We wrap up the kitchen portion of our Buyer’s Guide series with one last finishing touch: the kitchen faucet. Arguably one of the most eye-catching pieces in a kitchen, outside of the sink of course, the faucet has the power to bring beautiful, functional style to the kitchen. The thing is, there are many types of faucets available today. And with so many to choose from, it can be hard to pick just one. Today, we share three tips to help you narrow your search. 1. Find the right fit first.Before you fall for one particular faucet, let’s talk about mounting style. If you found your perfect kitchen sink years ago or love your current countertop and want to simply trade out your existing faucet, you’ll need to choose a faucet that has the same number of mounting holes. You might not have noticed this before, but faucets come in one-hole settings, two-hole, three, or even more. When you work with what you’ve got, this can be an easy – and inexpensive – upgrade. Have your eyes on a sleeker sink style with fewer mounting holes? The good news is that you can still replace your faucet without having to make any other major upgrades. Many new faucets on the market come with an escutcheon plate, aka a deck plate at the base, that will cover up any unnecessary holes for a single-handled faucet style. 2. Next, figure out the best functionality for you.Picture how you’ll use your sink every day. You’ll want to choose a faucet that will work with you, not against you. If you tend to have your hands full, go for a single-handed faucet. This design allows you to easily operate the faucet while working with your other hand. We love how it keeps the faucet cleaner and your hands freer. It’s no wonder that this is the most popular type today. Even better? There are even hands-free faucets that feature an activated sensor for totally touchless use. If precise temperature control is more important to you, look for a double-handled faucet. With one knob dedicated to hot water and another purely for cold, you can get better, more customized temperature adjustment. 3. Finally, it’s time to style.Like we discussed in last week’s post on kitchen sink drains, when shopping for a kitchen accessory, it’s important to coordinate materials and finishes with the entire space. Even if your drawer pulls are matte black and your fridge is stainless steel, keep the drain and faucet finish consistent. With that in mind, you have the freedom to show your personal style, from traditional with elegant curves to sleek and modern with an impressive spout height. No matter what style you choose, you’ll want to select a sink faucet that will withstand the test of time. You can trust that every Sinkology All-In-One Kit includes a quality faucet that will look great and work well for years to come. We hope this Buyer’s Guide has helped you put the finishing touches on your kitchen sink.

So, you bought your kitchen sink. This means you’re ready to get started, right? Not exactly. But, you wouldn’t be the first to assume so. When homeowners purchase their kitchen sink, many breathe a sigh of relief, thinking, “Finally.” But selecting a kitchen sink is only just the beginning. Without functional attachments like drains and faucets, a sink would simply stay a decorative piece. Now, if the thought of having to select accompanying accessories sends you deep into decision fatigue, keep reading. Over the next two weeks, we’ll give our recommendations for what to look for when selecting these finishing touches, starting with kitchen drains. 1. Find a drain that fits your needs.Fist thing’s first: select a drain that will help you use your kitchen sink best. For example, if you want your kitchen sink to connect to a garbage disposal, you’ll need a special drain made for this purpose. But don’t worry, specialty doesn’t mean hard to find. Sinkology disposal drains are compatible with most InSinkErator disposals and are easy to install. If your kitchen isn’t equipped with a garbage disposal or one side of your double-basin sink doesn’t connect to a garbage disposal, look for a drain that will help you tackle your biggest stack of dirty dishes and prevent clogs from everyday buildup. Sinkology strainer drains have a removable basket strainer that keeps food debris out of your pipes when rinsing and a stopper that seals water in the basin while soaking. 2. Make your finish a perfect match.This next tip you might find to be a little more exciting. Once you know how you’ll use your drain, it’s time to think beyond just the practical use and take your kitchen style into consideration. We believe that the kitchen drain should always accentuate the kitchen sink. Now, at first, it might seem like this is an unnecessary detail. After all, the drain is attached to the bottom of the basin, hidden beneath the countertop. But we’ve found a purposeful drain is difficult to overlook. Picture an antique bronze sink drain that blends seamlessly into a copper sink basin or a matte black drain that picks up on the trendy matte finish of a modern Pfister faucet, updated cabinet pulls and high-end appliances. Then, compare that to a hodge-podge of materials and finishes from basin to countertop. Isn’t it easy to see that a beautifully coordinated drain is worth the effort? 3. Simplify the selection process.When in the middle of a kitchen remodel or new home construction project, most homeowners will do anything to get to the finished product sooner. Rather than taking the time to shop around, you can choose just one All-in-One Kit. The Sinkology All-In-One Kits take the guesswork out of pairing the perfect drain with your preferred kitchen sink. All you’ll need to do is select your sink and determine which drain type you need. Then, we’ll recommend the add-ons you’ll need to complete your kitchen sink upgrade in one curated kit. We hope this Buyer’s Guide has helped you understand the drain selection process better. If you have specific questions about our drains, contact us.

Via https://www.sinkology.com/blog/kitchen-drains-buyers-guide/ Last week, we gave you our best tips for finding a sink that’s fit for everything from handwashing your most delicate laundry to tackling your biggest messes. Today, we’ll share the three steps to take when selecting a bathroom sink. Your bathroom sink sees a lot of action day in and day out, beyond basic handwashing. As a central part of your everyday routines, it’s important to contemplate which sink style will work best in your space – whether that be a powder room or master bathroom – before buying. But this process doesn’t have to be a time-consuming task. Simply follow these three steps: Measure the space you’re working with. The bathroom sink is the centerpiece to your bathroom, so it needs to be sized accordingly. If it’s too large, you risk overpowering the space. Or, if the sink is too small, it will make the wrong statement. That’s why we recommend taking this first step before starting your sink shopping process. Determine the best size of sink for your bathroom where water supply connections are available. Measurements might include:
Decide how your sink will be installed. Once you know what will work in your space, you’ll need to decide how it will get there. Most people jump right into picking out the look of the sink, but before you get ahead of yourself, think about whether this is something you feel comfortable taking on yourself or hiring out. Your answer to this question will determine which installation type you should explore before falling for a specific style. Let’s break it down in greater detail. If you are looking for a sink that is attached to a vanity countertop, consider:
If you don’t plan on having a full vanity with lower cabinetry, consider: Pedestal
Wall-mounted
Select a sink material. Now, it’s time for the fun stuff. When you picture a bathroom sink, chances are a crisp white sink first comes to mind. That’s because vitreous china is the most used material for bathroom sinks. The clean look is incredibly timeless and durable. But that seems rather boring to us. After all, the bathroom sink has the potential to be the room’s centerpiece. For something a little more special than standard, choose from high-quality materials like:
There’s a lot to consider when finding the perfect bathroom focal point. But when you break it down step by step, you’ll find the bathroom sink shopping process to be a breeze.

Via https://www.sinkology.com/blog/bathroom-sinks-buyers-guide/ Last week, we dove into what to look for when choosing a bathtub. This week, we’re switching gears and exploring the best sink styles for the laundry room. Even if you depend on your washer and dryer to take care of all your clothes, a sink in the laundry room can be a lifesaver when taking care of things like:
Many use their bathtub or kitchen sink for these tasks. But frankly, we find it to be a real pain (in the back) with all the bending over, the never-ending mess that trails into the kitchen and bathroom, the clogged drains from pet hair, mud or whatever else is stuck on. Laundry room sinks keep the mess and pain away. Given all they can do, it’s no surprise that these sinks are also known as utility sinks. But which materials will withstand all this wear and tear? Our top two materials for laundry room sinks are: Stainless steelThis incredible metal is perfect for tackling the dirtiest cleanups. The natural metallic surface makes it difficult for bacteria to adhere to and survive, helping it stay cleaner, no matter what you throw at it. Not only that, the striking look of stainless steel suits many room styles, creating everything from a premium look with a high-shine finish to a more industrial feel with brushed metal. FireclayThis trusted material is incredibly durable, meaning it will withstand the wear and tear that comes with taking care of the toughest jobs in the laundry room. We especially love an all-white apron-front style, which gives any laundry room a quintessential farmhouse feel. When selecting your sink material, just make sure it is equipped for more intense cleanup that kitchens and bathrooms don’t typically take on. Copper, for example, should never come into contact with abrasive chemicals that are common with laundry care. No matter the material you choose, it’s important to determine what size will serve you best. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all sort of project. In fact, you really don’t need to have an expansive laundry room to enjoy the benefits of a utility sink. Think about how you’ll *actually* use your sink before selecting:
No matter how big your laundry room sink is or what it’s made of, decide where you’ll install your sink before you begin. Convenience should be your number one concern.
Utility sinks make laundry day easier and everyday life cleaner. If you have questions about choosing the right sink style for your laundry room, contact us.

The post The Sinkology Laundry Room Sink Buying Guide appeared first on Sinkology. Via https://www.sinkology.com/blog/laundry-room-sink-buying-guide/ Recently, we introduced our 2022 Buying Guide series, covering all things kitchen accessories. This week, we’ll talk bathroom tubs. Call it a bathtub, soaking tub or your kids’ favorite splash zone, we at Sinkology refer to this bathroom piece as an absolute necessity. Why? It is the most beautiful bathroom focal point and best relaxing getaway. But what makes a bathtub right for you and your family? That depends. Today, we’ll share what to look for when shopping for a bathtub. First, you’ll need to determine how you will use your tub. Some families are looking for a convenient alternative to showering while others seek a spa-worthy experience in a daily soak. You might fall somewhere in the middle. With your everyday use in mind, consider the following: Dimensions Standard tubs are around 60 inches long, 32 inches wide and 18 inches deep. If you’re new to the bathtub game, we recommend you “dip your toes” with a smaller style before committing to a more expensive, extra-deep soaking tub. More than anything else, keep comfort at the forefront. Will your tub be big enough for your body? Or will it be too big, forcing you to stretch uncomfortably as you bathe your little one? Shape Rectangular tubs are the most common when it comes to bathtub shape because they fit easily into most bathrooms. If you have the square footage, uniquely shaped tubs such as oval and round take an ordinary bathtub and make it an art gallery-worthy piece. Of course, how a bathtub looks is just the beginning. Assess whether your body will feel supported and comfortable before committing to a particular tub shape. Location The most popular rectangular bathtub shape is typically installed directly to three surrounding walls. These alcove tubs, also known as recessed tubs, are the perfect safe-spacing solutions as a two-in-one, bath-and-shower combo. Freestanding tubs, on the other hand, are, as the name gives away, freestanding. You can find these tubs in the middle of a bathroom or attached to just one wall. Material There are many materials used in bathtubs, including:
Plastic bathtubs offer great design flexibility because they can be molded into many shapes. This is the lightest weight tub available and is also surprisingly durable, thanks to a coating of fiberglass or acrylic.
Cast-polymer bathtubs are made to look like high-end materials like marble and granite. Though it’s more expensive than acrylic, customizable and available in a range of colors, it’s actually less resilient than plastic tubs. Over time, the cast-polymer becomes more brittle and prone to cracking.
Copper is our most favorite tub material here at Sinkology because it takes the best bathtub benefits to a whole new level. A copper bathtub:
Extra’s If a standard tub simply won’t do, look for a whirlpool bathtub to take your soak up a notch. These specialty soaking tubs feature jets that transform the tub into a relaxing jacuzzi experience. Now that you have a better idea of what you’re looking for in a bathtub, browse the Sinkology copper bathtub collection. If you have additional questions during your search, contact us.

The post The Sinkology Bathroom Tub Buying Guide appeared first on Sinkology. Via https://www.sinkology.com/blog/bathtub-buying-guide/ This week kicks off our new 2022 Buying Guide series. Over the next few weeks, we’ll break down the top products that help you get the most out of your kitchen and bathroom sinks. Today, we’ll share the accessories your kitchen simply can’t do without. Though considered “extra” to some, we at Sinkology firmly believe that kitchen accessories are an absolute necessity. With the right tools, you can extend the life of your sink and enjoy every use. Deck it out Your kitchen sink is surely perfect on its own. But add-ons can make it all the more amazing. You know and love your kitchen sink as a functional staple in your kitchen, but with a few accessories, it can support even more everyday kitchen tasks.
The kitchen faucet is a preferred way to personalize the style and usability of the kitchen sink. We’ll have a separate buying guide dedicated to faucets, but there are additional pieces along with the faucet that can be installed to make the sink experience all the sweeter.
It’s clear how accessories like these bring so much to the kitchen sink, but sometimes the best extra’s aren’t even seen.
Care for it Accessorizing doesn’t stop with attachments. If you love your sink as much as we do, you know a little TLC is not a splurge but an absolute necessity. Like you, your sink needs specialized care. No, it doesn’t make it high maintenance. You just need to know what it needs. Fireclay sinks, for example, are made to handle life’s biggest messes and daily uses. To keep it looking its best, it just needs a bit of routine cleaning. When choosing cleaning products, avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners and stick with soap and water. Rather than intense steel wool or metal-based cleaning pads, opt for a gentler scrubber that thoroughly cleans stubborn, stuck-on leftovers without scratching your sink’s smooth finish. Copper sinks, on the other hand, get better with age, both in beauty and in strength, thanks to its naturally occurring patina. When caring for a copper sink, you’ll want to find a product that works with the patina, rather than against it. Look for products that add a layer of protection and boosts the shine of the copper sink’s finish instead of stripping it away. Stainless steel is a popular sink material, given its natural resistance against bacteria. Bottom sink grids make for a great addition to these high-shine, low-maintenance basins. Bottom grids provide a protective barrier between your dirty dishes and sink. Heat-resistant and incredibly durable, each can be personalized with extra accessories that make cleanups even easier. No matter the material you have, look for accessories that make cleanup faster and easier. A convenient sponge holder that attaches directly to the bowl will keep everything in reach and prevent you from putting off this important step. Kitchen accessories make life in the kitchen easier and more enjoyable. Now, explore some of our favorite kitchen accessories on our website. _____________________________________________________________________ If you have any additional questions during your search for the perfect copper, fireclay farmhouse sink or crafted stainless steel sink, our Sinkologists are here to help.

Emily is here to share some recipes she has created exclusively for the Sinkology blog that reflect her view of a copper sink: simple, timeless, affordable, and beautifully rustic. Some of my favorite recipes are the ones that replace a store-bought staple. This Maple Vinaigrette is one of those recipes. Salad dressing is always something I have on hand â itâs a grab and go necessity. But homemade is so easy and so much more delicious.
Homemade Vinaigrette :: The Possibilities
Homemade dressing is adaptable to seasons and taste preferences and is so easy to make. The basic vinaigrette is a balance of sweet, salt, acid and oil. Beyond those elements, you can add flavors through:
Not only is this Maple Vinaigrette superior in flavor â it comes together in under 5 minutes. Add all the ingredients to a small mixing bowl and vigorously whisk to combine, taste and add additional seasonings if needed. Use the vinaigrette immediately or store in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
Homemade Vinaigrette :: The Basics
With all the options and combinations, itâs important to understand the basic recipe for making a vinaigrette dressing (and I think you will be surprised at just how easy it is!) ¼ c of each :: oil, sugar + vinegar ½ t of each :: salt, pepper + herb/onion Itâs such a delight when a short list of ingredients is combined to make a delicious, simple, classic recipe. I especially love this Maple Vinaigrette, and intentionally chose extra dark pure maple sirup for itâs deep, smoky notes. With the added herbs and shallots plus the mild oil and vinegar, this dressing is a wonderful compliment to any salad or as a drizzle for grilled chicken or tuna steak or even as a marinade for steak!

When it comes to upgrading a bathroom, cosmetic renovations can be quite costly. (Let’s not even think about making any structural improvements for the same of making an inexpensive upgrade.) Moving major plumbing or installing new cabinetry typically require an expert touch that costs a pretty penny. The trick to any successful cost-effective bathroom remodel is taking on projects on your own that won’t break the bank. For example, you can expect to spend thousands on a new bathtub or shower alone, not including labor, but only hundreds for a new sink or faucet that you could install on your own. It’s true, you can get the same high impact look you love for a bargain when you make purposeful improvements. Take a quick scan of your bathroom: What catches your eye the most? Does a portion of your bathroom stand out in a not-so-great way?
Is it at eye-level? How about your bathroom surfaces? Could your floors afford a refresh? Whatever you see, start there.
Our Top Efficient Eye-Level Improvements Treat your walls like a blank slate, no matter what’s currently cluttering them.
Our Favorite Surface Upgrades Forget a full countertop trade-out and stick with what’s on the surface instead.
Our Most Recommended Floor Fixes This improvement will feel as easy as walking on a cloud.
Bathroom remodels can be a bargain. Simply set your sights on what’s most important to you, what price is realistic for your budget and when you’d like to have it completed by. With those things in mind, your new-and-improved bathroom look will be ready before you know it. _____________________________________________________________________ If you have any additional questions during your search for the perfect copper, fireclay farmhouse sink or crafted stainless steel sink, our Sinkologists are here to help.

The post Budget-Friendly Bathroom Remodel appeared first on Sinkology. Via https://www.sinkology.com/blog/budget-friendly-bathroom-remodel/ When shopping for the right sink for your kitchen, the basin rightfully takes center stage. The reality is that although the actual sink itself might be the biggest focal point, accessories like drains are critical to creating the look and style that you love. Like every rainbow needs rain, every sink needs a drain, and there are some critical factors to consider when selecting the right drain for your sink.
Which Type of Drain is Right for Me?Stopper Drain This type of drain is perfect for multi-purpose double basin sinks. On the one hand, the stopper itself creates a perfect seal so you can fill the basin without the risk of leaking when soaking and handwashing your biggest pots and pans. When the stopper is not in use, the drain is left open to easily access a garbage disposal. Strainer Drain: This type of kitchen sink is ideal for sinks without a disposal, whether in one side of a double bowl or in single bowl sinks. Strainer drains helps to prevent debris from going down the drain and into your plumbing with the help of a removable basket. But don’t let its strainability worry you about leaks. It holds water just as well as the stopper drain. Basic Drain Designs Sinkology carries two unique styles of drains in four finishes. Our classic basic-style drain is the OG in kitchen drains. It was our original design, comes at the most affordable price, and has done the job exceptionally well over the years. Our original drains come in two finishes, Antique Copper and Stainless Steel.
Upgraded Strainer Drain and Disposal StoppersSinkology’s upgraded versions of drains feature a heavier gauge for increased durability as well as a longer body threading to better fit thick sinks like fireclay and granite. This line of design also features an upgrade disposal stopper that allows for straining when the disposal is not in use or to easily prevent all water flow completely to fill the sink with water. This is a great added safety feature to help keep hands and other objects from getting into the disposal. This dual function replaces standard stoppers, which often go unused and simply take up space. Our upgraded drains come in two finishes, Matte Black and Stainless Steel:
No matter which style you choose, all of our drains are designed for easy installation and lasting durability. You’ll love how they pair perfectly with our stainless steel, fireclay and copper sinks. _____________________________________________________________________ If you have any additional questions during your search for the perfect copper, fireclay farmhouse sink or crafted stainless steel sink, our Sinkologists are here to help.

The post Drain Dreams – Which Drain Is Right For You appeared first on Sinkology. Via https://www.sinkology.com/blog/drain-dreams/ Sinkology is proud to present Emily Schuermann, our food-loving guest blogger who runs Food for a Year. Emily is here to share some recipes she has created exclusively for the Sinkology blog that reflect her view of a copper sink: simple, timeless, affordable, and beautifully rustic. Butternut squash is such a beautiful ingredient – both the texture and the flavor add such delight to any recipe. That’s what makes me especially excited to share a twist on the classic spaghetti bake! By adding and exchanging several ingredients it’s as if butternut squash should’ve always been part of a pasta bake recipe! There are a few things you can do to make this recipe very easy to prepare. Butternut Squash Pasta Bake : Let’s do this the easy way!Start by purchasing pre-diced butternut squash in the produce section of your grocery store. If you can’t find pre-diced, then I have a hack for you! Just scroll down to the notes section of the recipe to read my tip. Pre-grated cheese is a handy product if you are short on time. But, if you can spare a few extra minutes, cheese that’s been freshly grated melts so wonderfully that I think it’s definitely worth the effort. Last hack, save some pasta water to loosen up the mixture before baking. This will help the pasta bake from drying out while baking. Butternut Squash Pasta Bake :: Maximum flavors!Between the butternut squash and the fresh sage, the pasta bake is the-perfect-meal! Cheesy, creamy squash and pasta with a crunchy, fried onion topping – my dream comfort food meal for sure! And the all-in one bowl preparation and all-in one pan baking makes this recipe a great weeknight meal solution too! For a smaller family, divide this into two portions. Bake one pan and freeze another for later use!
Butternut Squash Pasta Bake
InstructionsPreheat oven to 375°. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (except* 2 c Colby Jack cheese + 1/2 c gruyere cheese + fried onions). Stir well so that all ingredients are evenly distributed. Place the half of the butternut squash and spaghetti mixture into a prepared, buttered, baker (I used a 10″ x 3″ round cast iron baker). Sprinkle with 1 c Colby Jack cheese and then add remaining pasta mixture. Top with remaining cheeses and fried onions. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top. If top begins to get too dark, place a piece of foil loosely atop the casserole and continue baking until the center is bubbly and the cheese is melted. Serves 8 NoteIf using a fresh whole butternut squash, use a fork to pierce the skin of the squash about every 3″ all over. Place the squash on it’s side in the microwave and microwave for 2-3 minutes. This will help make peeling easier. Once microwaved, chop the neck portion away from the bulb portion. Peel the neck portion then slice in 1/2″ slices. Cut in 1/2″ slices and the rotate 90° to make the final cut, forming a cube. Place 3 c diced squash in a microwaveable bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until tender throughout. _____________________________________________________________________ If you have any additional questions during your search for the perfect copper, fireclay farmhouse sink or stainless steel sink, our Sinkologists are here to help.
