Kitchen sink
Choosing the best washing option, you should pay attention to its installation in kitchen furniture. The sink can be overhead and mortise. Invoice – mounted in a specially designed and usually separate cabinet and does not depend on the countertop and other elements of the kitchen. Soldered – can be cut in any convenient place of the countertop, in which the same shape is cut out as that of the shell of the shell. In this case, the sink is a single ensemble with a countertop. This option is very common in the modern market and looks stylish in the kitchen of any design-from classics to high-tech. While the overhead sinks were more successful in the 80s of the last century, when the kitchen furniture was not made under the individual order of the client, but was the same type.
When choosing a sink, you should pay special attention to what it is actually made of. The main criterion for the durability of the sink is its material. From past years, stainless steel shells have been common. They are quite reliable, practical in use, resistant to aggressive substances and environments, do not rust and relatively inexpensive. More modern material for sinks – artificial stone. This is a composite material consisting of a combination of granite, marble, quartz or other crumbs with polymers. Natural baby provides reliability, strength and durability, and thanks to polymer you can choose color, an external aesthetic look of the sink. This production technology made it possible to achieve ideal polishing of the surface, any pollution is removed without any effort, the surface does not scratch from random blows, the washing withstands the heating temperature to 280 degrees, and the thickness of its walls absorbs the sound of dripping water. All these qualities make such shells very attractive to the consumer.
It should be noted that the device of modern sinks is carefully thought out. The easiest option – with one bowl – is intended only for washing dishes. For defrosting meat, washing of vegetables and fruits, additional bowls are used, which can be less deep than the main, as well as different sizes and are located at different levels. The sink may have an additional wing located on the right or to the left of the bowl.
In addition, the modern sink is equipped with all kinds of accessories, auxiliary attributes that make it much more convenient and more functional. It can be a cutting board – a working surface for cutting, cutting products that are installed on the wing of the sink or on the sink itself. The most common material for the cutting board is wood, plastic. Another washing accessory is Kolander – a plastic or steel with holes at the bottom of the pallet, most often a rectangular shape used as a coachman. The sink can be supplemented with a basket for drying dishes. This is a design with holders for plates (and sometimes for cups, glasses, cutlery), which is installed either on the wing of the sink, or above it.
Size, the shape of the accessories depends on the parameters of the sink. The choice of the material from which auxiliary attributes are made is affected by the design of the kitchen, its style, design. Additional accessories are designed to save the kitchen area and turn even a small sink into a multifunctional center, which will ultimately make homework more pleasant and easy.
