Everyone should consider the following aspects when purchasing a kitchen sink:

Method 1: Width

The width of the sink is determined according to the width of the countertop of the cabinet. Generally, the width of the countertop is subtracted from 10-15 mm, which means that the width of the sink is generally 430-470 mm.

Method 2: Depth

Under normal circumstances, a washing basin with a larger cleaning volume is practical, and the depth is between 150-210 mm, generally 180 mm is better, which can effectively prevent water from splashing. At the same time, the depth is an important indicator reflecting the grade of the sink, and the white sink with a depth greater than 160 mm is a high-end product. In addition, the bottom of the basin must have a certain slope to facilitate drainage.

Method 3: Materials

The wash basin is best made of DDQ304 super stainless steel (steel 72%, nickel 10%, chromium 18%), and the material thickness should be moderate, preferably 0.7-0.9 mm thick. If it is too thin, it will affect the life and strength of the sink; if it is too thick, it will damage the utensils being washed.

Method 4: Surface

The surface of the sink is treated with matte finish to be the most beautiful and durable. Repeated abrasion of porcelain tableware can easily cause obvious scratches on the surface of the mirror treated sink. The welding of the sink must be carefully observed from the reverse side, and the welding seam must be flat and even without rust spots. Of course, the high-end sinks of brands such as "Crown" are formed in one piece (not spliced), and there is no such problem.

Method 5: Style

The shape of the sink should be beautiful, and the smooth and supple design is the most popular. Some sinks are designed with an attached drainage board. The pit pattern on the drain plate is very important. In addition to guiding the sewage and excess water to the drain, it can also prevent slippage and fix the position of food and utensils. In addition, there must be an overflow outlet, otherwise, it will become flooded accidentally.

Method 6: Design

The ideal sink has a sandwich or a soundproof film at the bottom of the basin for sound absorption and waterproofing. This not only makes the sound of falling water vigorous and melodious, but also prevents condensation on the back of the basin from damaging the interior of the cabinet.

Method 7: Accessories

When the sink is in use, the quality of the sink head and sink pipe fittings will directly affect the use effect. It is best to use stainless steel fittings for the sink. Choose PP or pvc pipe material for downspout. Any inferior accessories will cause flooding and affect the normal use and life of the cabinet.
