How to choose the best kitchen sink?
Before starting the process to buy your perfect sink, you should think about two things: tastes and needs. Think about it, how would you like it to be? How do you need it? What characteristics would it have? Now that you have thought about it, let’s start with the tips to choose from:
1. Check your kitchen spaces
This is the first step. What good would it do you to buy a large sink if you don’t have enough space? Analyze this, measure your spaces, and then take it into account when buying.
Also, think about where you will place it, ideally, it should be in a comfortable and accessible place for your kitchen moments.
For example, you can place it on your kitchen island, near your stove, etc.
2. The types of kitchen sink
That’s right, there are sinks: under counter and over the counter. I’ll explain. The under-the-top is integrated into the worktop. It has the advantage that they are easier to clean, dirt remains do not collect on the surface, and look more attractive.
The countertop is a sink that is placed on the part of the countertop. The disadvantages are that they need to be sealed with silicone, which gets dirty much easier and is more tedious to clean.
3. Choose the way you like best
We are used to the fact that when we think of a sink we visualize the typical rectangular shape. Let me tell you that this is not always the case. It also depends on the type of countertop you have, and the space and surface available. The location is also important. It is not the same as it is on the kitchen island as it is on the counter next to the wall.
To choose the type of shape, you must think and analyze if you want it:
- Rectangular.
- Circular.
- Square.
- Wide or narrow.
They can also be:
- Bucket and a half.
- A bucket
- Bucket and a half with drainer.
- Bucket without drainer.
- Two buckets.
- Two buckets with a drainer.
4. Think about the material for your kitchen sink
The material is important to determine many factors, such as care, resistance, and weight, among others.
The main materials you can find are:
- Stainless steel.
- Resin-based.
- quartz.
