The kitchen should be comfortable and beautiful. A kitchen sink is a central part of every kitchen. A kitchen sink is a bowl-shaped fixture used for washing hands or small items. Some even have integral cutting boards and drainers built in to increase the ease and convenience of the prep and cleanup process. Some sinks are equipped with soap dispensers.

How to choose a kitchen sink.

Before proceeding to the choice of washing, it is necessary to know all the answers to three questions:

1. What type of installation?

2. What material best suits your needs? Stainless steel, porcelain, acrylic, solid surface sinks?

Stainless steel is the most popular sink material. Its look is timeless and complements stainless steel appliances.

Stainless steel sinks are labeled with the amount of chromium and nickel the steel contains.

Porcelain sinks stain and scratch easily. They are often white.

Acrylic kitchen sinks are becoming popular day by day. Available in distinctive varieties of colors and sizes.

Solid surface sinks are made from a mix of polyester or acrylic resins and natural fillers. This type of sink generally offers the most styles to choose from.

3. Size, number of bowls, bowl orientation.

The size of sink you select will depend on the counter space available. The standard kitchen sink measures 22 by 30 inches. It is very important that you know the size of the kitchen cabinet that your sink will go into.

How many bowls do you want? Depending on your needs, the sinks can come with one, two or 3 bowls.
