Space

Sink Designs
Does the customer want a D-shape, standard rounded shape or zero radius design? Note that if they are using an existing countertop their options may be limited.
How to Identify Gauge
It is difficult to identify sink gauge visually; however, if you press your hand down on the base of the sink or walls and it feels like there is some "give" or pliability, it is a higher-gauge sink (20- or 22-gauge).
Undermount Sinks
The sink is installed under the counter, secured against the bottom of the countertop.
Drop In Sinks
The sink drops into a hole in the countertop and a rim around the sink holds it in place. The easiest to install.
Farmhouse Sinks
Farmhouse sinks can be installed as undermounts, drop-ins or have their edges flush with the countertop.
Sink Shapes
Standard
Rectangular-shaped bowls with rounded corners. Available in single bowl, double-equal bowl and double-offset bowl sinks.
Round
These are usually limited to bars or small service sinks.
D-Shape
One side of the sink (typically the side facing the kitchen) is flattened and the opposite side (where the faucet sits) is rounded. Available in single bowl, double-equal bowl and double-offset bowl sinks.
Zero Radius
All four corners are square, similar to a box. Available in single bowl, double-equal bowl and double-offset bowl sinks.
