Choosing the Right Sink for your Kitchen

The importance of choosing the right sink for your kitchen

We spend around 60% of our waking hours in the kitchen, on or near the sink. Thousands of times. Every day, for years. The placement and design of your kitchen sink is one the is one of the most important decisions you make when planning your new kitchen But many people, when redesigning their kitchen, fail to consider this. They design their kitchen without thinking about the sink and regret it for the rest of their lives. Here are some tips for choosing the right sink for your kitchen.

Design matters
But not too much. When choosing your sink, don’t go for exotic colors or the newest trend.
Choose something that is practical, since a sink is a work station, as well as an design piece. Obviously, you want something that looks good, but make sure that it doesn’t come at the cost of functionality.

Quality means no compromises

Your new sink has been installed. You run your hand over the drainer for the first time. How do the edges feel? How smoothly do your fingertips glide over the material? This is the moment when you put your sink's quality to the test for the first time. Remember, your kitchen sink is used multiple times a day. It is too important for it to be the component in your kitchen that you cut back on.

More details to think about

What size is your base cabinet? Inset sinks come in various sizes and the first thing you want to determine is if it will fit in the space designated for it.

Is the sink food-safe? Can you prepare food directly on the sink?
Many people want to have the option of resting food like vegetables or raw meat in the sink. Check with your provider that the material used is food-safe and not harmful to your health.

Are you left handed?
There are kitchen taps that come with levers on the left. This could be a game changer for you.

Will the color fade or the material get scratched?
Ask your provider what the durability is of your sink and how long the sink should stay in good condition

Will you be able to buy replacement parts for the sink if something breaks?
Changing just a faucet or a drain piece could save you from having to replace the entire sink down the line. Ask if parts are available for purchas separately.

Is it easy to clean? Will it stain?
Make sure you can use strong cleaning materials that allow you to properly clean it without breaking or damaging it . Ask about the likelihood of permanent stains on the material of the sink.
