Methven Culinary Gaston Sink Mixer Pull Down Black Accent Lead Free

Top mount sinks sit on the benchtop and suit laminate benches or replacing an old sink. Undermount sinks fit under stone benchtops so you can wipe crumbs straight in, while flushline sinks sit level with the bench for a seamless look.

A single large bowl suits big pots and baking trays, while double and 1.5 bowl sinks let you wash and rinse at the same time. Add a drainer if you hand-wash a lot, or choose a bowl-only sink to free up bench space.

Stainless steel is tough, easy to clean and often the most affordable choice, making it a practical pick for busy family kitchens. Granite composite sinks in black or white make a modern statement, while fireclay butler sinks bring a classic look to Hamptons and country-style kitchens.

Measure your cabinet width and benchtop cut-out, and check the tap hole count, as many sinks have no tap hole and need a bench-mounted mixer. For sinks with a drainer, confirm whether you need a left- or right-hand bowl.
