The copper sink is very durable and will not chip the dishes handled in it as easily as will the iron or the enameled iron sink. However the copper sink is very expensive and hard to keep clean. 2. Be sure the sink is equipped with a good trap, with nickel-plated faucets and drain. 3. The space below the sink should never be enclosed. It only makes a harboring place for water bugs and bacteria. 4. Have the sink so high that one can work at it comfortably. 5. If the sink is long enough, it will be more sanitary to have a removable drain-board placed inside the sink. If not, a drain-board may be fastened at one end or at each end of the sink.
