The kitchen should be comfortable and beautiful. A kitchen sink is a central part of every kitchen. A kitchen sink is a bowl-shaped fixture that is used for washing hands or small objects. Some even have cutting boards and integral drainers built into them to add to the ease and convenience of the prep and cleaning process. Some sinks are equipped with soap dispensers.
How to choose a kitchen sink.
Before we proceed to the choice of washing it is necessary to know all the answers to three questions:
1. What type of installation?
2. What material best suits your needs? Stainless sinks, Porcelain, Acrylic, Solid surface?
Stainless Steel is the most popular sink material. Their look is timeless and complements stainless appliances.
Stainless sinks are labeled with the amount of chromium and nickel contained in the steel.
Porcelain sinks are easily stained and scratched. They are often white.
The acrylic kitchen sinks are becoming popular day by day. Available in distinctive varieties of colors and sizes.
Solid surface sinks are made from a blend of polyester or acrylic resins and natural fillers. This type of sink generally offers the most styles to choose from.
3. Size, number of bowls, bowl orientation.
The size of the sink you select will depend on available counter space. The standard kitchen sink is 22 by 30 inches. It is very important that you know the size of the kitchen cabinet your sink will go it to.
How many bowls do you want? Depending on your needs, sinks can come with one, two or 3 bowls.
