What Is A Vintage-Inspired Wall Mount Farmhouse Sink?
A classic style wall mount farmhouse sink typically has an integrated backsplash with a hole to allow a faucet to come out from the wall.
The look of the basin is often similar to that of a short apron front sink, or it will have a rolled edge allowing a similar affect. They were historically often made from cast iron that was enameled and would have integrated drainboards so it could function independently of any other cabinet.
This charming historic look inspires the new wave of vintage-inspired farmhouse sinks with similar integrated backsplashes and short aprons that brings classic style and a sense of nostalgia back into our modern kitchens.

What Are Vintage-Inspired Wall Mount Farmhouse Sinks Made Out Of?
Enameled Cast Iron Farmhouse Sinks-
Historically, these sinks were made from cast iron that was enameled with white. This made them extremely sturdy and they could hold up well to regular use. The downside of cast iron is that it is also very heavy which means hanging a sink from this material can take extra reinforcement to ensure it is safely in place.
Vitreous China & Porcelain Enamel Farmhouse Sinks -
Vitreous china is an enamel coating often used with porcelain in order to create a more durable layer that can withstand heavy use. These sinks are not as heavy as cast iron, but are also not as solid. Luckily, the coating is good at resisting stains and is a sanitary material.
Glazed Steel Farmhouse Sinks-
Made from steel and coated with a thin white enamel, these sinks are light which makes them ideal for wall mounting, but also durable because of the enamel coating - that is also scratch and stain resistant.
Acrylic Farmhouse Sinks -
These cast acrylic sinks are lightweight, fairly durable, and are a great choice for many updated homes. They are also easy to care for and don’t have many of the same downfalls as other sinks with a coating that might wear or chip over time.

Considerations When Choosing A Vintage-Inspired Farmhouse Sink:
Many of these sinks can be quite heavy, especially those made from enameled cast iron. For that reason, it can sometimes take extra steps to ensure that wall mounting is the best option. For this reason, people will choose to have a stand or cabinet for the sink to sit in. Other times, reinforcing the wall is possible to make sure it can support the weight.
It is not uncommon for kitchen sinks to not have an overflow feature that would be common for many bathroom sinks. It is good to keep this in mind as you will have to carefully select the right drain to meet your needs and protect your home from potential water damage if a faucet is left running.
Some of the sinks will not have drains that are compatible with garbage disposals. While this is not an issue if you plan to use the sink in a bathroom or laundry room, it is a good thing to consider on the front end if that is a necessity and you’re planning to use the sink in your kitchen.
This style of sink has exposed plumbing beneath it. That means it is important to let your plumber know ahead of time that you will want to have decorative options for your waste pipes to create the best look for your space.
