Therefore, apron front sinks are a better choice of the new home builders who can start building the kitchen from the scratch. Now, the question is why would anyone choose an apron front sink? Let us have a look at the reasons.

Why Apron Sinks

If you are planning on making an investment in apron sinks, you should know what you will get for the money you are spending.

Practical

We are talking about a sink for the kitchen - not a fancy basin in a living space. Sinks are better when they are big. If you have the space for a big sink, think no more and choose an apron sink. These sinks are way larger than other conventional sinks.  

When you have a large sink, you can handle more. Even after a large family feast, you will be able to put all the dishes and cutleries into the sink. You can fill the sink with soap and hot or cold water and nicely clean them. You can clean things like grilling trays or grates, baking sheets, woks, etc., in the sink.

The conventional sinks do not have the space necessary to handle this type of large items but apron sinks can. The design of the sink helps you carry heavy and larger items to and from the sink with comparative ease.

If you have dirty dishes with sticky food on them, you will need to soak them in soap water for a long time. Apron sinks are big enough for these dishes to soak them overnight and clean the next day. 

Multifunctional

Apron sinks are multifunctional. It can hold bigger pots, pans and dishes, so you can clean them very easily. These sinks not only suit your kitchen but also are good for your laundry room. You can soak clothes, linens, etc. to clean up stains. These sinks are made from better materials and are very long lasting.

Flexible Faucet Options

 Most of the time, the conventional sink does not come with faucet options. With apron front sinks the homeowner can carefully consider various faucet options and choose the one that goes with the interior aesthetics of the kitchen. Based on the countertops, you can choose an elegant looking faucet that fits well with the apron front sink. Besides, if you have to change an old sink, you do not have to part with your favorite faucet either.

Reduced Strain

Usually, there is a front counter for every kitchen sink you see. You will have to bend forward and maintain that posture as long as you work on your dishes. This will put a lot of strain on your lower back and there can be bad injury from using this type of sinks for many days. However, with an apron front sink there is no front counter and therefore, you do not need to bend over to clean your dishes.

You can remain upright and do your dishes and save yourself from lower back pain. The same goes for the laundry room. Cleaning your clothes also puts even more pressure on your lower back. If you use an apron front sink, you will be able to give your back some support.

Appeal of a Farmhouse

If you want to have a throwback appearance, you should search for an apron front sink with gray or white color. There are many other colors available but they will provide an upscale or modern vibe.

Saves Cabinets and Counters

Usually, the conventional sinks sit on top of a countertop and there are cabinets below. In that case, when water falls on the countertops, it will slowly leak into the cabinets beneath. Once or twice will not matter, but if you keep this up one day your precious cabinets will surely be damaged. Not just cabinets, your countertops can be damaged too, if water falls on it regularly.

For example, if you let water stand on granite countertops, there will be discoloration and cloudiness. If liquid such as juice drops on the countertop, it can leave nasty stain on your granite countertop. However, with apron front sinks protruded front side, the water drops will land on the floor. With just a swipe of a rug would keep the area clean.

Previously apron front sinks were made from various precious materials such as porcelain or ceramic. However, nowadays you will find sinks made of various other materials to suit your home condition and preferences - you will find variations in colors, designs, and materials.

Besides, maintenance of fireclay products does not require too much effort. Although ceramic and fireclay look similar, fireclay lasts much longer and remains better looking even after many years.
