Belfast Or Butler?
Belfast Sinks
Butler Sinks
If you've never owned a Butler sink or Belfast sink before then you may be wondering what the difference between the two types of kitchen sinks is. The simple answer is Belfast sinks are typically deeper and feature overflows, whereas Butler sinks aren't as deep and don't have an overflow.
Belfast sinks originate from... yes, you guessed it, Belfast! They are the most popular of the two sink types mainly because of their depth and overflow. They come in single bowl and double bowl designs and are made with extra strong ceramic for durability.
As Butler sinks originated from London, at a time when water was being conserved, it doesn't feature an overflow. Being shallower, it also requires less water to fill it. Butler sinks are popular in traditional UK homes and there are double bowl options for those who use more water.
