How to choose a kitchen sink?

The sink is a very important item in the kitchen decoration. As a core place for kitchen cleaning and food cleaning, washing dishes and vegetables are all done in the kitchen sink. Choosing a good kitchen sink will directly increase the happiness index of your cooking experience . So, as a standard kitchen feature, how should you choose a kitchen sink?

The common installation methods of kitchen sinks can be divided into: above-the-counter, in-the-counter and under-the-counter. The countertop is easy to install and has low construction difficulty. It is also the most common installation method. You only need to apply sealant on the edge of the sink, stick it to the edge and then seal it. However, because the edge of the sink is higher than the countertop, stains are easy to accumulate on the edge. , the accumulated water between the countertop and the sink cannot be swept directly into the sink, and cleaning will be more troublesome. The undercounter type solves this problem. The entire sink is embedded in the countertop, and the accumulated water on the countertop can be swept directly into the sink, making daily cleaning very convenient. However, the disadvantage of the undercounter type is that it is troublesome to install and more difficult to process than the countertop type. The Taichung style has the sink flush with the countertop, which solves the problem of water accumulation and is more beautiful. However, its installation is more troublesome. It requires someone to grind off the part of the sink that protrudes from the countertop, and the cost is also higher.

Stainless steel is the most common material for kitchen sinks. It has the characteristics of oil removal and stain resistance. It is not afraid of acid and alkali. It has low cost, easy processing and high cost performance.

The width of the sink is determined by the width of the kitchen countertop. Generally, the width of the sink should be the width of the countertop minus 10-15 cm, and the depth should be about 20 cm, which can prevent water splashing. If the length of the countertop is greater than 1.2m, you can choose a double sink, and if the length of the countertop is less than 1.2m, you should choose a single sink.
