More pics of the different types of sinks would have been helpful. Whether it was apron, farmhouse or copper. I'm making changes in my kitchen so I was able to keep up but for someone less familiar with styles, pics would be helpful. Also different pics are inspirational. I'm still on my journey to decide.

Your videos are very helpful and full of practical info! If you could imbed more photos to illustrate your examples it would be fantastic!

I get the impression this lady really knows her stuff. Perfect!

Hi Kirsten: another couple MAJOR decision points are the the size of the sink and be sure to explain the the cabinet below has to be a certain size to accommodate the sink and the number or configuration of bowls in sink; and now there are also workstation sinks. So it would help if an expert could help people take into consideration the way they work at their sink and what type of sink would be best. 🥰

I remodeled a kitchen 20 years ago I feel so lost. Glad to find you😊

[lahaza]

Wonderful & helpful.
I really don't mean this in a mean way at all because you are well spoken & lovely, but one thing that
would make a huge difference in presentation would be to say something like;
"You'll have no scratching" or "You won't have any scratching" "You won't get any scratching" vs "you don't have no scratching."
"You don't have no scratching" doesn't sound like you're as well spoken as you obviously are.

I’m remodeling and I going towards a fireclay sink single bowl. Thank you for this video

[garrywilkinson]

Wow..really appreciated your video as there were so many invaluable points raised that in the end would save money and aggravation

[KrissyReloaded]

I'm remodeling my kitchen and I've leaving heavily toward a copper sink. They are infinitely recyclable, which is important to me. But also because as you touched on, people aren't putting copper sinks in boring kitchens.

Would you possibly make a video on what size sink you recommend for different size islands? I’m currently building and will have a 6 foot island with the sink in the island, and have no idea what size sink I should get!
I want the sink to be big but not over take the island! P.s. I love your videos. They are all so helpful!

[manax]

Very clear explanation of this topic. Thank you.

[anituzman]

I enjoyed your video and your enthusiasm! Question: I do not see a link to your favorite granite composite company. Thanks!

[pegscrap]

Nice overview and lots of good "heads-up" warnings about easily overlooked factors. But I'm curious that you did not mention soap stone as a material. I've heard it's really good and wears well. A couple people I know have it and love it. Thanks!

[pennysebanc]

Thank you so much for all the valuable information. I will certainly subscribe

My choice...quartz undermount sink with duel bowl and lower divider. I've learned so much with this video. And if the viewers are listening to this video and absorbing all Kerstin has to offer professionally, then give this gal a THUMBS UP!!! It's difficult enough to create content information, then put it into concise video arrangement, but the editing, and getting the video to a finished product is time consuming. Give her a THUMBS UP if you learned anything here.. I know I did. THUMBS UP!!!

I have a fibreglass sink😅 for 30 years plus and it still looks like the day I bought it.

[TonyTundra.]

Fire clay undermount single bowl off set drain white farm house utility sink I didn't even know utility sinks existed once I saw the features and accessories sold and a ceramic disc faucet must have.

[trinaroe]

The other issue with under mount deeper sinks is back issues when using them, according to family & friends who have switched, because they are having to bend more!

[Bob_in_Vista]

They do make undermount sinks for laminate countertops. Formica has a web page with information on what kind of undermount sinks will work for this application.
