Is a Concrete Sink Right for Your Home?

To make your kitchen or bathroom design successful, it’s important to get the sink right. The sink is the focal point of both spaces, and it serves an essential function. There is a vast array of sinks available on the market and a wide range of material options—so many that it can be difficult to choose the best one for your needs.

In this article, our team at Força will focus on concrete sinks, going over a few things to consider before deciding if they are right for your home.

• Design Impact – If you want to make a strong design statement, concrete sinks may be the way to go. Concrete is used extensively in modernist interior design styles, and a concrete sink is a great way to make your kitchen or bathroom look sleek and contemporary. However, if you’re looking for something more traditional, concrete sinks might not be a good fit.
• Ease of Use – Another thing to consider when picking out sinks for your kitchen or bathroom is how easy they will be to use, clean, and maintain. Concrete sinks perform excellently in all three categories, especially if you are using concrete countertops as well, as the sink can be integrated directly into the counter. That way, there is no lip or seam between the sink itself and the counter around it, making it easier to keep that part of your kitchen clean.
• Ease of Installation – Lastly, you should consider the installation process when deciding whether concrete sinks are right for your home. If you want to replace your sink with a concrete one, you will need to make sure the surrounding counters and the under-sink area can support it. Often, this requires installing additional support beams to bear the extra weight. However, if your sink replacement is part of a larger remodel, then it’s easy to build these extra steps into the overall work plan.
