Double Bowl Sinks

More from the Kitchen Remodeling Gallery

While in recent years large and deep single bowl sinks have been taking over kitchen design, the traditionally more common double bowl sinks continue to populate a vast number of American kitchens. Rather than one, the double bowl sink has two bowls separated by a dividing wall, each with its own drain. That wall is typically centered between two bowls of equal size, but there is no rule regarding symmetry or size. Sink designs come in a variety of styles where one bowl is wider and deeper than the other.

Double bowl sinks are available in most sink materials, be it metal, stainless steel, porcelain, or others. Advantages of double bowl sinks include:

• Allowing two people to use the sink at once.
• Versatile, allows for multitasking, such as washing dishes in one bowl, drying them in the other.
• Easy to conserve water when washing dishes by filling up one bowl with wash water, the other with rinse water; limiting the use of running water.
