When ordering a new kitchen, the hostess pays much attention to the choice of kitchen sink, which is made, most often from stainless steel, and fastened under the countertop. This method is the most successful, because everything that is poured or lies on a table like crumbs can be brushed into the sink with one hand.
Let's consider in detail advantages and disadvantages of such built-in washers from stainless steel, because purely external data rarely give a real idea of the essence of this kitchen assistant.
The material stainless steel is very durable and resistant to temperature differences and various chemicals. Because to serve such a product will be long. There are three options:
- Polished shiny surface, requires constant care to look neat, and least susceptible to scratches.
- The matte surface is good because it practically does not show traces of drops or fingers, but after a few years it loses its former appearance due to scuffs.
- The surface under the flax looks very attractive due to the smallest incisions that make scratches invisible, but it is cleaned worse than other species.
Dimensions of kitchen sinks from stainless steel
Lovers of large sinks such built-in models will probably not like it, because their width and length in general do not exceed 60x60 cm, as far as the cup itself, and the depth is almost the same for all - 18 cm. This can not be called a large sink, it is rather compact .
Such a sink in size loses ceramic or granite. But at a price it is two to three times cheaper.
Mortar (or table) kitchen sinks from stainless steel for all its positive qualities still have a disadvantage - some complexity of installation . In order to hide the gap between the edge of the countertop and directly wash it, use a sealant, which under the influence of moisture eventually breaks down and spoils the appearance of the sink. Because of such adaptations need regular care.
