Mount type

The standard way to mount the sink. Some models allow multiple ways to install, at the user’s choice. The specific options may be:

Mortise overhead. Models fitted in the slot of the worktop in such a way that the side of the sink is significantly above the surface of the worktop. The method of installation is quite simple, but the side raised above the table is in some cases inconvenient.

Mortise back to back. Models installed in the slot of the worktop so that the side of the sink is at the level of the worktop. Popular due to the ease of installation and convenience in cleaning: if necessary, water and other contaminants can be «driven» by a cloth from the table top directly to the sink. It is true that there is a small gap between the countertop and the sink where pollution can accumulate; but this disadvantage is compensated by the ease of installation.

Tabletop. Models fixed at the bottom of the countertop - so that the role of the sides actually play the edges of the hole cut under the sink. This method is convenient for maximum convenience in cleaning: from the kitchen table you can easily wipe into the sink spilled liquid or small debris like crumbs, while the contamination will not accumulate in the gap between the sink and the table top (As opposed to butt mounting, see corresponding paragraph. ). At the same time,...the installation of such shells by itself is quite difficult.

Tabletop module. Quite specific installation method: the sink is installed on the floor top, replacing the table top. For such an installation, it is necessary that the box accurately corresponds to the sink in size, so this option is quite rare.

Overflow

Overflow has the form of an opening located at the top of the bowl; this opening must be connected to the drain by a hose. Such a device avoids the transfusion of water over the edge of the sink: when the bowl overflows, water will flow into the sewer through the overflow and will not rise above the edges.

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).

Surface type

Type of washing surface made of stainless steel (cf. «Body material»).

Glossy. Brilliant, mirror surface, distinguished by attractive appearance. On the other hand, on such a surface quickly appear contamination and mechanical damage (traces from dried water, fingerprints, scratches, etc.), so to preserve the appearance it needs to be cleaned regularly, or even polished.

Matte. The matte surface does not look as bright as glossy - it is fainter, without pronounced reflections. On the other hand, such surfaces are less susceptible to contamination and damage: fingerprints, traces of dried water, scratches and scuffs on such surfaces are not as visible as on gloss.

Textured. Surface having a relief pattern with a depth of a fraction of a millimeter. This material is most convenient and practical from the point of view of maintenance, it perfectly masks contamination and is well resistant to scratches. The main drawback of textured surfaces is higher cost than matt and glossy. In addition, contamination and bacteria can accumulate in grooves, so clean such sinks should be with special care.
