Crosstown Sinks: Stylish Simplicity With easy installation and cleanup-friendly designs, these sinks will make holiday meals even more enjoyable.

“

Equally functional and beautiful, Elkay sinks make kitchen cleanup quick and easy.

”

According to the American Institute of Architect’s Home Design Trends Survey, more activities are taking place in kitchens, the “control centers” of the home. By creating inspired new sink designs, Elkay is bringing this vibrant space to life for homeowners.

In its new Crosstown sink series, Elkay offers nine new undermount styles and eight new Slim Rim styles. Each hand-fabricated sink uses 18-gauge, type 304 stainless steel, showcasing high-quality urban design.

The Crosstown undermount options include two apron front sinks, which slip over the front edge of the existing standard cabinet base, making installation a snap. If you want easy installation plus a sink that will help make kitchen cleanup simpler, consider the new Slim Rim styles. They do not require changing countertops, and when top mounted, the Slim Rim design makes it easy to sweep crumbs and water over the flat edge and into the sink.

No matter which model you choose, all Crosstown sinks maximize your work space with a 17” front-to-back bowl dimension, a 9” depth and easy-to-clean 15 millimeter radius corners.

These functional features make these sinks the stylish, simple option you’ve been looking for.

Immersed in Innovation Sink into Aquatic’s newest, most relaxing tubs

Q

If consumers wish to build the bath of their dreams, where should they begin?

A

Designing a bathroom can be enjoyable as long as you have the right inspiration. Go online to www.aquaticbath.com and view inspiration galleries under the “design center” tab.

Once you have an inspiration, factor in your family’s needs and your budget. A Showroom Consultant can help direct you to your dream bathtub.

Q

What is the newest tub style available from Aquatic?

A

The brand new family of clean-lined tubs, available in drop-in, skirted and aboveAVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM AQUATIC on select Serenity and Serenity Studio floor rough skirted models. The models, the DriftBath hydrotherapy experience gently soothes your entire body. collection features streamlined yet comfortable styling, which is an evolution of today’s popular minimalist design.

Q

For the most relaxing bath experience at home, what Aquatic brand tub do you recommend?

A

The greatest tub style that Aquatic offers – and that we recently installed in our showroom – is the DriftBath, which is available exclusively on the Serenity series.. The DriftBath hydrotherapy experience using a soft current, without any jet action or vigorous swirl bubbles. Up to 70 ports in the back and foot areas release individual streams of water that converge into a single flowing motion to creating a soft blanket effect and gently soothe your entire body. This system is efficient and quiet. We love it here at PDI.

Q

Some consumers are more “shower” people. Why should they invest in Aquatic’s latest tub?

A

Everyone is always on the go this day and age, but I cannot tell you how important it is for your relaxation, health and well-being to take time for yourself. Investing in a tub not only has been proven to reduce stress but also reduce anxiety and depression, alleviate pain and stiffness, eliminate toxins and stimulate the immune system.

Know Your Kitchen Layouts Know your kitchen. Before you even think about renovating, you must first have a sense of what you’re working with. Or what you’re working toward!

Below, we list four types of basic kitchen layouts, according to the NKBA (National Kitchen and Bath Association). All of these illustrate the concept of the “work triangle.” or the distance between the three main work areas: sink, cooktop and refrigerator. For maximum efficiency, the work triangle should follow these guidelines: • Each triangle leg should be 4 to 9 feet long, and the sum of the three should not exceed 26 feet.

• Cabinetry should not intersect any leg of the triangle.

• General traffic patterns should not interfere with the work triangle.

• Islands should have at least 3 to 4 feet of aisle on each side. Avoid placing the island between two points of the triangle.

Galley (Two Wall)

L-shape

The galley consists of two facing walls and usually is found in condos and apartments. The work triangle is efficient, but the aisle between the two countertops is narrow. This option is a good plan for one cook.

In this kitchen design, two perpendicular walls contain the three main elements— sink, cooktop and refrigerator—to create a natural triangle. The L-shape kitchen generally will have ample counter space and lends itself to the inclusion of an island.

Speaking of islands...wondering where they are in these illustrations? We asked Brittany Gardner, Certified Kitchen Designer and President Elect for the GA Chapter of NKBA 2015-2017, about islands. Here’s what she said: “Everyone always wants to add an island in remodeling (and new construction) but it’s easier said than done! There are space requirements for islands and homeowners

U-shape

G-shape

The U-shape kitchen uses three walls, or two walls with an attached peninsula.

This layout is very efficient because it allows the cook to pivot among the stations, provides excellent storage and can accommodate two cooks. A center island often is included in the larger versions of this plan.

This option is basically a U-shaped kitchen with a fourth wall, which is usually opposite the sink and contains additional appliances, a pantry or a desk.

Generally one of the largest layouts, the G-shape allows for more amenities than any other layout.

need to research those requirements for their own kitchen plans before deciding on whether they want to add an island.”
