Space is a major concern for many homeowners. Without proper countertop or sink space, cooking and even washing dishes can become a frustrating part of your routine – that’s why our experts at Ray’s Countertop Shop, Inc. in Glenarm, IL are here to help you choose the right sink for your home. Depending on which you value more, sink or countertop space, we have a dual basin or single basin option to match your needs. Our single basin sinks are generally deeper and wider than dual basins, allowing for deeper pots and pans to be washed with ease, however, dual basin sinks give a wash and dry option that is necessary for many homeowners. Let us help you choose what’s best for your kitchen at our warehouse!

Counter space may not be something you think about right away when getting a new sink, but it matters most of all when making your final decisions. If you have an island or separate space to prepare your meals, it may not seem like a big decision to choose a single or dual basin sink, however, those with limited counter space may need to think more about the sink they are looking to upgrade too. For smaller spaces, our experts at Ray’s Countertop Shop, Inc. recommend a single basin, while larger homes more often than not, find a dual basin sink more efficient. Still on the fence?
