Question 1

What size kitchen sink do I need?

Accepted Answer

Start from the base cabinet. Measure its inside width and subtract about 100mm; that is the largest sink that fits. A 600mm cabinet takes around a 500mm sink; a 900mm cabinet takes a large single or a double bowl.

Question 2

Single or double bowl kitchen sink?

Accepted Answer

Single if you cook with a wok and big pots, or if the cabinet is 800mm or narrower. Double if you wash and rinse in two stages and have the width for it. Many Malaysian homes end up with a big single in the wet kitchen and a small bowl in the dry kitchen.

Question 3

Top mount or undermount kitchen sink?

Accepted Answer

Top mount if the counter is laminate or if the sink may be replaced later. Undermount if the counter is quartz, granite or solid surface and you want a clean wipe from counter into bowl. Undermount needs the fabricator to cut and polish the opening.

Question 4

What is a handmade kitchen sink?

Accepted Answer

A sink folded and welded from sheet steel rather than pressed in a mould. It has tight corners, usually described as R10, a flat base, and thicker steel. It holds more for the same footprint and cleans more easily; it costs more than a pressed sink.

Question 5

Do black kitchen sinks scratch?

Accepted Answer

The coating is hard, but a scratch through a black coating shows silver, which a scratch on plain steel does not. A bottom grid and a soft sponge keep it looking new. If the sink will be used hard every day, plain stainless is the safer choice.

Question 6

Which stainless steel is best for a kitchen sink?

Accepted Answer

Grade 304, which holds up against the salt, vinegar and heat of daily cooking. Thickness matters as much as grade: a thicker bowl dents less and sounds less hollow under a running tap.
