How to Choose the Right Sink When You Are Remodeling Your Kitchen

Posted by studiolx on March 27th, 2015

Many American kitchens nowadays are already used for activities other than cooking. This means that the kitchen sink is not merely a fixture for washing produce and dishes—it should also look good enough to guests who might wander into the kitchen. Luckily, the best kitchen sink manufacturers have improved their designs and expanded their options when it comes to materials. Here are some tips that can help you choose the right sink when remodeling your kitchen:

1. Understand your preferences and needs.

Are you remodeling the kitchen completely or do you simply want to replace your existing sink? Replacing an existing sink can provide your kitchen with a quick makeover, as long as you ensure that the new sink matches your existing kitchen interiors. If you are completely remodeling your kitchen, think about the new design and choose a kitchen sink that goes well with it.

1. Find out the options and choices that are available online.

Look for an importer and retailer of high-quality home and kitchen fixtures. A leading company provides a wide selection of double bowl, triple bowl, and single bowl sinks, with free shipping as a bonus.

1. Check out the brand.

Some brands become popular for good reason—because they produce high-quality products. Ruvati offers some of the most stylish and functional kitchen sinks that can go well with your remodeled kitchen design.

1. Know the type of installation that is required.

You can install kitchen sinks in three ways—flush mounted Undermount, and drop-in or self-rimming. Drop-in installations are the easiest because they can easily be placed into the countertop cutout or above the base cabinet, and they can be supported by the sink flanges. Undermount sinks are convenient if you like to brush items aside from the countertop directly into the sink. Flush mount sinks are best with tiled countertops.

1. Configuration
   
   The number of bowls and faucet holes, the dimensions, the shape of the corners, and other aspects of the design is some of the factors that affect the configuration of the sink. Single-bowl and small sinks may be better for small galley kitchens while large double or triple bowl sinks might be more suited for larger kitchens and wider countertops. Choose the right configuration and size that is best for your lifestyle and kitchen space.
2. Go for stainless steel.
3. Stainless steel is durable, and it provides a clean and neutral look. Stainless steel sinks are available with a polished or brushed finish. The gauge thickness determines the thickness of the steel, while the high gauge steel is thinner.
