Sinks

What types of kitchen sinks does LAVO Bathroom Concepts offer?

LAVO Bathroom Concepts offers a considered selection of kitchen sinks designed to combine practical functionality with contemporary design. Kitchen sinks are available in different configurations, sizes, materials and installation styles, allowing the sink to be selected according to the kitchen layout, countertop and overall interior aesthetic.

The sink is one of the most frequently used elements in a kitchen, so practical considerations such as bowl size, depth, drainage, cleaning and durability are important when choosing a product. At the same time, the sink can contribute to the visual character of the kitchen, particularly in open-plan spaces where the kitchen forms part of the wider living environment.

LAVO’s design-led approach means that kitchen sinks can be considered alongside kitchen taps and other fittings to create a cohesive and functional solution. The objective is to select products that work together rather than treating the sink as an isolated component.

What types of kitchen sink installation are available?

Kitchen sinks can be installed in several different ways, with undermount, inset and countertop or flush-mounted configurations among the common options. The most appropriate installation depends on the countertop material, cabinetry, kitchen design and desired appearance.

An undermount sink is installed beneath the countertop, creating a clean transition between the work surface and the sink. This can be particularly effective in contemporary kitchens because crumbs and water can be swept directly into the bowl without an exposed sink rim interrupting the countertop.

An inset sink is installed into a prepared opening in the countertop, with the rim sitting on top of the work surface. This is a versatile solution that can work across a variety of kitchen styles.

The installation method should be considered before the countertop is fabricated because the sink dimensions and required cut-out need to be accurately coordinated.

LAVO Bathroom Concepts can help customers and design professionals consider the sink configuration alongside the countertop, cabinetry and kitchen tap to achieve a practical and visually integrated result.

How to choose the right size kitchen sink?

The right kitchen sink size depends on the available countertop space, cabinet dimensions, kitchen layout and how the sink will be used.

A larger sink can provide useful space for washing large pots, pans and dishes, while a more compact sink may be preferable where countertop space is limited. If the kitchen includes a dishwasher, the sink may not need to be as large as it would in a kitchen where more washing is done by hand.

The number of bowls is another consideration. A single large bowl can provide generous washing space, while a double-bowl configuration can allow different tasks to be performed simultaneously.

It is important to check the size of the cabinet beneath the sink as well as the countertop opening. The sink must fit within the available cabinetry and leave sufficient space for plumbing and waste connections.

LAVO can assist in considering these practical requirements alongside the overall design of the kitchen, helping customers select a sink that provides the right balance between functionality, proportions and aesthetics.

What should you consider when choosing a kitchen sink and tap together?

The kitchen sink and tap should ideally be selected together, as their dimensions, installation requirements and functionality are closely connected.

Consider the number and position of tap holes, the height and reach of the tap, the depth of the sink and the available space around the sink. A tap with a long spout reach, for example, needs to be appropriately proportioned for the sink bowl.

The finish of the sink and tap can also influence the overall appearance of the kitchen. Coordinating finishes can create a cohesive look, while carefully selected contrasting finishes can provide a more distinctive design statement.

Functionality is equally important. The tap should provide sufficient clearance for washing and filling larger cookware without creating unnecessary splashing.

LAVO Bathroom Concepts offers specialist knowledge across bathroom and kitchen fittings, allowing sinks and taps to be considered together as part of the wider interior design. This can be particularly valuable for architects, interior designers and homeowners working on kitchens where both aesthetics and daily functionality are important.
