Apron Front Sink
A sink style — also called a farmhouse sink — where the front panel of the sink extends past the countertop edge and is visible below the counter line. Installing an apron front sink requires a specialized sink base cabinet with a modified face frame opening. These sinks are available in fireclay, cast iron, stainless steel, and copper, and serve as a focal design element in farmhouse and transitional kitchens.
