We incorporate a Micro-Weld™ in the vertical corners that is as smooth as glass, making our corners exceptionally easy to clean. I have asked hundreds of customers to report back if they feel the corners in our sinks are difficult to clean. 100% of those who have responded told us that the corners are very easy to clean.
Beyond that, we offer a 1/8" radius corner as an option. You can see both of these options here.
What size sink should I choose for my kitchen?
Every family and every home should have a size appropriate kitchen sink. There is no specific size, just like there are no specific sized homes for every family. Choose the size that will accommodate the needs of the family with an eye on proportional size to the overall kitchen size and the home size. I am more than glad to assist you with answering this question via a Zoom call where we can take a look at your kitchen and home plans together. During the call, I will simply ask questions and offer options. You will be the one making decisions based on having the proper information in order to make an informed decision.
Will Pots And Pans Dent My Copper Sink?
Denting is unlikely in our copper sinks, very likely in others. We use a heavy 14 gauge cold rolled copper for our sinks. Cold rolled copper is significantly harder than annealed copper (which can dent and bend easily). Our cold rolled virgin copper is up to 8 times stronger than annealed copper.
