What To Pay Attention To When Buying A Kitchen Sink

1. Determine the style of the trough
Whether you choose a single tank or other tanks, you should first choose according to its function, preferences and daily life habits, in short, it can generally meet the functional requirements of the sink in daily life.
2. Determine the surface polishing method of the tank
Because the surface of the stainless steel sink is mainly treated in a variety of ways, it is also necessary to make a comparative choice when purchasing. The surface treatment types of sinks can be roughly divided into classic type and popular type. Among them, the popular category is mainly based on pearl silver surface and mercerized surface, and the classic category is mainly frosted and brushed and polished mirror. When purchasing, you can choose the type of sink with the same surface treatment as you like, based on the main specific characteristics of the type.
3. Determine the manufacturing process of stainless steel sink
There are two main manufacturing processes for stainless steel sinks, welding method and integrated molding method. The quality of the stainless steel sink made of integrated molding is generally better than that of the sink made of welding, and the overall appearance of the integrated molding is generous and beautiful, and the appearance of the welded sink will be relatively defective, but the price of the integrated sink is generally higher than that of the welded sink. Therefore, when purchasing, you can choose according to the characteristics of the two production processes and personal preferences.
4. Select stainless steel according to thickness, thinness, weight and depth
The thickness of the steel plate of the sink is best selected between 0.8 and 1.2mm, and within this thickness, 304# stainless steel is selected to make the sink tough, which can avoid damage caused by impact and other damage to all kinds of porcelain utensils to the greatest extent. You can press the surface of the sink a little harder, if you can press it, it means that the material is very thin. The lightweight, thin edges not only unify the maximum washing space and the smallest appearance of the sink, but also the water that splashes out of the sink can be easily wiped into the sink. Stainless steel is a ferroalloy, the specific gravity of steel is 7.87, and nickel and chromium heavy metals are added to it, and the specific gravity of these metals is greater than that of steel, so the weight is relatively heavy. Counterfeit inferior stainless steel, such as steel plate chrome plating has a lighter weight. The height of the sink suitable for domestic use is more than 180mm, and its advantages are large capacity and splash resistance.
5. Determine whether the sink is at a right angle or with a rounded corner
The sink has a right angle and a round corner, the rounded sink is now called the R-shaped sink, because it is easier to clean up, so it is recommended to choose the rounded sink when purchasing, the right-angle sink is more troublesome to clean, it is easier to "hide dirt and dirt", relatively speaking, the rounded sink has an advantage.
6. Select the sink according to the function of the water removal device
Generally, the sink on the market will be equipped with a corresponding drainage device, but the drainage device will also affect the overall use of the sink because of the quality of the function. It is also an important reference factor when choosing a sink. The drain pipe integrates the functions of drainage, odor prevention, and blockage prevention, so when purchasing, you can make more comparisons and choose a sink that is more practical and convenient for life.
7. Determine the sink configuration to meet the needs of daily life
When buying a sink, many merchants will generally be equipped with a lot of living devices in order to expand the sales progress, such as draining baskets, hand sanitizer boxes, small boxes for rags, knife holders, trash cans, etc. If you feel that the comprehensive cost performance is okay, it can also be used as a reference factor when choosing a sink.
8. Ensure after-sales service and reduce the inconvenience of use after purchase
Generally, many brand sinks on the market have good after-sales service, mainly in order to expand brand influence, enhance their market competitiveness, and at the same time add a guarantee to the quality of life of buyers. Especially when there are problems such as sink leakage and alternating hot water failure, it can effectively solve the problem for consumers. Fewer consumers have no idea where to start. Therefore, when purchasing a sink, it is also important to confirm the scope of after-sales service to ensure that your own interests are protected.
