What does exposed-front mean?
The answer
An exposed-front sink has a thick front face that remains visible in the kitchen, sitting in line with the cabinet doors; it is the shape most people picture as a classic butler sink. It lets you stand close to the bowl and gives the kitchen a distinctive look. The cabinet needs to be made or altered to suit it, and the cut must be neat and accurate because gaps are visible, so ask for the maker's installation drawing first.
