How to choose a kitchen sink: shape and size

There is no universal kitchen sink, because all kitchens are of different sizes and layouts, and people have different habits and preferences. Let's figure out what shape sinks come in, how to choose the most suitable one in your case and not make a mistake with the sizes.

sink shape

Square. This form is convenient for placing the sink even in a small kitchen, if the countertop has standard dimensions. With sufficient depth, such a sink is quite roomy. Square sinks are often single, without additional functional elements.

Functional

Sectional sinks. These are multifunctional sinks that have more than one bowl. The most common are double or one and a half sinks. Double bowls have the same size, while one and a half bowls have a much smaller second. Sinks can contain more than three bowls, but in this case, you should take care of a special mixer: it is best suited with a retractable shower head. Even for double washing, it is better to choose a mixer that is durable so that it can withstand constant turns of the tap.

Sinks with a wing. The wing is a very practical element of the kitchen sink. It can be used not only for drying dishes, but also for placing hot pots and preparing vegetables. It is most convenient if the wing is located at a slight slope or has grooves, then the water will easily drain into the bowl.
