Kitchen sinks

The kitchen is at the heart of the house. We spend most of our time there, and arranging it according to your needs is important. It must comprise good quality elements to last well over time.

In recent years, the appearance of kitchen sinks has changed, but its characteristics remain the same. It must be functional, resistant and aesthetic. There are several shapes of sinks, styles, finishes and types of installation.

At Espace Plomberium, all your ideas take shape!

Sinks styles

One of the first things we should consider when purchasing our sink is the dimensions. Each collection offers options, sizes and configurations ranging from 1 to 3 tanks. The shape of the tank can be rectangular, square or round. The outlines can be curved or straight.

There are several types of installation for your kitchen sink. The countertop sink is held by its edges, which rest on the counter. The undermount sink, for its part, attaches under the counter. There are also sinks with aprons of the country house type.

Stainless steel sinks

Stainless steel is the most used material for sinks. It blends perfectly into any kitchen and withstands any temperature. It gives sinks high resistance to stains, rust and corrosion. Stainless steel is hygienic and easy to maintain, and the absence of pores makes it naturally antibacterial. In addition, stainless steel is durable and 100% recyclable.

THE CALIBER

The quality and resistance of a sink are reflected in its calibre. The gauge defines the thickness of the stainless steel sheet used to make it. Generally, the indicator of a sink is between 16 and 20. The lower the number, the thicker the metal sheet. The thicker it is, the less accessible it is to bend or cut it and the quieter the sink.

No matter what sink style you are looking for, it is essential to consider the location of the faucets. Most sinks are pre-drilled, meaning the holes are there ready to accommodate your faucets, but some allow you to choose the location of your faucet.
