Main bowls
The number of main bowls provided in the product design.
The simplest variant of the design is
1 main bowl - a traditional, familiar to many variants of kitchen sinks. In addition, models are available with two main bowls - the same or almost the same size. This design provides additional features: for example, one bowl can be filled with soapy water and put dirty dishes there to «decompose» dried dirt, and in the second bowl - rinse dishes that have been in soap solution. On the other hand, it should be borne in mind that sinks on
2 bowls are more cumbersome and expensive than single bowls.
Separately, we note that there are sinks in which the main bowl is supplemented by an auxiliary capacity of much smaller sizes. Such a container is intended for defrosting (see below) and is not the main bowl, so such products in our catalog are one-cup.
Additional bowl
The presence of a separate
additional bowl.
Such a capacity has the form of a small additional bowl (approximately half the main). It can be useful not only for thawing, but also for other tasks - for example, washing fruit or washing pasta through a complete colander (see «Extra»). The convenience of this function is that when using the container - the main bowl remains free and can be used for other purposes: for example, nothing prevents washing the dishes in it.
Dish drying drain
Additional drain hole on the wing for drying the dishes (cf. relevant paragraph).
Drain on drying dishes increases the efficiency of removing moisture from the wing and reduces the likelihood that water will get outside the sink.
Tap hole
Availability of space in the sink for the installation of the mixer. This hole can be cut in advance or, if necessary, knocked out during installation (the corresponding place on the model already exists and is made of a softer material).
Minimum cabinet width (base)
The smallest width of the cabinet, pedestal or other base required for the installation of the sink. By width in this case means the distance between the side walls of the cabinet (base). If the width of the sink is too small, it will not get the necessary support, and its normal use will be impossible.
Main minimum dimensions:
>less than 45 cm, 45 cm, 50 cm, 60 cm, 80 cm,
more than 80 cm.
