If you are one of those people who like to wash their dishes with a dishwasher, the height and dimensions of the sink will not be of great importance. However, if you are not a fan of washing dishes with a machine, then the following lines are just for you.     It is not difficult to wash several dishes with your hands. Sometimes, however, this can be really difficult and extremely harmful to health if you do not match the dimensions of the sink to the dimensions of your body. What am I talking about? You will understand...
    The principle here is the following: The more often you bend, the more damage you do to your spine. The height of the sink and the cabinets, in general, should correspond to your height. The depth of the sink is also important. Choose a shallower sink to save yourself from unhealthy bending. The faucet also matters. Choose one with a long spout so you don't have to stretch. If you do choose a kitchen sink that fits you perfectly and is comfortable, we need to take care of one more thing to make sure we don't strain our backs day after day. It is important where you will throw the waste, as well as where you will put the dishwashing liquid. They should also be conveniently located. However, we will discuss this in more depth in another topic.

The sink is the first thing you have to consider, even before you have bought kitchen units. No matter whether it is small or large, single or double, many things depend on choosing the right sink for the kitchen. The interior, as well as functionality and care for the health of the back and waist, there are important factors, so you should not lightly grab the first sink that visually appeals to you. There are, of course, things that unfortunately do not depend on you. There are many questions that we will answer in this article.

Let's first start with the things that are beyond our control. Water hardness is something to consider before you go shopping tirelessly for a kitchen sink. Or in other words, we need to know the hardness of the water that flows through our water supply. But why is this important? The harder the water that flows in the sink, the more minerals such as calcium and magnesium are contained in it, and this, in turn, means more white spots on the surface of the sink. Of course, there are many proven ways to protect your sink from their accumulation at the bottom, but it is best to bet on a granite sink.
Granite sinks are known for their luxurious appearance. Luxury comes from the uniqueness, which is a consequence of the substances that predominate in the material, therefore it is considered almost certain that you cannot find two exactly the same granite kitchen sinks. The surface of the material does not allow the retention of dirt and is easy to clean. The colors here can be very diverse. White, black, beige, gray or even marble imitation. The choice of color is huge, and also of size. The fact that this material has an extremely long life is also not to be neglected. Yes, such kitchen sinks undoubtedly have many qualities, but this comes at the expense of the price, which is higher than ordinary models. But is it worth the investment in such a product? I think so, because this is where you will spend a large part of your everyday life and it is a great way to show your family that you love them.
Ceramic kitchen sinks also deserve your attention. They are one of the most widely used for kitchen and bathroom. This sink looks beautiful and thanks to their smooth surface they are easy and quick to clean. They are cheap and fit perfectly into any interior. The only downside is that ceramic breaks easily and if you drop a heavier object into the sink there is a high chance of breaking it.
However, if you want a product that is really strong, then bet on a stainless steel kitchen sink. This material is considered the most durable, and its fame is not in vain. The strength of this sink is not limited to resistance to various mechanical impacts. This material is absolutely resistant to any chemically aggressive preparations. This is due to the elements chromium and nickel, which are an integral part of the composition of steel 304. It is impossible for such a sink to be colored. Another advantage is that even at a temperature of 300 degrees, this sink will not change its structure. To help complete your interior, designers offer you a huge variety of colors and different surface textures. You can bet on a stainless steel sink, which will look really stylish and elegant and will fit any kitchen furniture. As a disadvantage, we can say that they are a bit noisier, i.e. when the water is turned on, it "rattles" in the surface of the steel and if you don't like that kind of sound it might annoy you.

Let's talk now a little about the most popular sink colors, namely white and white.
The white kitchen sink has charm and an elegant appearance. It is suitable for any kitchen furniture. Contrary to all claims that white is difficult to wash, it is actually not true, because it is extremely easy to wash the sink. However, you should not leave metal objects on it for a long time because you risk the rust staining the white. You can create a contrasting look if you add a black faucet to such a sink. Black is a preferred color not only for a faucet, but also for a sink.
A black kitchen sink can bring harmony and style to your kitchen and you can't go wrong with it. It suits absolutely any interior. If you have hard water, as we said above, however, you run the risk of having white stripes on the bottom of the trough, which will stand out against a black background. Of course, the choice of colors is far from being limited to black or white. You can choose a gray or even a pink sink. The choice is huge...
