A generation or two ago, your kitchen sink would almost certainly not have doubled as a workstation for cleaning and cutting your food, in addition to draining and drying your dishes. And the faucet certainly would not have turned itself on and off with the tap or wave of your hand, or at the sound of your voice.

Today’s technology has made all of this—and more—possible, and Longley has made it all available to designers, contractors and discerning homeowners.

Among their many benefits, multi-functional workspace sinks free up coveted counter space for other activities, an innovative solution for people who value efficiency and optimum use of space.

Modern designs often feature generously sized sink bowls and multi-level work areas, and may include integrated accessories such as cutting boards, colanders, drying racks, roller mats and a bottom grid. Some even include inset storage for knife sets. Sinks today may have one extra-large bowl to accommodate larger items, or be divided into two smaller bowls to compartmentalize tasks.

Beyond options for functionality, today’s kitchen sinks are available in a variety of materials from sleek stainless steel to black granite composite and traditional fireclay. Today’s porcelain glazed sinks may remind you of your grandparents’ kitchen sink, just without the chips or food stains.

Kitchen faucets have come a long way too. They have evolved from a low spout design with two handles and an awkward side spray, to a kitchen focal point with many different styles and finishes to choose from. You can even get a faucet that operates by voice command; if only they could do the dishes for us too!
