Buying any product in the store, I want it to last for many years. Kitchen sinks are no exception. Their choice must be approached with all the responsibility, for which we carefully study the design features, appearance and manufacturing company.
When choosing a sink for the kitchen, you must first focus on its practicality and reliability, and also consider the following parameters:

Selection options
The main selection criteria for many customers are the type of washing, design features, ease of maintenance and use. It is necessary to get acquainted not only with the material of manufacture, but also with the design of the product.
Preparation method
The classic version of the production of stainless steel sink - stamping. The main advantage of this method is the availability of the finished product.Technology stamping has certain limitations in obtaining the depth of the bowl. Another disadvantage of this method is a 25% reduction in the thickness of the metal in the corners in comparison with the workpiece.
More durable are welded structures. During their production, each of the washing elements are manufactured separately, after which each of them is welded and the joints are cleaned.
This method allows you to get the product, the dimensions of which are virtually unlimited, and the depth of the bowl can reach 220 mm.
Surface options
Many opt for polished models that have a more attractive appearance. It must be remembered that even small scratches and drops of water are visible on the mirror surfaces, which requires more careful operation and careful maintenance. The matt version is less demanding and retains its original appearance for longer.
Type of construction
Stainless steel kitchen sinks are of two types, depending on the type of pedestals and installation options.
Overhead

Wide range of shapes and sizes
Manufacturers will be able to wash stainless steel of almost any shape and size, depending on the needs of the customer.
Stainless steel kitchen sinks have one drawback - considerable noise. When water enters, a significant sound effect is created, creating certain inconveniences. To eliminate this drawback, manufacturers use a thicker metal that can increase the cost of the finished product. As an alternative, in the more expensive models, a sound-proofing material is used that significantly reduces the noise level.
