in Selecting Your New Kitchen Sinks and Bar Sinks

You have probably gotten so used to your current kitchen sinks and bar sinks that you may have forgotten how many things there are to consider in selecting them. When it’s time to replace your existing kitchen sink, or when you need new kitchen sinks or bar sinks for your kitchen remodel or your brand new kitchen construction, it’s time to visit the Nu-Way kitchen showrooms. The Nu-Way kitchen specialists will gladly walk you through the decision-making required for you to select the most suitable kitchen sinks and bar sinks for your kitchen. We’ll ask you about how you complete your kitchen activities. Do you need a kitchen sink deep enough for large pots? Do you often wash vegetables in your kitchen sink? How frequently do you use your kitchen sink or bar sink? We’ll want to hear about your overall kitchen décor — especially about where the focal point of your kitchen designs will be. Once we know everything there is to know about your kitchen plans, we’ll introduce you to all the kitchen sink options available and help you determine which ones fit best with your kitchen designs.

At the Nu-Way Kitchen Showrooms, You’ll See Every Style of Kitchen Sink and Bar Sink

The phrase “everything but the kitchen sink” definitely does NOT apply at the Nu-Way kitchen showrooms! At the Nu-Way showrooms, in addition to kitchen faucets, kitchen cabinets, and a wide range of other kitchen accessories, you’ll be able to see examples of kitchen sinks in every style and every material, from all the major kitchen sink manufacturers. When choosing the kitchen sinks and bar sinks that will best fit into your kitchen designs, your selection will be determined in part by the type of countertop you’re working with. If you haven’t yet decided on a countertop, you’ll be able to consider more styles of kitchen sinks. Whether you’re starting out fresh in your kitchen designs or are working with an existing countertop or a new one that’s already been selected, the Nu-Way kitchen specialists know which kitchen sink styles you’ll need to see.

• Undermount kitchen sinks and undermount bar sinks are recessed under the countertop. Because the edges of the undermount sink are hidden under the countertop edge, this kitchen sink-countertop installation has a clean, seamless appearance. And with undermount sinks, you can brush the crumbs off the counter directly into the kitchen sink, making cleanup easy. An undermount kitchen sink, however, can be used only with a countertop made from concrete or other solid materials. The same is true of an undermount bar sink. If you are working with a countertop made of a solid material, the Nu-Way kitchen specialists can show you a number of undermount kitchen sinks and undermount bar sinks to choose from.
  
  
• Top mount sinks sit on top of the countertop. Top mount sinks, also called self-rimming sinks, are installed so their rims sit on top of the countertop. They are the easiest style of kitchen sink to install and can be replaced without destroying the countertop. Top mount sinks can be used with various types of countertops, so you’ll have a wider range of options to choose from if you’re looking for top mount sinks. The Nu-Way kitchen specialists can show you top mount sinks from various manufacturers in several colors and materials, and will help you decide on the right ones for your kitchen.
  
  
• Tile-in kitchen sinks go with tile countertops. The tile-in kitchen sink has some features of both undermount sinks and top mount sinks. Tile-in kitchen sinks have a flange (a projecting rim or collar) and the tile countertop comes right up to meet the sink rim. A tile-in kitchen sink may have trim on its rim, too, but it is often styled to mount even with the tiled countertop, so that there is no visible separation between the sink and the counter surface. The Nu-Way kitchen specialists can show you beautiful examples of tile-in kitchen sinks and bar sinks at the Nu-Way showrooms.
  
  
• A flush mount (integral) kitchen sink is fused to the countertop. The flush mount kitchen sink and the countertop are fused into one piece, with no visible seams. Flush mount kitchen sinks and bar sinks look sleek and are easy to maintain. When it’s time to install the flush mount kitchen sink, the integrated piece is lowered onto the kitchen cabinets and hooked up to the plumbing lines. The Nu-Way kitchen specialists can help you choose the colors and materials for your flush mount kitchen sinks and bar sinks.
  
  

The knowledgeable Nu-Way kitchen specialists will ask you all the necessary questions about your kitchen designs and will make recommendations about which kitchen sinks and bar sinks will likely work best in your kitchen plans. Since your choice of kitchen sinks and bar sinks will determine in part the kitchen faucets you must select, the Nu-Way kitchen specialists will encourage you to choose your kitchen faucets at the same time as you select your kitchen sinks and bar sinks. When you leave the Nu-Way kitchen showrooms, you will have selected the kitchen sinks, bar sinks, and kitchen faucets that will work best with your kitchen plans and your budget. We’ll also provide you or your contractor or builder with the sketches you’ll need for the plumbing lines required to supply your kitchen sinks and bar sinks with adequate hot and cold water. When you come to Nu-Way, you can stop worrying. We’ll give you all the assistance you’ll need to select the best and most attractive kitchen sinks and bar sinks for your new kitchen construction or your kitchen remodel. Information Request

• Stainless steel kitchen sinks are a popular choice. Stainless steel kitchen sinks are the most frequently purchased kitchen sinks, primarily because stainless steel is durable and cleans easily. The Nu-Way kitchen specialists will advise you to select a steel that’s thicker and more durable — preferably an 18-gauge metal. (The lower the gauge number, the thicker the metal.) The thicker steels tend to hold up better over time, make less noise, and don’t dent as easily as the thinner steels. You’ll also have to decide what finish you prefer—the brushed finish (the least shiny look but a very popular choice) or the brightest finish (the shiniest look). Stainless steel kitchen sinks come in two styles: they can be either top mount sinks or undermount sinks. The Elkay Corporation is the largest manufacturer of stainless steel sinks. When you have the Nu-Way kitchen specialists helping you, you’ll be able to find high-quality stainless steel kitchen sinks and bar sinks that are in your price range.
  
  
• Cast iron kitchen sinks (porcelain kitchen sinks) fit well with any kitchen décor. Cast iron kitchen sinks have been used for over a century and are one of the most durable options available. They are heavy and quiet, and come in a wide variety of colors. Cast iron kitchen sinks are covered with a porcelain surface made from ground glass that is melted and applied to the hot cast iron. Most cast iron kitchen sinks or porcelain kitchen sinks are top mount sinks, but they are also available as undermount sinks, self-rimming, and tile-in sinks. When you use cast iron kitchen sinks or porcelain kitchen sinks, it is a good idea to use a bottom mat as well, to minimize the chances of glass breaking on the hard surface. The Nu-Way kitchen specialists are very experienced in cast iron kitchen sinks or porcelain kitchen sinks and are prepared to help you select the sinks that will go well with your kitchen designs.
  
  
• Vitreous china sinks are available in a rainbow of colors. Vitreous china is an earthenware product; when it is cast, glazed, and fired at high temperatures, it forms a glossy surface resistant to stains. Vitreous china is durable and easy to clean with mild household cleaners. If you select vitreous china sinks for your kitchen sinks or bar sinks, you must be careful not to pour boiling water into them. Vitreous china sinks are fragile, as well, so you should not drop heavy objects into them. Vitreous china sinks are most frequently selected as bathroom sinks, but the Nu-Way kitchen specialists are prepared to offer advice and recommendations on the use of vitreous china sinks in your kitchen design plans. We encourage their use in lower-use applications such as bar sinks or entertainment sinks.
  
  
• Fireclay kitchen sinks (ceramic) give your kitchen an old world look. Fireclay kitchen sinks and bar sinks are similar to vitreous china sinks in make-up, and have smooth surfaces that won’t rust, fade, or discolor. Fireclay kitchen sinks can be sculpted in many shapes, and can be plain or hand painted, for a decorative, old world look or as farmhouse kitchen sinks. Fireclay kitchen sinks or bar sinks may look fragile, but their hard surfaces resist most chemicals and detergents. The Nu-Way kitchen specialists will show you some eye-catching fireclay kitchen sinks and bar sinks that could easliy serve as the focal point for kitchen designs that evoke a time long ago and far away.
  
  
• Kitchen sinks or bar sinks made from solid surface materials offer strength, beauty, and durability. Corian and solid granite are examples of solid surface materials used for kitchen sinks or bar sinks, and for the countertop that surrounds them. The Nu-Way kitchen specialists can advise you of the relative advantages and disadvantages of kitchen sinks and bar sinks made from solid surface materials.
  
  
• Composite kitchen sinks are becoming more popular choices. Made from various rocks, including quartz, granite, or slate combined with acrylic, composite kitchen sinks are hard and have a matte finish. These durable kitchen sinks and bar sinks are scratch resistant and their prices are very competitive. Composite kitchen sinks are available only in a limited range of colors, including dark gray, almond, and white. In the Nu-Way showrooms, you can see composite kitchen sinks on display and, under the guidance of the Nu-Way kitchen specialists, you can try the scratch test on them to see how hard they really are.
  
  
• Swanstone kitchen sinks are composite kitchen sinks made from an engineered material. Swanstone kitchen sinks and bar sinks are virtually indestructible. Each sink’s color and texture runs all the way through it and cannot wear away. Swanstone kitchen sinks come in a wide variety of styles and colors. All Swanstone kitchen sinks and bar sinks can be installed as either undermount sinks or top mount sinks and easily accommodate all faucet styles. The Nu-Way kitchen specialists can show you Swanstone kitchen sinks and bar sinks that you should consider for your elegant and updated kitchen designs.
  
  
• Moenstone kitchen sinks are composite kitchen sinks with excellent scratch resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance. Moenstone sinks are made from a quartz composite covered with a granite surface. With Moenstone kitchen sinks or bar sinks, the color is molded throughout the bowl, so you’ll never have to worry about chipping or scarring. With Moenstone, you can color-coordinate your sink with your overall kitchen decorating theme. Moenstone sinks are heat resistant up to 535 degrees F. Moenstone sinks are on display at the Nu-Way kitchen showrooms, so you can picture how they might look and function when installed in your kitchen.
  
  
• Copper kitchen sinks and sinks made from other specialty metals are available through Nu-Way, too. Kitchen sinks and bar sinks manufactured from specialty metals such as copper, nickel, and brass can be very beautiful in an elegant kitchen setting. The Nu-Way kitchen specialists can advise you on the installation and maintenance of these specialty sinks.
