Drop In Sinks

Drop-In Kitchen Sinks: Versatile, Stylish, and Easy to Install

Are you looking for a simple sink to update your home? Vintage Tub & Bath has drop-in kitchen sinks that you’ll love.

The Highlights

Drop-in kitchen sinks have benefits over your other choices. They are often less expensive and easier to install. Their basins are also simpler to maintain than those of alternative sink options. 

Sink Style

Drop-in kitchen sinks come in many styles. Vintage Tub & Bath offers our customers two main choices: drop-in and under-mount. Both have their pros and cons, so you can choose based on your personal preferences and needs.

Sink Width

The standard sink size is about 22 inches long and 30 inches wide; however, every space varies, which is why it’s vital to get accurate dimensions before choosing a sink. Vintage Tub & Bath drop-in kitchen sinks fit into the following width categories:

• 10”-15”

• 16”-20”

• 21”-25”

• 36”-30”

• 31”-40”

If you need help measuring the width of your space, talk to one of our specialists. They can advise you on the most accurate method.

Number of Basins

Drop-in kitchen sinks have many options to match your unique needs and style. Many residential kitchens have two basins, which provides more flexibility. 

With two separate compartments, you can have wet and dry areas when preparing food. However, we also carry single basin drop-in sinks, which are often more cost-effective while still being roomy enough to wash large pots.

Faucet Centers

Before purchasing a new sink, you’ll need to measure the faucet center on your old one. This measurement demonstrates how far it is between the pre-drilled faucet holes. You gather this information by measuring from the center of the right hole to the center of the left hole.

Basin Split

A basin split is the amount of space each basin takes up in a double-basin sink. This split can be:

• 50/50

• 60/40

• 70/30

• 80/20

The most common split is 50/50.

Materials

The material a sink is made from often determines its durability. The team at Vintage Tub & Bath wants you to have long-lasting products, so we offer our customers copper and granite drop-in kitchen sinks.

Installation Type

Technicians install drop-in kitchen sinks by placing them into a hole cut in the countertop. Once in place, they’re held there by their lip or rim. 

Drain Location

When choosing the drain location, consider how you want the water to exit the basin. Drains can be placed in the center or rear of the fixture. A rear drain may provide more space for storage or a garbage disposal. However, a center drain helps the water drain faster. 

Finish

The finish you choose can elevate the completed look. Vintage Tub & Bath offers drop-in sinks in these finishes: 

• Antique

• Espresso

• Granito

• Metallico

• Nero

Choose the finish that best completes the kitchen aesthetic. 

Shape

The shape of your sink can influence the final look as much as any other component. A rectangular sink with sharp edges creates a minimalist or modern design. In contrast, something with rounded edges, like an oval sink, brings a more traditional kitchen aesthetic.

Brands

The top brands available at Vintage Tub & Bath are Sierra Copper and Swan. These companies have some of the best products on the market. They’ll stand the test of time.

Price 

The final cost of your kitchen sink is based on the materials, size, and installation type you choose. However, Vintage Tub & Bath has something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a cost-effective replacement or a luxurious high-end fixture.
