This unique design allows the copper element to be noticed from a distance, adding to its visual appeal.
What Is an Apron Sink?
Many people tend to confuse copper apron sinks with copper farm sinks. At first glance, they do, in fact, appear very similar. The main feature of both sinks is the fact that the from panel of the sink itself is exposed instead of being hidden behind the rim of the counter or cabinetry. Since this feature is unique to these two types of sinks, it is understandable to see why they would get placed into the same category. The main difference between a copper farm sink and a copper apron sink is usually only noticed when you examine the two models from a closer distance. The farm sink is known for its extremely deep form, making the overall volume of the sink much larger than traditional models. The apron sink however is designed to be of similar depth to a standard kitchen sink.

An farm sink must often be designed around while an apron sink can be worked into an existing design.
