Different Types of Kitchen Sinks and Their Benefits
Innovations have led to alleviating the workload of many in the kitchen, with coal cooking making way for electric and gas cookers. This included kitchen sinks, once referred to as “dry sinks”, as they were placed on a cabinet or window sill before indoor plumbing found its way into kitchens. Stone, ceramic, and wooden kitchen sinks were soon replaced with more versatile and durable materials, such as steel and enamel, integrating seamlessly with countertops.
With innovative and space-saving design at the forefront of the GEZA brand, our kitchen sink units have been combined with cupboards, stove plates, and more to provide ample functionality in any small area without taking up too much floor space.
Which Types of Kitchen Sinks are Best?
Different types of kitchen sinks are mainly defined not by their aesthetics but by the installation technique and can vary from drop-in sinks, integrated sinks, under-mount sinks, and top-mounted sinks, to name a few. Before selecting a kitchen sink for its visual appeal, it is important to consider what it needs to be used for. Bowl-shaped in design, kitchen sinks are not only installed for washing dishes, but they are also a useful tool in food preparation. At GEZA, we would also urge you to consider the material used for the sink as it is a frequently used amenity, so it should be sturdy and easy to clean.
- Single-Bowl Kitchen Sinks
Small in size and compact by design, single-bowl kitchen sinks are simplistic to install. When doing kitchen renovations, the floor as well as the surface area need to be considered. Single kitchen sinks are the best option, taking up little space and less effort for cleaning.
- Double-Bowl Kitchen Sinks
These sinks are preferred amongst those that multi-task in the kitchen, providing ample washing-up and food-preparation space. Taking up slightly more space than a single-bowl unit, space needs to be considered before installation. At GEZA, our single- and double-sink units have been uniquely designed to fit into any kitchen space, making it possible to give you the sink and cupboard facilities to complement any kitchen.
- Top-Mounted or Drop-In Kitchen Sinks
Taking the hassle out of installations is our drop-in sink design. Our prefabricated countertops have been specifically cut so that the sink units can be effortlessly top mounted, plumbing can be attached, and the units can be used almost immediately.
- Kitchen Sinks with Draining Boards
Having a single- or double-bowl sink affords you the functionality that you require. However, without a draining board, the uses are limited. Rinsed produce can be placed on the draining board, allowing the excess water to run off into the sink. It can also be used to place a draining rack where washed dishes can be placed. Our draining boards are uniquely designed with channels that filter water into the sink. Having a countertop including a single or double sink doesn’t take away from the size of the sink bowl. It just provides more working surface space.
Careful thought has gone into each of our kitchen sink units, taking ease of use, practicality, and materials into consideration and giving you a product that will last. At GEZA, our kitchen units are ideal for new builds and renovations where space needs to be considered.
Elegant, Practical, and Relatively Maintenance Free
As previously mentioned, selecting the right type of material for kitchen sinks is just as crucial as the function of the sinks themselves. Selecting stainless steel over other materials for our drop-in, single- and double-bowl units has distinct advantages:
- Improved technology has led to continuous improvements in the quality and strength of the steel used.
- As stainless steel is lighter, sink bowls have a bigger capacity, unlike other materials that tend to take up space.
- The durability and ease of care means that your sink will retain its lustre for years to come, no matter what chemicals are used on it when cleaning.
- The timeless look of stainless steel will not detract from any existing or new kitchen design. If anything, it will add to your kitchen’s aesthetics.
- Stainless steel boasts natural anti-corrosive properties, giving you single or double kitchen sinks that will last for years.
