Are you remodeling your kitchen? The type of fixtures you set up will determine how easier your life gets when using the kitchen. Kitchen sinks are the most commonly used installations in the home which makes it almost impossible to carry out any kitchen activity without them. There are various types of kitchen sinks all designed to offer some kind of convenience. The kind you pick will depend on the level of convenience you are looking for. Here are the options you have:
The top mounted sinks
These kinds of sinks are the easiest to install and are most common. They are set up on regular counters made of boards and wood which are common in cost friendly remodels. They are also designed to allow more storage under them. This makes them an excellent choice for homes with small spaces.
Bottom mounted sinks
Bottom mounted sinks are the best looking of all the options. These are usually mounted from the bottom up and are easier to clean. These are splendid for solid counters such as concrete and marble. These may not allow for as much storage space under the sink but are a classic addition to the kitchen.
The single basin sink
The single basin sink is the most basic option and is common in bottom mounted sinks. It allows for the most regular of kitchen functions. It’ll not be the best choice if you are looking for a sink that will do more for you at the end of the day.
Double basin sinks
Double basin sinks allow you to do quite a number of activities on them at the same time. These can be fitted with separate or movable taps. They are the best when using the sink with someone else avoiding having to jostle over one basin. The two basins also make dishwashing more convenient allowing you to wash the dishes with soapy water in one basin and rinse in the other with clean water. They are also the best option if you plan to wash the utensils with a family member or when teaching children how to cook and wash utensils.
Triple basin sinks
These are for the home owner looking to go all out. They are not as common due to the fact that the double basin functions in more or less the same way. The triple sink allows the homeowner to wash utensils while using the middle section for disposal. They also need more space on the kitchen counter as compared to the rest of the options in the market.
There are bigger options in the market but only for commercial purposes. You can choose different kinds of sinks for different kitchen sinks if you have outdoor options. Your choice will be limited to your budget, space and function. The most convenient will make work easier as well as provide more working space for more than one user. It is wise to use a contractor when doing complicated installations of any kind and especially when installing undercounted sinks.
