Farm Sinks: Why Are These Sinks Gaining So Much Popularity?

As the name suggests, a farmhouse or apron sink was built for large families living in a farmhouse because many dishes needed to be washed after meals. Farm sinks are made wide, deep, and rectangular to fit all the dirty dishes left behind. They were more practical for large families. Traditionally these sinks were designed for a country or cottage style home but that has changed through the years.
Farm sinks are not only made in porcelain but now come in various materials:

• Fireclay, which is white clay heated at very high temperatures, is the popular choice because of it's clean, smooth look. It is also very durable and chip, stain, acid, and heat resistant. This beautiful sink will match any kitchen decor.
• Copper is known as a natural antiseptic so many people will find a copper farm sink appealing for both it's elegance and functionality. The front panels of these sinks can have designs and custom molding around the surface as well. The options are endless!
