The kitchen sink is a must for every family. It helps us wash dishes and chopsticks a lot. So how big is the kitchen sink ? What is the size of the kitchen sink ? This is all What we should know, let us take a look together.
Tips for selecting sinks:
1. Shape and size, in order to adapt to different kitchen sizes and cabinet designs, there are many styles of sinks, such as single-slot, double-slot, multi-slots, and single-slots with multiple shapes. The picture above shows the common ones. shape. Which one should be chosen by a specific family can be considered from two aspects, one is the daily use habits and the other is the area of the kitchen. The single tank is mainly due to the large tank body, which can prevent more washings, but the disadvantage is that various items may be placed in the same tank, and the placement of the washed items is not very convenient (so the single tank also produces a lot of Type, such as adding a drain area). The advantage of the double tank is that different food or tableware can be placed separately, and the functional partition is more reasonable. We suggest that if the cabinet can be placed in a double tank, it is better to choose a double tank, even if the single tank is best, there is a drain area.
In terms of specific size selection, you must first measure the width of the cabinet, and then subtract about 10 cm, which is the maximum width of the sink and a more suitable width. The depth should be as deep as possible, generally more than 18 cm, a lot of water stains in the sink that are too shallow will splash out.
2. Material and workmanship. At present, the sinks of major brands are made of stainless steel, especially 304 stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties. It is food-grade stainless steel and is currently the best for sinks. Material is a comparative choice in terms of cost and performance. In the treatment of the sink surface, it is commonly divided into frosted wire drawing, sandblasting (matte pearl silver surface), polished mirror surface, etc. The frosted wire drawing surface has a wire drawing effect, and the matte pearl silver surface is bright gray, similar to snowflakes. The effect of mirror is relatively rare.
In terms of workmanship, it is best to choose one-piece molding instead of welding molding. The advantage of one-piece molding is more robust and durable, completely preventing the disadvantages of welded joints that may be weak and easy to oxidize.
3. Accessories. The accessories of the sink include drain kit, soap dispenser, drain basket, etc., which are all included in the sink kit. In addition, you also need to purchase a separate hot and cold water triangle valve. The angle valve is a standard product, and it is not necessary to use the same sink brand. In the decoration process, you need to use the angle valve where hot and cold water is involved, so it can be purchased in a unified manner and economical Affordable. When choosing angle valves, we recommend buying large-brand copper products. Because the products are relatively simple, the price is not high even if the quality is better.
4. Other details, bottom coating: Put quick-frozen food into the sink or wet weather in spring and summer. Because the temperature of the sink is low, water vapor will condense on the bottom of the basin to form water droplets. Drops of water will cause the cabinet to get wet. Spraying a suitable coating on the bottom of the sink may reduce or even eliminate the temperature difference, destroy the formation of water droplets, and protect the cabinet from flooding.
