Stainless Steel Laundry Sinks

I find it amazing some days to think about which products are some of our most popular. A product that seems to fly off our our virtual shelves is certainly our Stainless Steel Laundry Sinks.

Your laundry sink is often an afterthought when you are building a new home. But after you have been there for a while you realize that the plastic and now stained and dirty sink you have in your laundry room has a better place to be... the local dump! Clearly people build beautiful homes, buy the state of the art washer and dryers and then put them next to a $50 white (soon to be stained in all kinds of colors) plastic utility sink! Its not to long that they realize that they can obtain a much more durable, long lasting, stain resistant, and certainly more eye appealing classic stainless steel laundry sink or utility sink.

There are many different sizes available, but the first choice would be to go with a free-standing model or a wall mounted model. Here are a few things to think about then making that decision. For most people their water supply lines are coming up from the floor or from a spot on the wall closer to the floor. A free standing model would partially hide those pipes. A free standing model may also provide more stability. I'm sure you could securely place a wall-mounted model onto the studs of the wall, but as rough as we can get with normal use in our laundry/utility sinks, my personal opinion would be that a free standing model might be a safer bet if you feel you plan to be a heavy user or rough on the sink.

A wall-mounted stainless steel laundry sink would provide useful storage space below the sink where the free standing would certainly only provide a limited amount.

The final choice is about size and the number of sink bowls. Most sinks are 14 inches deep, but come in overall sizes of 18 x 21.5 all the way up to the monster 48 x 27.5 double sinks.

We suggest that you truly look into your sink before making an investment. You don't want to buy a metal version of the builder-quality plastic sink. You want to make sure you are buying something durable and long lasting. You can buy imports inexpensively and they may last a while. Or you could find ones built here in the great U.S.A. and are actually made with the type of quality, care, and craftsmanship we would hope to get from proud US-made products.
