How to choose the sink?

As for the problem of vegetable pots, from the summary of most customers I contacted, 80% people don't pay attention to the choice of vegetable pots.

The focus of general concern is the "countertop" and "style" of the kitchen. And the choice of sink is often ignored. Only when it is really used, will you regret not choosing the sink correctly.

The function of the kitchen is washing, cutting and frying, and the dish basin occupies one of them, so it should attract everyone's attention.

How to choose a vegetable basin? I think the choice of "vegetable basin" should be comprehensively considered from five aspects: its form, installation method, material, color and accessories, so as to choose a suitable vegetable basin. The following is a brief explanation.

The choice of "form" of vegetable basin is "various", so we should choose the most suitable vegetable basin according to many factors in the family, such as "the number of family members" and "the frequency of kitchen use". The following is a brief introduction to several forms of vegetable pots.

(1) Single Slot Form

Single-trough vegetable basin is divided into large single trough and small single trough. Unless the cooking is not frequent or the kitchen space is very small, it is not recommended to choose a small single basin, and try to choose a large single basin, because in normal cooking, we have to brush the pot every time, but the small single basin can't put down our wok, which is very inconvenient to brush, and the large basin can be used as a double basin, so it is recommended to choose a large single basin.

▲ If there are no special requirements, the large single basin is suitable for 99% of the owners.

② Double-groove form

The double basin sink in the kitchen is separated by a large single basin in the middle, which is divided into two equal basins on the left and right, and two basins on the left and right. The advantage of two pots is that one side can put used dirty bowls and the other side can also wash clean vegetables; However, at present, the design of many accessories is very reasonable, and the large single basin can be used as a double basin at the same time, which is very convenient, so the double basin is not widely used in decorating the kitchen at present.

▲COCO thinks that double slots are not practical.

③ Special-shaped groove form

Special-shaped pots are generally used in specific places or for effect, and they basically do not appear in our household clothes.

According to the installation mode, the vegetable basin (1) is installed under the stage.

According to the size and shape of the basin, make corresponding shapes along the water retaining edge. The sink is installed under the countertop, which makes the countertop have more space to use. It is very convenient to clean up the water stains and foreign bodies on the countertop, but the basin under the countertop has the risk of falling off, but the probability is very small.

② Mosaic installation

The L-shaped hole is made in strict accordance with the shape of the sink, and the installation mode of flat basin is adopted to realize the seamless installation effect between the countertop and the sink, so that water drops and stains can be easily wiped into the sink. Compared with the basin under the desk, it is safer and more sanitary. Suggestions.

③ Installation on the stage.

There is no strict requirement for opening holes in the table, and the range is almost the same. Button up and coat it with glass glue. The basin on the table is firm and easy to install, but the glue at the joint of the table is easy to turn yellow after a long time, and the water stains on the table are not easy to wipe. This is not recommended.

COCO recommendation: mosaic installation

Selection of "material" of vegetable basin (1) "stainless steel" vegetable basin

At present, stainless steel is the most commonly used material, but there are more than 100 different types of stainless steel, and 304 stainless steel is commonly used in our kitchen, which is called "food-grade container".

The comprehensive properties (corrosion resistance and formability) of 20 1, 202 and 30 1 are not as good as 304, so we must choose 304 stainless steel when choosing stainless steel sink.

According to the national food container standard, if the manganese content is less than or equal to 2%, 300 series stainless steel can be used as raw material, while the common 304 stainless steel in the market is SUS304 (Japanese stainless steel material standard), which is generally divided into brushed stainless steel and frosted stainless steel.

(2) "Quartz Stone" Vegetable Pot

Quartz stone water tank is composed of quartz stone basic layer and timely crystal intermediate layer with high temperature oil removal and anti-corrosion layer. This is a new material in the market and is very popular with the public. It occupies more and more major markets in Europe and America. Compared with stainless steel water tanks, quartz water tanks are rich in colors (mostly white and black). Because of their high hardness, it is said that they are second only to diamonds, so their scratch resistance is stronger than stainless steel, but the price of quartz stone is higher than stainless steel.

Dishwashers made of other materials

In addition to the above two commonly used material sinks, there are also ceramic sinks and artificial stone sinks, which have been gradually eliminated or not recognized by the public.

COCO recommendation: stainless steel sink

The choice of "color" of vegetable basin is very small, generally only the silver and black matte of stainless steel itself and the white of ceramic basin. COCO thinks black matte is more sensual.

▲ Does the black one look quite emotional?

The "accessories" of the vegetable basin (1) are made of pure stainless steel drainers.

The sewer pipe is divided into semi-rigid sewer pipe and all stainless steel products. Semi-rigid sewer is a part of stainless steel, and the lower part is made of plastic products. Compared with the fully rigid sewer, plastic is easy to accumulate stolen goods, which makes the sewer not smooth, and its durability and sealing are not as good as that of the fully rigid sewer.

(2) Anti-odor and anti-overflow underwater pipeline

In terms of underwater pipelines, we should choose odor-proof and overflow-proof underwater pipelines, V-shaped odor-proof and bacteria-proof and high-radian sewer pipelines to prevent backflow.

(3)365 rotating faucet

As for the faucet, choose a faucet that can rotate 365 degrees, which is particularly convenient when cleaning the sink.

Cocoa's suggestion on the selection of vegetable basin (1): Choose integrated sink.

(1) When choosing a stainless steel sink, you must choose an integrated sink, which is formed by rejecting welding technology. Welding water tank is easy to fall off and leak in daily use.

② SUS304 stainless steel must be selected, because the manganese content of 304 stainless steel is less than or equal to 2%, so it can be identified by special medicine. 304 stainless steel is light blue and 20 1 stainless steel is deep red.

(2) Select a water tank with condensate layer treatment.

It is not suitable for condensation and water layer treatment. If left untreated, it will cause condensation and drip into the cabinet when it is cooled in winter, thus damaging the cabinet and making it wet.

(3) The water tank is silenced.

Quiet and noise reduction of sink with thick noise reduction pad.

(4) Deep water tank

The sink with insufficient depth is easy to splash outside when washing.

(5) Fine polishing water tank with small R angle

Small R angle is easier to clean, so it won't leave a dead angle that can't be cleaned. Choosing a vertical angle of 90 will make the space utilization higher.

COCO's recommendation: (1) You can choose high and low tables and multifunctional single sinks.

Large single-slot space with a small low table, which is convenient for cleaning things, saving water resources when storing water, and convenient for double-layer drainage. The multifunctional sink can store many things used in the kitchen, such as chopping boards, knives, rags, sponges and other kitchen supplies.

(2) water tank with side outlet mode

In many units, the kitchen sink is located at the window, and the faucet will get in the way when the window is opened. At this time, the design of the side outlet is very practical, which not only has a beautiful personality, but also has a larger countertop space.

▲ The side is rare. For some units, it is very practical and looks a bit personal.

Small expansion of sink maintenance knowledge;

After the renovation, the kitchen should be ventilated to prevent the corrosive gas of decoration materials from oxidizing the surface of the sink. Try to dry the sink after each use, because the water pipes in the new home are all new, with high iron content, and it is easy to leave yellow water stains. Don't wipe the sink with steel balls and brushes, which will cause scratches and affect the appearance. Choose to use sponge or rag and neutral detergent for deep cleaning. Try to avoid long-term contact with bleaching powder, soap and household chemicals in the sink, and clean them in time if necessary. If there is water, brush with detergent. The newly purchased sink can be coated with a layer of animal and vegetable oil (edible oil) to avoid contact with corrosive substances as much as possible. The above is my suggestion and summary on how to choose a vegetable basin. I think five aspects should be considered when choosing a vegetable basin: form, installation method, material, color and accessories.

Then I recommend high and low tables and multifunctional large single sinks. After choosing a good style, we should also pay attention to its quality, such as whether it is integrally formed, whether there is a condensation layer, whether there is noise reduction treatment, etc. I hope my answer can help you, thank you.
