Why Choose a Quality Kitchen Sink?
The sink in the kitchen plays a key role, as without it the housewife will find it difficult to cope in everyday life, being an integral element of the kitchen space. It performs many functions, from washing food and dishes to waste disposal. It differs from a simple sink by additional equipment in the form of mixers and siphons.
The sink can have several bowls for different tasks, facilitating the culinary processes. The aesthetics of the sink is also important, as it affects the style of the kitchen. The right choice of sink improves functionality and adds convenience, helping to create a harmonious workspace.
Difficulties of installing a sink yourself
Replacing a kitchen sink yourself, watching instructions on YouTube or reading a description, is unlikely to work: there are too many nuances in this matter. If you make a mistake, you can ruin the countertop, pipes, or mixer. And you can also get problems if you still manage to install everything yourself, but with errors. Because of them, mold, leaks, sewer smell, swelling of furniture, stagnation of water in the sink can appear.
Why Choose a Quality Kitchen Sink
Installing a kitchen sink into a countertop may seem like a simple task, but it is a complex process with many nuances.

By installation method:
- Overhead. Gradually becoming a thing of the past. Structurally, this is an open cabinet with a sink bowl on top. The cabinet should be lined with furniture facades along the perimeter, and the sink should be installed next to the countertop. This is inexpensive, but inconvenient: you have to select a sink not to match the countertop, but vice versa.
- Cut-in. A hole is cut in the countertop to the size of the selected sink. The sink is installed in it, resting its edges on the countertop, and the gaps are filled with sealant. Installing a cut-in sink is the simplest, fastest and most inexpensive option.
- Integrated. The sink is flush with the countertop, without a side. This is convenient: scraps or crumbs from the table can be swept straight into the sink. This option is more expensive, looks more beautiful, and the sink bowl can be given a non-standard size or shape. But an integrated sink can only be made entirely with a countertop, and the countertop must be made of stone only.
Based on the material:
- Stainless steel. The most common option. The only downside is the noise from the water jet. But there are many advantages: they are inexpensive, stay in good condition for a long time, and are difficult to damage. Installing a stainless steel sink costs the least, and is the fastest and easiest.
- Acrylic. Smooth, durable and inexpensive, but they are afraid of heat, aggressive chemicals and cleaning with a metal sponge.
- Ceramic. They look beautiful and don’t make noise from the water jet. But ceramics can be damaged if you carelessly put a heavy frying pan in the sink or drop a fork.
- Stone. There are several types – from natural stone to composites. They are durable, easy to clean, and are not afraid of heat, cleaning agents, or abrasives. But they are more expensive and the most difficult to install.
By the presence and purpose of the wing.
A wing is an extension of the sink, usually located on the right or left. It can be an additional bowl (for example, for putting dirty dishes) or a work surface (for example, for defrosting meat). Sinks with a wing “eat up” more space on the countertop. But they can be used to organize the cooking area more conveniently.
