How to select a suitable kitchen sink

Aquacubic is a qualified manufacturer for faucet and kitchen sink with PVD and Nano equipment.

When researching and designing kitchen layouts, we select and purchase countertops, sinks, stoves, and kitchen appliances according to specific needs. The sink not only influences the kitchen's aesthetics but also affects its internal operational efficiency. Therefore, in Aquacubic's design, we combine and offer faucet-sink accessories and products as a set, catering to customers' preferences and budgets.

Aquacubic's sink materials are categorized as follows:

Stainless Steel | Heat resistance and easy maintenance, diverse surface treatments Stainless steel sinks boast excellent durability and heat resistance, with simple maintenance requirements. Different sink brands use various thicknesses and processing techniques. For instance, surfaces may have glossy mirror finishes, embossed textures (convex-concave points), fine lines resembling hair, electroplating, and other treatments.

Artificial Stone/Acrylic-based and polyester-based, rich color options Artificial marble sinks are generally divided into two types: acrylic-based and polyester-based. Acrylic-based sinks exhibit impact resistance, heat resistance, transparency, and other features, while sinks made from polyester fiber are comparatively more cost-effective than acrylic ones.

Quartz Stone / High hardness, a choice between artificial stone and stainless steel Quartz stone sinks are made from quartz as the primary material, mixed with acrylic resin (20%) and pressed. They possess the warmth and robustness characteristic of stone, known for their corrosion resistance and durability. Initially prevalent in medical institutions and laboratory sinks, they later gained popularity in the market.

Due to the material's durability and countertop processing being mostly above-counter or under-mount, the high-temperature mixing of natural materials results in a darker color palette.

Ceramic/Unique tactile charm By using high temperatures to fuse glass onto the surface of metal in glazed form, it obtains a distinctive smooth texture and beautiful colors.

Ceramic is a relatively heavy material with excellent heat resistance and durability. However, due to situations like dishes or cups being dropped, these sinks are prone to damage, rust, and stains over extended periods of use. Nonetheless, for objects used infrequently, this material can be quite suitable and pleasant.

Styles, shapes, and functional designs of sinks:

Sinks are categorized by style as single-basin and double-basin (comprising a larger and a smaller basin); based on size, there are also distinctions between oversized sinks and medium-sized sinks.

In order to enhance usability, the sink's functionality necessitates ensuring essential width, alongside incorporating dish filtration designs. Thus, utilizing surplus space involves numerous improvements, ensuring sufficient depth and width. Additionally, through the use of side panels or racks attached to the sink, one can place dishes on one side while performing washing tasks inside the sink.

Moreover, the functionality of cutting boards has gradually shifted towards integration within the sink. These cutting boards are custom-made to fit the dimensions of the sink, allowing for easy installation and removal. In the case of large sinks, the inclusion of storage racks and cutting boards has become a standard configuration.

Sink equipped with soundproof pads

The principle of soundproof pads is quite simple: these pads use softer materials to mitigate the impact of flowing water on the stainless-steel bottom, thereby reducing the resonance generated by vibrations and achieving noise reduction.

Currently, the soundproof pads used in stainless steel sinks in the market mainly consist of modified asphalt, rubber, and EVA materials. High-quality asphalt soundproof pads are non-toxic, odorless, non-corrosive, and skin-friendly. Rubber and EVA demonstrate superior performance in terms of environmental protection, shock absorption, and noise reduction.

High-quality sinks in the market are required to be equipped with soundproof pads, which is also one of the national standard.

Aquacubic also provides the accessories to match with kitchen sink.
