Abstract of Kitchen Sink Selection
The kitchen is the core scene of family life, and the reasonable configuration of the sink directly determines the cooking efficiency and space experience. However, faced with the numerous materials, processes and functional designs on the market, consumers often fall into “parameter confusion”. This article focuses on the five dimensions of material performance, structural design, process technology, accessory system, and space adaptation, and deeply analyzes the scientific selection logic of zlewozmywaki kuchenne. At the same time, it incorporates the key points of kitchen line planning, installation details and other decoration avoidance points to help you create an ideal kitchen with high appearance, strong functions and long life.
1. Material and thickness: the “golden balance rule” of 304 stainless steel
The thickness of 304 stainless steel needs to be between 0.8-1.0mm, taking into account toughness, load-bearing and corrosion resistance.
Material comparison:
- 304 stainless steel: nickel content ≥8%, chromium content ≥18%, rust resistance far exceeds 201/202 stainless steel (nickel ≤4%).
- Inferior substitutes: Some merchants use false labels such as “DUS304” and “SUS202” to confuse people, and the actual corrosion resistance is reduced by more than 60%. Thickness test:
- Pressing method: Press the bottom of the sink with your fingers, high-quality products have no dents (thickness ≥0.8mm), and inferior products are easy to deform (thickness ≤0.5mm).
- Weight reference: The weight of a standard single sink (600mm×450mm) should be ≥10kg. If it is too light, it may be a coated steel plate.
2. Structural design: triple optimization of depth, frame and ergonomics
200mm depth + ultra-thin frame design can improve operating efficiency by 23%.
Depth value:
- Splashproof: Sinks with a depth of ≥180mm can reduce water splashes by 70%.
- Large capacity: 200mm deep double tank can accommodate a 32cm diameter wok, and the cleaning efficiency is improved by 40%. Frame innovation:
- Narrow edge design: frame width ≤3mm (such as the Silgranit series of Platinum Langgao), which frees up 15% more countertop space than the traditional 10mm frame.
- R corner treatment: inner angle ≤15° arc to avoid dirt accumulation.
III. Core technology: “technical moat” of integrated molding and surface treatment
Laser seamless welding + wire drawing process can extend the life of the sink by 3-5 times.
Molding technology:
- Integrated stamping: The whole steel plate is formed by a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, without the risk of weld leakage.
- Manual welding: High-end customized sinks use argon arc welding, and the weld strength reaches more than 90% of the parent material (Franka process standard). Surface treatment:
- Wire drawing process: The scratch resistance level reaches 4H (Mohs hardness), which is better than the 2H of sandblasting process.
- Nano coating: such as Blanco SuperClean coating, the oil adhesion rate is reduced by 80%.
4. Accessory system: the “invisible battlefield” of sewer pipe and silencer design
High-quality accessories can reduce 90% of blockage and noise problems.
Sewer system:
- Material standard: UPVC pipes are resistant to 120℃, PP pipes are resistant to 90℃, which is better than ABS plastic (only 70℃).
- Anti-odor design: S-bend water trap + silicone sealing ring (such as Oulin OL-WS862), which is 5 times more effective than the direct-discharge type. Silencing technology:
- Three-layer structure: bottom silencer pad (EPDM rubber) + sound-absorbing cotton (density ≥30kg/m³) + anti-condensation coating, noise ≤45 decibels.
5. Space adaptation: scientific logic of single/double trough selection and dynamic line planning
Single trough + drain basket is preferred for small kitchens, and sub-trough is recommended for large kitchens.
Small apartment solution:
- Single sink advantage: A single sink with a length of ≥600mm can accommodate a wok, and with a pull-out faucet, it can save 50% of the operating time.
- Function extension: Add a telescopic drain rack (such as the Moen FlexSpace system) to temporarily expand the operating surface by 20%. Large kitchen configuration:
- Mother-child sink design: The main sink (≥400mm) is used to wash dishes, and the secondary sink (≥300mm) is used to handle food ingredients, which is more hygienic to separate raw and cooked food.
- Countertop drainage: Such as the Kohler Sensate system, you can switch the drainage mode with a button to avoid dirty hands.
Key points of kitchen decoration linkage: 3 details that are easily overlooked
- Countertop opening accuracy: The edge of the sink cutout needs to be polished and smooth, with an error of ≤0.5mm to prevent stress cracking.
- Faucet adaptation height: The pull-out faucet is recommended to be installed 250-300mm from the countertop. If it is too low, it is easy to splash water, and if it is too high, the impact of the water flow will be attenuated.
- Under-counter basin installation: metal clips + mildew-proof silicone dual fixation is required, which extends the life of pure glue bonding by 5 years.
Podsumowanie
Scientific selection of kitchen sinks should follow the principle of “material first, design-oriented, and process-oriented”:
- Look for SUS304 steel stamp, and lock the thickness to 0.8-1.0mm;
- 200mm depth + narrow frame is the golden combination of efficiency;
- One-piece molding + triple silencer is the quality watershed;
- UPVC downpipe + pull-out faucet significantly improves the experience;
- Select single/double sink according to space, and use drainage accessories to expand functions.
