Classic Design, Built for Australian Kitchens

The butler sink — also known as a butlers sink or farmhouse sink — is one of the most enduring kitchen designs. Originally built for Victorian sculleries, the deep single or double bowl and flat front apron have found their way into modern Australian renovations, from coastal kitchens to inner-city terraces. Zure's range covers every major material and configuration, so you can match the sink to the kitchen rather than the other way around.

Materials

Stainless Steel and Fireclay Butler Sinks

Stainless steel butler sinks are the practical choice — hygienic, heat-resistant, and easy to clean after heavy prep sessions. Fireclay butler sinks deliver the classic matte white finish associated with heritage kitchen design; fired at high temperatures, the glaze is stain and scratch resistant and holds its colour over years of use. Both materials suit a butler kitchen sink installation where the fixture is the centrepiece rather than an afterthought.

Practical & Hygienic
Hygienic, heat-resistant, and easy to clean after heavy prep sessions. The go-to material for kitchens that see real daily use.
Fireclay
Heritage Glaze Finish
Delivers the classic matte white finish associated with heritage kitchen design. Fired at high temperatures — the glaze is stain and scratch resistant and holds its colour over years of use.
Ceramic
White & Black Options
Available in white and black gloss finishes. White suits Hamptons and provincial kitchens; black holds its edge alongside dark cabinetry and brushed brass tapware.
Size Guide

Single Bowl, Double Bowl, and Size Options

Check the product dimensions before ordering — apron-front sinks require a cabinet with a recessed front panel. A small butler sink from 500mm suits a butler's pantry or compact laundry where bench space is tight.
500mm
Pantry & Compact Laundry

Suits a butler's pantry or tight laundry cabinet run. Single bowl only.

600–700mm
Standard Kitchen

The most common single bowl configuration for main kitchen runs with standard bench depth.

750–850mm
Island & Main Kitchen

Larger single bowl for island benches where you need full depth and clear drainage.

DoubleBowl
Two-Zone Setup

Splits the basin into two — ideal for separating washing and rinsing, or prep and clean-up.

Sizing Tip

Apron-front sinks require a cabinet with a recessed or open front panel — a standard door will sit behind the apron, not flush with it. Confirm the sink's apron height and overall depth with your cabinet maker before fabrication begins.

Ceramic, White, and Black Butler Sinks

A white butler sink or ceramic butler sink is the natural pairing for Hamptons, provincial, and coastal kitchens where warmth matters. Both white and black finishes are available across single bowl configurations in Zure's range.

Black butler sinks are one of the fastest-growing finishes in Australian kitchen renovations — they hold their edge alongside dark cabinetry, brushed brass tapware, and stone benchtops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a butler sink?

A butler sink is a deep basin with an exposed front apron that sits proud of the cabinet face. Originally used in domestic service kitchens, the design is common in renovated Australian homes for both kitchen and laundry. The deep basin handles large pots and soaking; the apron front is a strong design statement.

What's the difference between a butler sink and a Belfast sink?

Traditionally a Belfast sink includes a built-in overflow; a butler sink does not. In Australian usage both terms are often used interchangeably to describe the same deep apron-front style. Some models in Zure's range include an integrated overflow — check the individual product spec sheet to confirm.

Do butler sinks suit a laundry?

Yes. Butler sink laundry installations are popular because the deep basin handles bulky items like boots and soaking laundry. A small butler sink from 500–600mm fits neatly into a standard laundry cabinet. Check the waste outlet position on the product spec sheet before ordering.

What cabinet do I need for a butler sink?

Butler sinks require a base cabinet with a recessed or open front panel — a standard door will sit behind the apron, not flush with it. Confirm the sink's apron height and overall depth with your cabinet maker before fabrication begins.

Does Zure offer free shipping on butler sinks?

Zure offers free shipping on orders over $100 across most of Australia. Bulky and fragile items may attract additional freight charges to WA, NT, and TAS. Contact the Zure team on 02 9000 1811 for a freight quote on specific products.

Can I install bathroom lighting myself?

No. All fixed electrical installations in Australian bathrooms — including vanity lights, exhaust fans, and heat/fan/light combos — must be installed by a licensed electrician under AS/NZS 3000:2018. This applies across all Australian states and territories.
