How to choose suitable sinks?
The sink is mainly used for washing items and draining water, and it will be installed in almost every household. But many people like to understand the stainless steel sink as a place for washing vegetables and dishes in the kitchen. In fact, this understanding is not completely correct. After all, not all sinks are only installed in the kitchen. So when it comes to stainless steel sinks, there may be many people who will just dismiss it. Although the sink is not usually discussed much, it is undeniable that it is definitely one of the most frequently used items in every household. Therefore, you need to pay more attention when purchasing a sink. If you are not careful, you may choose a defective product. Some time ago, our house was renovated, and I did a lot of homework in order to buy a suitable sink. In order to prevent everyone from taking so many detours, I decided to share my experience. If you also plan to install a sink, hope my experience is useful to you!
1.Sink classification
Stainless steel sinks can be basically divided into single sinks, double sinks, three basin sinks, wing sinks and multifunctional sinks. Therefore, many people do not know whether they should choose a single or double tank when purchasing a sink. This is still based on their own actual situation and convenient habits. Let me analyze it in detail below.
- Single slot sink
There are two types of single slot, small single slot and large single slot. The size of the small single slot is generally below 650mm, and the size of the large single slot is generally above 850mm. The common single tanks on the market are generally large single tanks. Such stainless steel sink basins are larger and feel more comfortable when used. Most of these sinks are rectangular and can be used with a drain basket. Large pots and utensils at home can also be easily cleaned.
Single-slot kitchen countertops are suitable for all sizes, especially for homes with a large population. Single-slot kitchen sinks are more practical.
- Double slot sink
The double tank is the most popular type on the market at present, and it is also very practical. This type of stainless steel sink is mostly sub-basin (one large and one small). The main basin + auxiliary basin can be combined, and both sides can be started at the same time. The one I bought myself is a double tank. When washing dishes, one side is used for washing and the other side is used for flushing. When washing vegetables, another basin is equipped with a draining basket to drain the water, so that water will not accumulate on the countertop.
Double tanks are suitable for kitchens with large countertops, especially for families with dishwashers and families with a small population. It is better to choose double tanks.
- Stainless steel sink with wings
This kind of sink is not very popular in China, and it is indeed not suitable for the domestic kitchen environment. It is very popular abroad.
2.Material and technology of sink
There are many materials used to make sinks, but the more popular materials on the market are stainless steel, artificial stone and granite.
- Stainless steel sink
Stainless steel sinks are the most common on the market at present. Its colors and styles are more versatile, and can be easily integrated into various styles of kitchen environments. The price of this type of sink is not very high, and it is more suitable for most families. .
The best quality of stainless steel sink is SUS304 stainless steel. This SUS304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, and the quality is relatively durable. In addition, 201 stainless steel is not as corrosion resistant as SUS304 stainless steel, but it is also very popular in the market because of its affordable price.
- Granite sink
The granite sink, also known as the quartz sink, is very strong and wear-resistant. Its material and craftsmanship are relatively advanced. Generally, it will not be scratched by a knife, and the granite sink can withstand high temperatures, 300 degrees Celsius. There is no problem with high temperature, it is the longest service life of these materials. The price is a bit more expensive than the stainless steel sink. Quartz stone sinks are very heavy. If you install this type of sink, you must choose cabinets and countertops with better support in advance.
- Artificial stone sink
The color of artificial stone is relatively rich, which can improve the appearance of the kitchen to a certain extent, and the artificial stone is not as expensive as natural materials, and the price is relatively reasonable. However, the texture of this kind of sink is not very hard, it is easy to scratch it with sharp knives, and some hard objects can also cause damage to it, and this kind of sink also needs to be cleaned regularly, and it is easy to cause stains if it is not cleaned for a long time. Accumulation affects the appearance and also damages the finish.
2.The process of the sink mainly includes two kinds of manufacturing process and surface treatment process.
Production process: one-piece stretch forming and manual welding two kinds.
- One-piece stretch forming: It is a sink punched out by a machine, without welds, less consumption, flat and smooth surface, relatively simple process, and relatively cheap. Because it is stretched by machine, it is generally a relatively large R position. The disadvantage is that the thickness of the pelvic gallbladder is relatively thin.
- Manual welding: The appearance is high-end and atmospheric, and it is made by laser cutting, manual welding and polishing of the steel plate. The thickness is thicker, more durable, and the hand-welded sink R position is relatively small, the pan is deeper than the stretched pan, and the water is not easy to splash out during use.
Surface treatment process: mainly refers to the treatment of stainless steel surface, mainly including wire drawing, sandblasting, polishing, embossing, nanometer.
- The brushed sink has a shiny surface, easy to take care of, abrasion-resistant and scratch-resistant, and more practical. It is the first choice for most households.
- The sandblasted sink (pearl silver surface) is not easy to get oily, it looks matte, but it is not very wear-resistant.
- The polishing process is the best-looking at first, but its surface is so easily scratched that its appearance will plummet soon after use.
- The embossed material is more wear-resistant, but the cost is higher, so the price is higher.
- The surface of the nano-sink has excellent acid resistance, alkali resistance and high weather resistance. The lacquer has a fine and shiny texture, and the color is even and almost no color difference. The color selection is rich and diverse, and the product is bright and durable and easy to match. The surface is waterproof and oil resistant, and easy to clean. It is the best choice for top kitchen.Does my sharing work for you?I will continue to share more experiences with sink selection and installation.Looking forward to your attention.
