How to choose?
When buying a kitchen sink, it is recommended to pay attention to some details.
Design
First of all, you should decide on the appearance of the product, its color and shape. The shade of the sink is selected depending on the kitchen interior and the color of the countertop. The form depends on the layout and size of the room. For a small kitchen, the best option would be a small round or oval sink. The advantage of such models is ease of cleaning due to the absence of corners. The disadvantage of such products is the impossibility of adding an additional bowl.
Square and rectangular sinks are the perfect solution for a medium-sized kitchen. If you have a large working area, you can put the model in its original form, and for a small kitchen triangular sinks are perfect, as they save space. The size of the sink must be selected so that after installation, the distance to the wall is 4–5 cm.
Number of sections
Another important point is the availability of additional sections. If the size of the room allows, a sink with 2 identical sections will be an excellent choice. This device is very practical and optimal for a large family. The option with a smaller extra bowl is also suitable: you can store a sponge and dishwashing liquid there. The side wing can be used to dry containers.
Installation method
The sinks differ in the installation method. They can be mortise, reversible, irreversible and table.
The first option is the easiest to install, even a beginner can handle it.To install the remaining types, you will have to contact a professional master.
When buying, be sure to check the device for damage, scratches or chips. The surface should be perfectly smooth. Pay attention to the integrity of the packaging, as well as the availability of a technical passport with instructions for use.
