I love my wooden worktops, I really do. I love the rich warmth that it brings to my room, the way it is with other materials, and even the eyelet of oiling from time to time. The only thing I don't enjoy is the water -marked section that is around my sink.
You see something happens when your beautiful wooden leaves hit your ideas for the sink of the kitchen and was not on my dream kitchen Moodboard. So I was looking for a solution to this problem. But I didn't just want a quick fix; The right solution had to have an aesthetic value, as well as a practical value, surprisingly difficult to find.
So imagine my joy when I discovered these clever marble tap inserts that use the kitchen brand a lot in your projects. Not only have the risk of rotting wood around my sink, also effectively removed, but also added a sweet but simple, luxurious touch in my room. Win-win situation.
What are TAP inserts?
If you choose a natural stone with tones similar to your worktop, you can create an even more seamless finish.

Although these may sound mysterious, their function is so simple that they are shocked that they are not already in every modern kitchen. Helen Parker from Devol explains the design and says: “A tip is a piece of marble that fits properly behind her sink with circular hole cutouts for water floors, Rinser, etc.
These are one of these small, slightly forgotten kitchen additives that can have a surprisingly significant influence on both the appearance and the feeling of their overall design. “It is rectangular and fits behind your sink and stops properly on the edges of the sink,” she continues.
The main function of these operations is to protect the meters that surround their sink, a practical addition to kitchens with butcher block worktops.
“The wooden worktop is then equipped as far enough for this use so that direct water is affected. A tip is used as your worktop, the length of a sink and about 150 mm deep,” explains Helen.
Following these measurements ensures that their use fits seamlessly with their worktops and enables an elegant finish.

Helen entered Devol as a kitchen designer in 2004 after a lengthy sabbatical education of a family. Helen was promoted to the position of creative director in 2011 after showing a innate ability to predict trends and to give a style of devol, and has continued this role since then.
Why do you need them?
The porosity of your worktops determines whether a TAP insert is useful for you or not.

If you have wooden panels, you are probably already familiar with the problems that solves this practical solution.
If you are not, Helen gives an explanation: “These missions are used in connection with wooden or porous worktops. They enable you to have wooden worktops to have your sink without gradually coloring and rotting over time, due to its proximity to the hooks and washing of clothes, etc.”. “
As beautiful as wooden plates, they are not exactly a low-maintenance kitchen worktop, and the constant stress of maintenance can quickly affect their beautiful rustic farmhouse kitchen look.
“The cone through wood is not a good recipe for the longevity of your kitchen worktops, wood will be black over time when it is constantly moist, and although it can be sanded and oiled back, it is a tedious task and definitely not a problematic, maintenance -free option,” says Helen.
These operations relieve this stress and protect their meters from water exposure, which leads to rotted and premature aging.
Where can sink inserts be used
A tip with tips would also be a helpful addition to wooden baths or wardrobe.

You will also be happy to know that not only kitchens can benefit from this decent small design additive. Quite every room with a sink is a strong candidate for these missions.
With such an inappropriate, torn design, you don't even have to worry about adapting your specific design style. “I think a marble insert could be used in any kind of kitchen, scullerie or wardrobe start.
The concept is based on the washing material, which is well suited for the water load. Even if this marble is not suitable for your kitchen, you can still deal with this style. And as Helen explains: “We make inserts in granite and also copper, every material that can withstand the water would be suitable, perhaps slate or travertine. Lime stone can be a little too porous, so stick to a solid surface stone or a metal.”
