The location of the corner sink in the kitchen assumes that the mixer is in the depths, it is most convenient to use such a model that cuts directly into the countertop itself, and not on the wall.

Many manufacturers offer various accessories as optional accessories. The stainless steel corner design can be equipped with a mesh basket for washing vegetables and fruits, as well as a stand for dishes that match the shape of the sink. This turns the steel product into a multi-purpose workplace, frees up the space around and facilitates the process of cooking.

Stainless steel corner sinks for the method of placement can be of several types:

• Overhead constructions. They are superimposed on top of the side walls of the cabinet with sides on top instead of table top. When choosing this option, carefully measure out all sizes - the sink should match the size of the kitchen cabinet exactly in size. The treatment of seams and seams should be especially thorough.

Here, too, it is very important to observe all the parameters and measure the dimensions to the millimeter. To install such a sink, the master usually makes a cardboard template or draws the outline of the sink directly on the countertop and cuts a hole in it.After installation, the product is fastened with fasteners, silicone or sealant.

Some models of under-table products have a lower drawer. The advantages of this design include its tightness: water splashes are not poured between the corners of the sink. However, it is quite difficult to mount a sub-table sink.

In form, all criminal car washes also have several forms:

1. With rounded shapes - shaped like a circle or ellipse. Many housewives prefer the round shape of a corner bowl with a large diameter, claiming that it is the most convenient for a large number of dishes.
2. With angles: rectangular, square, trapezoid. Sinks of this shape are most often made overhead and mortise.
3. Combined sinks with 2 bowls. They can be of different sizes and even different shapes: for example, a large round bowl for dishes and a small square for washing fruit or glass objects.

The number of bowls in one sink can be from one to several pieces. The most practical is considered a double wash. In many models, there is an additional stand (wing) for folding clean dishes. This option can be found in many manufacturers, including the production of Russia.

When choosing a corner option, you need to take into account several factors:

Major manufacturers complement their products with various convenient accessories. It can be all kinds of cutting boards for products, metal mesh baskets for fruits, detergent holders, etc.

Stainless steel sinks vary in manufacturing method. Welded products have a higher cost and produce less noise from water, and in modern models, the seams are very carefully polished, making them almost invisible. High-quality corner sink-stainless steel should have one or two wings to use the space next to it for third-party needs. The one-piece wash is made by stamping from steel sheet. They are more noisy than welded, and do not differ excessive depth.

To the stainless steel sink does not lose its attractive appearance, it is necessary to avoid using when cleaning abrasives, acid-containing tools and metal brushes.
