Apron front sinks, also known as farm sinks, are distictly noted by their exposed front. Rather than having the sink built into the counter, the front is exposed and juts out from the counter. They are also large, as this style of sink is typically used for multiple purposes and supporting a large family.
More people are incooperating apron front sinks into their homes because of the rural style and how easy they are to replace. They don’t directly hook up to the faucet like other sink styles, so they can be easily changed out.
