The Smarter kitchen Sink - Available in: Copper, Stainless, Millennia -
Apron, under mount or top mount.
The first sink where you can do all of your food
preparation INSIDE the sink and keep your counters clean!
Please watch this short video. You will see why these sinks are now about 40% of our business!
I have been working for many years to perfect the kitchen sink. Thanks to the feedback from many of you, as well as one forward thinking engineer (and customer) by the name of Robert Pennybaker, I have put together the best sink design in the industry. Here are some of the design elements that are unique to our sinks. If you love to cook, this is your kitchen sink!
- Rear Corner sink drain location - Allows for set-off space and even a dish rack on one side, while having the ability to wash dishes on the side with the drain.
- Long single bowl kitchen sinks - Double bowl sinks became extinct with the invention of the dishwasher. I feel a 36" long sink is the ultimate size for a kitchen sink if you have the space in your kitchen for one.
- The Smarter Kitchen Sink option - a 3/4" lip (copper) and a 1" lip (Stainless), 2" down from the front and rear of the sink. This ledge allows for many timesaving components such as: Cutting boards and grid drains, This option is available on copper apron front sinks, under mount and top mount sinks - both in copper and stainless steel.
Let me speak of the colander idea for a moment. Has this ever happened to you? You have a large pot of pasta on the cook top. You go to the sink to drain it and place the colander in the sink. You pour the water, but all the water does not evacuate the sink fast enough and the water begins to back up into the pasta? It has happened to me and it grossed me out - yuck. Just take the grid and turn it sideways and place it in the bottom of the sink. The colander is now raised up - no more yuck!
Cool use ideas from our customers using their Smarter Kitchen Sinks!
- Use the grid for thawing meats (Copper conducts heat better than the expensive aluminum meat thawing trays- no mess... everything drips into the sink!
- Use the grid for setting down oysters as you shuck them - again no mess!
- Use the poly cutting board 6" from the right of the sink while cutting veggies. Swipe waste off to the right into the disposer and the good stuff to the left in a waiting bowl underneath the left side.
- Cut meat, fish and chicken on the poly cutting board. Everything drips into the sink - no mess.
- The poly board fits nicely in the dishwasher.
- Lacking on counter space, use two poly boards together for extra work space!
- I am sure we will hear more and more great ideas!
This
is a close up of the right rear corner of the copper kitchen sink shown above. You can see
the detail of the ledge and the amazing welding our guys do.
This is a photo taken from the right side - looking down the length of the sink. This copper kitchen sink is only 30" long overall. I would suggest that this option would be even more useful on a sink that is longer.

This "Smarter" copper under mount sink features our black American walnut cutting board and a colander that was purchased at Costco for under $35. There are all kinds of accessories that can be found to fit our sinks. If you love to cook, this is the ultimate sink!
This gorgeous apron sink features a copper grid and a cherry cutting board resting on the Smarter Sink optional ledge. The patina on the front is Fire and Ice.

I really like the patina on this one. Very rich looking.
This beauty is our new Rustic Matte patina on stainless. The finish looks
much like pewter or zinc. The best part is that it is easier to care for.
Scratches are easily removed with a Scotch Brite Pad.
This sink measures 48" long. What a great sink! All the food preparation can
be done inside the sink instead of adjacent to the sink on the countertop.
No more messy counters!

Take a look at this gorgeous "Smarter Sink" in brushed stainless. It features a stainless grid. The new owner also ordered a poly cutting board. This is going to be a great sink to work in.
This is actually a top mount sink made of our Millennia stainless. The first
"Smarter Sink" we built as a top mount sink in this great material.
The photo below is the before photo - take a look at the replacement! The replacement is a "Smarter Sink" with a hammered interior. What a cool sink!
Our
customer ordered a Waterstone Towson Suite with an 18" articulating arm.
This is truly a dream sink!
We absolutely love the sink. It is everything you promised and more. It is such a great cook's sink. The hammered look was worth every cent and can't wait to get the shelf done to use the Smart Sink feature.
I hate cutting raw chicken! With the below option, all the "juice" runs into the antimicrobial copper sink! All you do when you are finished is put the poly cutting board in the dishwasher for sanitizing - then clean the sink with your normal soap. The copper does the rest for you!
Smarter Kitchen Sink shown with optional 3/4" white poly cutting board. This is not
the cheap 1/4" cutting board you might see in a store. This is a heavy duty
board custom made for us to my specifications. Nothing but the best...
Just cut and swipe the waste into the disposer. It just doesn't get any easier folks. Move the board into the middle and place a bowl under the left side. Then you can scoop the goods into the bowl on the left and the waste into the disposer on the right.
Smarter Kitchen Sink shown with optional copper grid in combination with the 3/4" thick poly cutting board. Rinse your veggies on the left, cut on the right!. Cut meat on the right, rinse on the left.
Need some extra counter space? Get two poly boards and go wild! If you love to cook, this is the dream kitchen sink!
Take a look at a top mount custom apron sink with an integral back splash and a channel behind the apron so it can slip over the cabinet frame. This sink has every option possible short of air conditioning. The copper sink in the video has no patina on it yet. It will receive a rich caramel brown patina. There is also a Millennia Stainless Steel sink with just about as many options. The only thing missing is the integral back splash. The stainless sink is about 48" long.
Yes, we build them in stainless too!. This was our very first stainless "Smarter Kitchen Sink". We used our Millennia textured stainless - hides scratches and water spots!
This is a photo of an undermount "Smarter Kitchen Sink" with a left rear drain (for lefties!)
This is a gorgeous Smarter Kitchen Sink - apron front sink with a rustic patina. Its final home will be in a rustic cabin in the Georgia mountains. It is pictured with the black walnut cutting board.
