People who don't cook may not know how bad it is not to choose a kitchen sink. You will definitely tell if it's not just a sink for washing vegetables and dishes, just choose what you want, it doesn't happen that many people pay attention to.

The truth is not like that! If you don't believe me, just ask your little chef

▶Have you been splashed on your body while washing dishes?

▶Do you feel like sink is too small when you wash pot?

▶Afraid that when cleaning countertop, debris will fill up in cracks?

Choosing a good sink will not only make cooking easier, it will also save you time on cooking. If you can't cook, at least she'll be a little more comfortable cooking.

One. Number of shells

Sinks can be combined depending on number and size in following ways:

1. Small Single Slot

▶Total size less than 650mm

More suitable for kitchens with a relatively small kitchen area

2. Large Single Slot

▶Overall size over 850mm

Very practical, you can completely put a washing pan in it

3. Two slots of same size

▶The characteristic is that two slots are same size and are less commonly used in China

You can make functional partitions to separate dirty from clean. The common double tank is not very convenient for washing pan, and you can’t put it all way. It’s easy to splash water when cleaning

4. One large and one small double slot

It is more suitable for national conditions of China. The large one can be put in a wok, large one can wash dishes and pans, and small one can wash vegetables and fruits

5. Multislots

For example, many complain that disadvantage of a single slot is that there is no separate slot for soaking vegetables and fruits, and water is drained during cleaning. But in fact, many people only buy a basin for washing vegetables, so it still depends on their normal usage habits.

▶It's bullying to talk about whether a single slot or a double slot is better without using a scene and a specific situation. . .

2. Shell Material

The most common sink is made of stainless steel, but now there are also new materials such as ceramics, artificial stone and granite.

▶Stainless steel is mostly 304, durable and easy to clean, and price is relatively cheap.

When buying, pay attention to thickness, thicker better, thickest can be up to 1.5mm, remember to choose matte matte surface, which is more resistant to dirt and wear, and glossy surface is easy to leave water stains. and scratches. Many people make ceramics too, it's same as ceramic washbasins in bathrooms, they are also oil resistant and easy to care for, but they are easy to break and do not succumb to external forces.

▶Artificial stone is mainly composed of quartz stone, which has high wear resistance and scratch-resistant hardness, seamlessly connects with countertop, and has high aesthetics, there will be no moldy black edges around. glass glue, and price is more expensive than previous two. When washing dishes, they will bump into dishes.

▶Granite is also very expensive. It withstands high temperatures above 280°C and does not fade, but stains easily. It changes color when poured with vinegar. It needs to be cleaned frequently. As an artificial stone, it will also rattle when washing dishes. If budget is limited, choose stainless steel, if you want to be more beautiful and stylish, you can consider artificial stone or granite.

3. Choosing an installation method

There are three ways: overhead washbasin, Taichung washbasin and undercounter washbasin.

▶Sink Sink: This is easiest and most convenient installation method. There is a hole in countertop that is slightly smaller than size of sink. Then place sink on countertop and attach a circle of glass glue around it. This method has a good bearing capacity, but it is difficult to clean, and glass adhesive will mold and blacken at a later stage.

▶Taizhong Washbasin: This installation method is to polish periphery of countertop after opening hole, so that edge of basin fits exactly into countertop and is flush with countertop. This method is generally beautiful, but installation cost is high, because. polishing is laborious, countertop can not be flush if workmanship is not good, gap between sink and countertop is also difficult to clean.

▶Under-counter sink: Unlike over-counter sink, this installation method requires opening a hole slightly wider than inside edge of sink. The sink is glued to bottom of countertop, and then fixed with buckles or stone, or built-in go. The overall appearance is beautiful and it is easy to clean, but installation is difficult, there are additional costs, and storage space under sink will be reduced, and load-bearing capacity is not as good as that of sink above countertop.
