Frequently Asked Questions
A double bowl sink has two separate basins — typically one large and one small — allowing you to wash in one side and rinse or stack in the other. This makes it easy to separate tasks like washing dishes and prepping food, or soaking cookware while still having a free basin to use. Double bowls are ideal for busy kitchens where multiple tasks happen at once. If you have a smaller kitchen or prefer maximum washing space for large pots and baking trays, a single bowl sink may be the better fit.
A butler sink (also called a farmhouse or Belfast sink) is a deep, wide ceramic basin originally designed for heavy-duty kitchen work. Key features include:
- Made from durable fireclay ceramic that resists stains and scratches
- Deep bowl ideal for soaking large cookware
- Exposed front face that sits proud of the cabinetry for a classic look
- Available in single and double bowl configurations
Butler sinks suit both traditional and modern kitchen designs and are particularly popular in hamptons-style kitchens.
A granite composite sink is made from a blend of natural granite stone and resin, creating an extremely hard-wearing surface. Advantages include:
- Highly resistant to scratches, chips, and heat
- Non-porous surface that resists stains and bacterial growth
- Available in a range of colours including black, grey, and white
- Quieter than stainless steel — absorbs sound and vibration
Granite sinks are an excellent choice if you want a premium, low-maintenance sink that stands up to heavy daily use.
When selecting a laundry tub, consider the following:
- Size — measure your available space carefully, including depth for freestanding cabinets
- Bowl depth — deeper bowls are better for soaking and hand-washing clothes
- Cabinet or standalone — laundry tubs with integrated cabinets provide storage for detergent and cleaning supplies
- Material — stainless steel is the most common and durable option for laundry use
- Bypass kit — some laundry tubs include a bypass for connecting your washing machine
A pull-out kitchen mixer has a detachable spray head connected to a flexible hose that pulls out from the spout. This allows you to direct water exactly where you need it — making it easier to rinse large pots, fill containers on the benchtop, and clean around the sink. Most pull-out mixers offer both a stream and spray mode. They are one of the most practical upgrades you can make to a kitchen sink setup.
Start by measuring the width of your sink cabinet — the sink must fit within the cabinet frame. For undermount and drop-in sinks, you also need to account for the benchtop cutout dimensions. As a general guide:
- Single bowl sinks typically range from 450mm to 760mm wide
- Double bowl sinks typically range from 760mm to 900mm wide
- Bowl depth of 200mm or more is recommended for comfortable use
Always check the product specifications and cutout template before purchasing to ensure a proper fit with your cabinetry.
Yes. In Australia, any work involving connection to water supply or drainage must be carried out by a licensed plumber. This includes installing new sinks, replacing existing sinks, and connecting mixers or taps. Using a licensed tradesperson ensures the work complies with Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3500) and your local plumbing regulations. Unlicensed plumbing work can void your home insurance and may result in fines.

Kitchen, Laundry & Butler Sinks — Buying Guide
Choosing the right sink is one of the most important decisions in any kitchen or laundry renovation. Your sink is one of the hardest-working fixtures in the home — used dozens of times a day for cooking, cleaning, and everything in between. The right choice depends on your space, your daily routine, and the look you want to achieve.
Kitchen Sink Types
The two main decisions for a kitchen sink are bowl configuration and material. Single bowl sinks maximise washing space and are ideal for smaller kitchens or anyone who regularly handles large cookware. Double bowl sinks split the workspace so you can wash on one side and rinse, drain, or prep food on the other.
For materials, stainless steel remains the most popular choice for its durability, affordability, and ease of cleaning. Granite composite sinks are a step up in both aesthetics and performance — they are scratch-resistant, heat-resistant, and available in a range of colours to complement modern kitchen designs. Butler (fireclay ceramic) sinks offer a classic, timeless look with exceptional durability and stain resistance.
Installation Methods
Kitchen sinks are installed using one of three methods. Undermount sinks are fitted beneath the benchtop for a seamless, easy-to-clean finish — these are the most popular choice for stone benchtops. Drop-in (top-mount) sinks sit on top of the benchtop with a visible rim and are typically the easiest to install. Butler sinks are front-mounted, sitting proud of the cabinetry with the front face exposed.
Laundry Tubs
A good laundry tub should be deep enough for soaking, durable enough for heavy use, and sized to fit your laundry space. Stainless steel laundry tubs are the standard for Australian homes — they are tough, hygienic, and easy to maintain. Many laundry tubs come with an integrated cabinet that provides useful storage underneath. Consider whether you need a bypass connection for your washing machine and how much benchtop space you want beside the bowl.
Choosing the Right Mixer
Your kitchen mixer is just as important as the sink itself. Pull-out kitchen mixers offer the most flexibility, with a detachable spray head on a flexible hose for directing water wherever you need it. Standard kitchen mixers with a fixed or swivel spout are a reliable, budget-friendly option. When choosing, consider your spout height (a higher spout makes it easier to fill tall pots) and whether you want a single-lever or dual-handle design.
Australian Compliance
All kitchen and laundry sinks, taps, and mixers sold in Australia must carry a WaterMark certification, confirming they meet Australian plumbing standards. Water-efficient mixers will also carry a WELS star rating. All installation work must be completed by a licensed plumber in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.
