Best Kitchen Sinks of 2020
The kitchen sink is the centerpiece of your home and a stylish, functional sink can really pull your kitchen design together. Your sink can make a lasting impression in your kitchen: from copper to soap stone, quartz to fireclay, composite to stainless. Single-bowl or double-bowl, the sky is the limit when it comes to sink selections. First, think about your style preference, farmhouse, drop-in, or undermount? Next, consider your practices of use when selecting your sink. How often will your sink be used? If your sink gets intense traffic, you may want to select a stainless or a granite (Silgranit) sink. What type of pots and pans do you cook with and are you washing large pots and pans? If so, you may want to avoid sinks that can chip or scratch with heavy pots and pans.
Check out our Best Kitchen Sinks for 2020. This may help in choosing what sink works best for you and your family.

This stunning hammered copper sink will make a bold statement in your kitchen! In our opinion, we consider it to be the best copper sink on the market in 2020. It is made from highest quality pure copper available. Something to think about: copper has a living finish that changes and evolves with how you use it. It’s what makes copper beautiful and raw. The living finish is called the patina, and it’s a natural protective coating that ensures copper won’t corrode. The patina of your copper sink will always change. Certain acidic foods or chemicals will strip it off, and time will bring it back. It will go from light to dark, from extreme to subtle, but one thing’s for sure: it will always be changing.
Just like with life, change is the only constant. And change is good.
Pros
- Pure solid copper construction
- Flexible install: undermount, flush or built-up
- Beautiful, eye catching focal point for any kitchen style and decor
Cons
- Wash with soap and water for maintenance
- Prevent discoloration by not leaving dishes in sink overnight
- Purchase grid and strainer drain separately

This contemporary sink is made from high quality stainless steel that resists rust, scratches and dents. This sink is deep enough for large pots, pans, and extra dirty dishes. This Kraus sink has a sloped bottom for added drainage and it includes the faucet, grid, strainer and cap.

Best FIRECLAY sink
The Rohl Shaws Classic Waterside Fireclay Farmhouse sink will be the focal point of your home and is built to last a lifetime. In our opinion, this is the best fireclay sink on the market in 2020. In 1897 the fireclay apron front farmhouse sink was introduced by Shaws of Darwen. Each Rohl sink is made in the same factory today – they start as a local ball of fireclay that is hand poured, shaped, and stamped with the name of its maker so each sink is custom and takes about a month to craft. The Rohl sinks acid and alkali resistant glazed surfaces and have hygienic antibacterial properties.
Pros
- Incredibly durable fireclay material that is antibacterial and damage resistant
- The original farmhouse sink with a rich history steeped in tradition made the same today as in 1897
- Designed to withstand heavy use – don’t worry about acid, alkali, bleach, pots or pans damaging, staining or scratching your sink
Cons
- Fireclay is heavy so this sink weighs ~170 lbs.
- There is +/-2% dimension forgiveness since each piece is custom made
