|Modular sink- where suits best?
For many years, ceramic sinks haven't gone out of fashion. What is more, their popularity is constantly growing. They are available in various shapes, matching large and small kitchens. Everyone will find here something for themselves! The two-bowl models will please the enthusiasts of cooking, and the one-bowl ones will appeal to the owners of a dishwasher. Among them, there are modular sinks which will definitely attract our attention. These are lay-on sinks whose front part is slightly extending beyond the outline of a cabinet. Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? And it looks like that too!
Fashionable ceramic sinks
Sinks with a visible front could be initially found only in arrangements in Provencal and farmhouse style. Traditionally combined with a two-knob tap and white furniture give a natural and cosy effect. However, they are so attractive and practical that over time they have begun to penetrate into other styles and today they are also installed in modern kitchens. How did this happen? All because of their glossy, white surface which looks great in minimalist interiors. In combination with smooth fronts and marble countertops, it looks exceptionally elegant. It also gives the impression of order and space in the kitchen. Here is one rule: a good product fits everything! There are plenty of possibilities, and the final choice depends on the designer's idea. And since we already know that the ceramic sink will always look great, let's take a look at its functionality.
Advantages of a ceramic sink
The advantage of ceramic sinks is certainly the ease of usage and care. The good news is that its smooth surface is easy to clean with the use of the same cleaning products as in the case of a bathroom washbasin. Ceramic material also does not absorb odours or stains, which is particularly important in the kitchen. And in the case of a kitchen sink with a visible front- the exposed part is certainly more resistant to dirt than the front of the furniture.
Ceramic is also a good solution for people who care about the environment. A good example is Sabor sink by Deante, which is made of 100% natural materials. A fired in high temperature and glazed sink is very durable: resistant to impact, high temperature, and thermal shock, that is a rapid change of temperature. It is also important that its surface does not discolour and will remain snow-white after years of use. This is especially important because we arrange a kitchen for at least a few or even a dozen years.
What should be considered when buying a sink?
If the purchase decision has already been made, let's think about the model that will be the best. The basic issue is to determine the size of the sink. One bowl is enough for us if we have a dishwasher or we don’t cook too often. During everyday preparation of more demanding dishes, we will certainly appreciate the convenience of a sink with a large drainer or a two-bowl sink. The width of the cabinet, where the sink will be installed, is also very important. For example, the one-bowl Sabor sink from Deante has been designed for a cabinet with a width of 60 cm. Depending on the place of embedding - closer or farther from the wall - we can regulate how big the part of the bowl front that will extend beyond the outline of cabinets will be. To avoid surprises, it is a good idea to accurately measure the cabinet in which it will be installed.
It is also very important to make the best use of the place intended for the installation of a sink. Especially in small kitchens where every centimetre counts. We always need to pay attention to the internal dimensions of the sink. A large and deep bowl will allow you to insert a tall pot, or even to clean a baking tray taken out of the oven. Thanks to this, we will facilitate everyday cooking as well as many other small activities that together determine whether our kitchen is comfortable and enjoyable.
It is worth remembering that a well-chosen sink will be a decoration of our kitchen for many years. Betting on durable and timeless ceramics will certainly make us satisfied, and our kitchen will be beautiful and practical regardless of whether we arrange it in a rural or minimalist style. Good design is universal!
