What is the difference between a farm sink and an apron sink?
1 Answer
The main difference between a farm sink and an apron sink is that a farm sink is deep, while an apron sink is huge. A farm sink is more suitable for kitchens that have a rusty, country or farmhouse-like aesthetic and an apron sink can be used in modern kitchens, as it is versatile. While farm sinks are mostly made out of porcelain or ceramic, apron sinks come in a variety of materials and finishes.
