Laundry and Utility Sinks

Utility and laundry sinks are incredibly useful plumbing fixtures made for any space that is bound to get messy. When a larger basin is required for cleaning up messes, bathing the dogs, washing up after gardening, or changing the oil in your car, a utility sink is exactly what you need.

Laundry rooms, workshops, and garages are all prime locations for a washing station. Wash up after your latest hobby with a convenient sink dedicated to cleaning up the dirtiest of messes.

Sink Type

There are several options to consider for washing stations for your home. Choose from single, dual, and even triple basins for a fully-functional space that best suits your needs.

Utility sinks have deeper basins than your typical kitchen or bathroom sink does. This is because laundry and utility sinks are installed for cleaning up a variety of dirt and messes in addition to being constructed to withstand rough treatment.

Laundry sinks are best for rinsing stains from clothing and prepping laundry for the washing machine. You can also use your laundry sink to wash your dogs, clean up after gardening, clean dirty shoes, and wash up after crafts like painting. Empty your mop bucket, cleaning supplies, or dust rags in a utility sink that is specifically made to get dirty.

Handwash stations are smaller fixtures made primarily for what their name implies. They are the perfect type of sink to add to a kitchen or prep station, where you can clean up before and after cooking.

Consider adding another kitchen sink for washing up after cooking, cleaning, or finishing art projects. This is a great opportunity to dedicate a sink in which kids can wash up after playing outside and before eating.

Installation Type

As you choose what type of sink to place in your home, consider the various installation methods and which will be the best option for you.

Free standing sinks are the easiest to install because they don't need to be attached to the walls or floors. They stand alone, making it easy to set up and put into place. All you need to do is assemble the basin and plumbing and they are ready for immediate use.

A Drop-in sink is installed so that the edges of the sink rest on the counter top in which it is installed. These are popular choices in renovated areas, where there is already sink space cut out of the counter top. Drop the correct-size sink, seal the edges, attach the faucets and drain, and the sink is ready for use.

Deck mounted sinks are installed in accessible counter top areas for convenient operation and quick locating. The sink is sunken in design, which helps minimize excess splashing. It is easy to mount and seal, and the quick placement and mounting makes it a favorite installation option for bar sinks.

Undermount installation requires the placement of a sink on the structure of the vanity or cabinet. The counter top is then placed over the sink edges. Undermount is popular in new kitchens and those looking for a high-end finish.

Wall mounted sinks are exactly as described; the sink is installed so that it attaches to the rear wall. These sinks are popular in locations where there is no counter space available. Wall mounted sinks are connected from the wall to behind the faucet, where gives it a floating appearance.

Floor mounted installation is great for heavy-duty utility sinks. Commonly called mop sinks, this type of installation is mounted at the base via pedestals, as opposed to freestanding legs. This is a more permanent, secure option for lower sinks.

Style and Shape

Utility and laundry sinks are typically made from one of four materials for optimal durability: acrylic, stainless steel, ceramic, or cast iron. Choose from rectangular, square, oval, and circular sinks for a designer look.
