The sink, which seems to occupy only an insignificant square meter of space in the kitchen, is actually the key to the high frequency of use in the kitchen. Choosing the right sink often determines the overall experience of using the kitchen.
When buying a sink, it is recommended that you keep in mind the principle of "six out of six". This is not just empty talk, but is based on the practical experience of people who have come before.
Whether you choose a single sink or a double sink, large size is key. A small sink can be overwhelming in the face of a mountain of dishes and chopsticks. Larger sinks, with a length of at least 55 cm and a depth of more than 20 cm, can not only accommodate pots and pans, but also avoid splashing water during cleaning, making cleaning more handy.
In terms of installation method, although the countertop basin is easy to install and has strong bearing capacity, the glass glue is easy to get wet and blackened; The basin is beautiful and practical, but it is difficult to install and costly; Undercounter basins are not only aesthetically pleasing, they are also easy to clean, and with reinforcement or the choice of a lightweight sink, the load-bearing problem can be solved. Therefore, undercounter basins are undoubtedly the first choice, followed by countertop basins, and countertop basins are relatively weak.

As for the drain, the square design is easy to leave a hygienic dead space, while the round drain is smoother and is recommended to be installed near the faucet for easy operation.
In terms of material, although the stone sink has high hardness and outstanding appearance, it is expensive, has average anti-penetration ability, and is easy to form sanitary dead ends. In contrast, although the stainless steel sink is slightly inferior in appearance, it is affordable, antibacterial and anti-corrosion, easy to clean, and more cost-effective and practical. Of course, when choosing, be sure to look for SUS304 stainless steel.
Handmade sinks are favored for their large thickness and lack of leakage; The integrated stretch sink is easy to perforate and leak due to the thin bottom of the basin after a long time. As a result, handmade sinks are superior in terms of durability.
Finally, regarding the R angle of the sink, although the large R angle is easier to clean, it wastes space. It is recommended to choose a small R angle of 10~15°, which is not only convenient for cleaning but also saves space.
To sum up, when choosing a sink, you need to consider factors such as size, installation method, drain, material, production process and R angle to ensure the comfort and convenience of kitchen use.
