What kind of sink?

2 years ago

Hi there, After advice on what kind of sink for my new house. I've always wanted a Firestone butler's sink. Are they hard to care for and keep looking nice?

Hi, Caitlin, Fire-clay sinks are actually easy to care for and very hard wearing. The decision to use this type of sink really comes down to whether it is right for the style of your kitchen.

Hope this helps,Malcolm.

Thankyou Malcom. We are on a farm and building a real traditional homestead so it definitely suits.

I'd like to suggest that the most important thing here is more about who is using the room. If It's a child's bedroom use lovely children's curtains - there's so much around and any pattern could pick up the wall and floor colours. If a guest room and not used often I'd suggest a beautiful velvet or good quality Linen and forbid the little ones from going in to that room!!!!!! alternately a blind attached at floor level could be raised or lowered so the view is still there but with privacy from waist height perhaps. Good luck. Bee

Don't use the wall faucet variety, UNLESS you want to purchase a new top for the vanity. Or return the vanity. Pretty simple. The round hole was meant to have a faucet. Not a "cover" which may also allow water down under, which may also ruin the vanity as there will be no containing water lines beneath the little hole. Bad idea,

I'd love your advice - Where would be the best placement of my appliances, sink, oven etc? I would love to have my sink under the window - do you think it could work?

Is it the look you’re after or is it the fired clay method that attracts you? If it’s just the look, IKEA has a version (with a decent warranty).

They can be deep and cause sore backs if you are doing a lot of washing up. Also do you need a separate sink for rinsing and draining. Make sure you think about your function not just the look. There are lots of pros too - the look and size the accomodate large dishes.
