A kitchen sink should be both elegant and functional, as it is a device that occupies a very important place in every kitchen. Regardless of whether it is a ceramic, steel, or enamel sink, it will always attract attention. Contemporary designers try to surprise with shape, colors, and accessories included with the sink, among them are dispensers, whose presence definitely makes work in the kitchen easier.
What we pay attention to when buying a sink
When choosing a new sink, we can decide on its color, shape, size, and the material from which it is made. Most often we have the following types to choose from:
granite sinks
steel sinks
stainless steel sinks
ceramic sinks
As for size and construction, you can buy a single-bowl sink, double-bowl sinks, or an intermediate solution, which is a one and a half bowl sink – ideal for a small kitchen or kitchenette.
Kitchen sinks also differ in the way they are mounted, with elegant undermount or countertop sinks being very popular. When looking for the perfect sink for your kitchen, you should consider the size of the room and your dishwashing habits. If you use a dishwasher daily, a double-bowl sink might be too large.
Kitchen sinks – accessories
The modern market for kitchen fittings and ceramics is so saturated with various sinks in dozens of shapes, colors, and sizes that it is really difficult for manufacturers to surprise customers. Therefore, to increase the attractiveness of the sinks they offer, various kitchen accessories are often added for free with a new sink. Therefore, when buying a granite sink or any other, you can get along with it:
a functional automatic plug
a tap adapted to the given model of sink
a siphon, along with the elements necessary for its installation
soap or dishwashing liquid dispensers
This way, you can buy a large sink and save not only money but also the time needed to select the necessary accessories for the sink.
Sink dispenser – an excellent solution
When preparing meals, hygiene is the most important, for this you need a kitchen sink with an appropriate tap. It will enable convenient washing of hands and products needed during cooking, and of course, it will allow washing dishes and pots after the meal. Therefore, there is a need for constant access to a tap with hot water, as well as soap and dishwashing liquid.
Often all kitchen detergents are placed on the edge of the countertop or drainer, they are within reach, but this is not a particularly convenient or aesthetic solution. On the contrary, colorful plastic bottles can introduce chaos into the kitchen, and during vigorous movements, you can accidentally knock the bottles onto the floor, not to mention the possibility of absent-mindedly placing them in a completely different place. To prevent such situations, it is easiest to buy a granite sink equipped with dispensers matched to it.
Functionality and convenience - built-in sink dispensers
If you are looking for modern solutions that will help maintain cleanliness in your kitchen, be sure to pay attention to plastic dispensers included with the sink. A small bottle with a pump spout is mounted on the edge of the sink, just before the drainer. This way, you get access to dishwashing liquid, which is always within reach.
Dispensers are resistant to high temperatures and moisture, and since they are installed under the sink, they are not exposed to mechanical damage. The appropriately designed mounting method allows you to fill the dispenser without the need to unscrew the bottle. It is enough to dismantle the upper part of the dispenser and pour inside the dishwashing liquid or soap and it is ready. This way, you gain a gadget that not only fulfils a practical role but also saves some space on the countertop.
