Types of Kitchen Sinks

1. Types of Kitchen Sinks Kitchen sink is the vital part of kitchen work triangle. You often have to discuss with your interior designer about what kind of sink you are looking for and if you are unaware of the variety you can visit a store along with him to the store to have a look at the varieties of sinks. It all depends upon your needs and preferences. But, you need to find out what suits the best for you. Different kitchen sinks have different purposes; if you are a big family would a single bowl suffice or would a double bowl be suitable for rinsing and washing? We help you to run through different types of sinks and how useful they are? Types of kitchen sinks: SINGLE BOWL It will have just one basin and its generally compact. It can be fixed into any space, in the corner and is perfect for small homes. Single basin sinks are large enough to conveniently wash big vessels like the pot, cookers and trays. It is faster to clean these vessels because of reduced corners and edges. Single bowl sinks are comparatively cheaper than the 2 bowled variety. DOUBLE BOWL SINKS Indian kitchens generally have single bowl sinks. But now double bowls are slowly becoming popular due to the flexibility that they provide and are comparatively more convenient. In case you have a large family and you do a lot of cooking, you will need basins that are large enough to occupy all the used utensils and comfortable to wash. Struggling to keep the large cooker is one chore that you would avoid after a long day’s work. These double bowl sinks are available in a large variety and configurations. Two large bowls can be available with equal depth, two same size bowls with different depths, two different sized basins, etc. What would be your preference depends on what you do in your kitchen, how much you cook and the number of members in the family. You have to consider all these factors before choosing a double bowl sink. TOP MOUNT SINKS The most common sink in Indian kitchens is top mount sink and they are designed to be dropped into a pre-made hole in the countertop. Most builders provide this kind of arrangement making it mandatory to buy these sinks.

2. They are also called as ‘drop-in’ sinks, and are easier to install. These sinks are relatively inexpensive. The projecting lip of the basin doesn’t need an under -counter support system. So, it’s perfect for people who have a limited budget. They are easier to install and have an industrial look. So, they miss the sleekness and sophistication. It is time consuming to maintain this type of sink as it accumulates dirt and scum in the gap between the sink and countertop. Stainless steel sinks with a single basin attached with a draining board are yet another type of top mounts. UNDERMOUNT SINKS Mounted underneath the counter, the undermount sink don’t have lip or rim thus allowing the countertop edges to drop inside the basin giving a neat look. As there are no crevices or grooves, there is no accumulation of food particles. Cleaning the sink is much easier as dirt can be wiped from the sink. Since undermount sink has to be fixed to the underside of the counter, it requires more work thus its costly to install. Stainless sinks can be fixed with just glue, heavier cast iron and clay sinks have to be fixed with an additional internal support system. Undermount sinks have faucets and pipes that get hidden or fitted with lesser space around them. They need to be fixed with drilling holes into your countertop.
