When you are designing your new house or in the midst of your kitchen renovation, kitchen sink is an important part because it is the most practical item in the kitchen. Before you make the decision, you have to research all your options and narrow down the selection. In this article, we will help you to take some pressure off and guide you how to choose a suitable kitchen sink.
 

1. Installation


Regarding the installation method about the kitchen sink, we can divide the sinks into three types:undermount, integrated and Top-mount. The difference between the two sinks is where they are installed.

Overview

Undermount Top Mount

+It’s easier to swipe residues down from the counter into the sink

-Residues would get caught at the edges
+Appears better aesthetically (shows off the counter with a seamless look) -Looks bulgy
-Counter edges are exposed +Protects the edges of the counter from chipping (especially marble)
-Less available for modifications +Easy to replace if there’s the need
-Costs more +Costs less
 

● Undermount Sink


You can get a streamlined look if you choose single undermount kitchen sink, because it is installed under the counter , which hides its rim. What's more, undermounted sink is easy to clean because it doesn't take up space of the countertop and you can sweep the crumb into the sink directly.  

What you should notice is that your kitchen need to be equipped with a tough countertop, because the sink hangs below the countertop and the countertop need to support the weight of the sink.
 

● Top mount sink for kitchen


Small top mount sink is a popular choice and it costs less than other models. The basin is inserted into a precut hole in the countertop, with the edges showing above the surface.

It can be installed on any countertop and the installation is easy, but the food and debris may get trapped because of the exposed edge. It would be great is you seal the edge and make sure they are watertight.

● Integrated Sink


Integrated sink features the seamless design and streamlined aesthetic.  However, this kind of sink is little bit expensive than other models, and you have to replace the whole countertop with any damage to the sink.

 

2. Single Bowl and Double Bowls Sink


Normally, the sink is made of stainless steel.Regarding the bowls, the most common type is single bowl and double bowl. Besides, you can also choose triple bowl sink, and with the number of faucet mount holes your setup requires.
