Frequently Asked Questions
Discover our best-selling custom kitchen sinks crafted for elegance, durability, and timeless appeal.
Do drop-in sinks make it hard to keep counters clean?
We are often asked if it is difficult to wipe countertop messes into the sink. The answer is no. Our sink flanges are only 1/16 of an inch thick. Most importantly, our custom workstation sinks are designed for efficient food preparation, serving, and cleanup directly within the sink area. This eliminates the need to dirty your countertops or wipe debris into the sink from elsewhere.
I live abroad, can you ship a sink to me?
We sure can! We have shipped sinks throughout Europe, Hong Kong, Guam, Egypt, Australia, Canada, and many other areas. Simply give us your precise and complete address, the type and size of sink you are interested in, and we can give you a shipping and crating estimate.
Are Copper Sinks Easy To Care For?
Ours are! If you read the use and care instructions of virtually all imported copper sinks, they will tell you to dry your sink after EVERY use. Who has time for that? There is no need to ever dry our copper sinks. Our sinks are built to drain properly, so standing water is not an issue. Contrary to what you may have heard, our copper sinks do not turn green unless you leave something acidic in the sink. If green shows up, it is easily wiped off with a wet sponge.
Are workstation sinks worth it?
In my opinion, a workstation sink is one of the best investments you can make for your kitchen—especially if you’re someone who cooks regularly or just appreciates a well-organized workspace. Unlike a traditional sink, a workstation sink is built to bring efficiency to every part of meal prep and cleanup. With accessories like cutting boards, colanders, and drying racks that fit right over the sink, you’ll have everything within reach, making it easy to keep counters clear and the kitchen looking tidy.
Personally, I see it as more than just a sink; it’s a tool that changes the way you move through your kitchen. Instead of bouncing back and forth from counter to sink, you’ll have everything right where you need it. For me, that’s worth every penny—it makes life easier, and it adds a whole new level of function to the kitchen.
