Owing to its variety of unique shapes and sizes, a two compartment sink offers remarkable flexibility in style, to the homeowner. It could be either mounted beneath the counter or dropped in and then mounted over it, as per your preferences.
If your countertop is of granite, soapstone, or other such luxurious materials, you might wish to see as much of its surface as possible. An under-mount two compartment sink would suit this case. Its selection would depend on its function and the kitchen area’s style and design. The colors, styles and designs of the cabinet, appliances and even floors across your kitchen must be compatible with that of your compartment sink.
The two compartment sinks come in a variety of sizes and styles. The option of size of the divider also varies, representing the fraction of space dedicated to each compartment basin. For example, a 50/50 two compartment sink would contain equal-sized basins and depths on both these sides. Most homeowners opt for the 60/40 model for its convenience and style.
Of the two materials used for two compartment sinks, stainless steel is preferred over cast iron for its rust-proof, corrosion-free and hygienic properties. Besides this, a stainless two compartment sink is also very light, sleek and has an elegant appeal, making your kitchen look livelier.
