Collection: Sinks

Single or double bowl — which sink suits you?

How you wash up decides the bowl setup. A single large bowl gives maximum room for big pots, oven trays and bulky items, and suits a dishwasher household that doesn't hand-wash much. A double bowl, like a laundry sink layout, lets you separate tasks — washing in one, rinsing or draining in the other — which suits people who hand-wash a lot or want to soak on one side while using the other. A one-and-a-half bowl (a large bowl plus a small one) is a middle ground. Think about how you use the sink daily, and whether you hand-wash or rely on a dishwasher.

Undermount or topmount installation?

The mounting affects the look and the benchtop. A topmount (drop-in) sink sits in a cut hole with its rim resting on the benchtop, which is easier and cheaper to install and works with most bench materials — the rim just means a small lip to wipe around. An undermount sink fixes below the benchtop for a clean, rimless edge where you can sweep crumbs straight in, but it needs a solid, sealed benchtop like stone and professional installation. Topmount suits easy installs and laminate benches; undermount suits stone benches and a smooth, rimless finish.

What sink material and gauge should you look for?

Stainless steel is the kitchen standard for good reason — it resists stains, heat and rust, and takes hard use. The gauge (thickness) matters: a lower gauge number means thicker, tougher steel that resists denting and deadens noise better, so a quality sink often has sound-deadening pads underneath to quieten the clatter. Granite or composite sinks are another option, tough and available in colours but heavier. For most kitchens, a good-gauge stainless steel sink with sound insulation is the practical, durable choice. Check the bowl depth too — a deeper bowl holds more and splashes less.

What about installation and plumbing?

A sink connects to your plumbing, so a few things matter. The sink must fit your cabinet and benchtop cutout, so measure carefully or match a standard size. The waste, and any connected tapware, should meet Australian standards — look for WaterMark certification on water fittings, which is required for legal installation. A licensed plumber connects the waste and water. Check whether the sink comes with a waste kit or if you need one. Match the sink and tap holes to your chosen mixer. Get the measurements and the plumbing right, and the install is straightforward.

Common questions

Single or double bowl sink — which is better?
A single large bowl fits big pots and suits dishwasher households. A double bowl separates washing and rinsing, suiting people who hand-wash a lot. A one-and-a-half bowl is a middle ground.

What's the difference between undermount and topmount?
Topmount drops into a hole with its rim on the bench — easy and cheap to install. Undermount fixes below the bench for a rimless look but needs a solid stone bench and professional fitting.

What sink material lasts best?
Stainless steel resists stains, heat and rust and takes hard use. A thicker gauge resists dents and, with sound-deadening pads, is quieter. Granite composite is another tough option.

Do I need a plumber to install a sink?
Yes, for connecting the waste and water. Water fittings should carry WaterMark certification for legal installation, and a licensed plumber does the connection.

Can I pay for a sink in instalments?
Yes. Afterpay splits it into four fortnightly payments, and Zip, Klarna and PayPal Pay in 4 do the same. A $199 sink is around 4 × $49.75.
