Wondering what an apron sink is?

Apron sinks, like the one above, are sinks with a panel in front, so they can sit jut out along the surface of the work top. Because of their unique installation, it is recommended that you have the sink on hand during cabinet construction.

Christmas starts in the kitchen...

louise.malpas@toptriangle.com — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0100

I'd say 90% of my family's Christmas takes place in the kitchen - cooking, preparing, washing up, opening up another bottle of wine. It all goes on here - with the help of one very large double kitchen sink which just about copes with the fourteen or so of us who descend on the one house each year. Which brings me on to this video, one of my first memories of TV advertising working on me - back in Christmas 1987, I NEEDED this toy, but the idea of swiss roll and beans has never appealed...

This 60mm waste basket will be one of the jewels of your sink's crown. The one below is in brass, but they're also available in bronze and chrome.

One style of sink that always looks good is the overmount baby belfast sink. This is a relatively small, solid ceramic sink which sits on the surface rather than be embedded in the surface.

1.5 bowl undermount ceramic sink

louise.malpas@toptriangle.com — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0100

Argh! It means I have to empty the sink, empty the pots, and then repour. However, if I had a 1.5 bowl undermount ceramic sink like the one below, I wouldn't have to go through all that rigmarole. I could just use the small sink to empty, rinse and drain. Best sink invention. Ever.
