MARICH INC
The sink is one of the essential parts of the kitchen because it makes the kitchen functional for daily use. However, replacing or installing the kitchen might look like a difficult task, but it is all simple once you choose the right sink for your kitchen based on the theme and requirements.
Materials
Kitchen sinks are available in different materials in the market, but some of the most common and durable materials include stainless steel, enameled cast iron, fireclay, copper, enameled steel, solid surface, and others.
Types of Sinks
There are several types of sinks, and you can choose them based on quality, style, and budget. Some of the most trendy sink types include
Undermount Sink
This type of sink is attached to the bottom of the counter with clips. It provides a smoother look that looks attractive with the kitchen’s theme. Undermount sinks are slightly expensive but easy to maintain and clean. These sinks are usually installed with special mounting clips that attach the sink to the underside of the countertop, and then it is sealed with silicone caulk to create a water-tight seal for safety and prolonged maintenance. These sinks have a sleek and precise look, and you can make a good impression by installing these sinks in your kitchen
Drainboard Sink
Drainboard sinks feature a small basin along with a counter-level drainboard. This sink works well for small spaces and kitchens, and you can also use the drainboard efficiently. The Drainboard sink frees up the side of the twin basin sinks, and you can also locate the dryer on the top of the drainboard. Drainboard sinks keep your countertop clean and dry because they contain the water and sent it right to the drain. It is one of the efficient options for the kitchen as you can’t use the dishwasher every time. However, these sinks can be a little expensive and difficult to find.
Top Mount Sink
This type of sink is the most common and used widely. The top mount sink is installed by creating a hole in the countertop to fix it there. This sink weight is carried by the rim, and it is affordable to purchase. These sinks are easier to maintain and clean, and you can save extra countertop space as compared to under-mount sinks. Top mount sinks are also called drop-in sinks because they drop into the countertop, leaving the lip at the top. This sink doesn’t require additional planning or hazards to get installed, and you can make it a part of your kitchen. These sinks are also more affordable compared to other type of sinks and having no hidden areas to build up dirt, they are better to keep clean.
Farmhouse Sink
The farmhouse sink is popular, and it is usually known for its large basin. The extra space makes washing large utensils or baking pans easier. You can also soak your cookware in the farmhouse kitchen, so this is one of the great options to increase the functionality. These sinks are also famous for their aesthetic and unique style, with a large sink and smooth fronts that will go with any interior and theme of the kitchen. You can also find different materials, styles, and colors in these sinks. However, farmhouse sinks can be a little expensive compared to other sinks.
Installation Considerations
There are a few things you must consider before installing the sink, which include measuring if your new sink is the same in size as your previous sink, the material of the new sink, the quality of the sink if it’s durable for long term use and rechecking the if there were any plumbing issues with the previous sink so you can also get them fixed. Lastly, choosing the right and professional services to install the sink is important because it involves taking care of the countertop, plumbing, and many other things, so if you do it slightly wrong, it can cause additional issues for you.
