There are various brands and designs available, the most common kitchen sink is an inset design . These are fitted with the rim of the sink and drainer overlapping the worktop. As they can be fitted onto most surfaces, and completely seal the space between sink and work-surface, this type of sink is the most popular choice.

The sink bowl is fixed underneath the worktop, giving a stylish, fashionable appearance. You can also opt for your new stainless steel sink to be flush mounted or integral. An integral design is where the sink top and existing surfaces are manufactured from the same materials, giving a seemless, contemporary appearance.

Stainless steel blends in ideally with most kitchen furniture, splashbacks, appliances and decor. Designs can be shaped either square or round to complement your lifestyle and choice, giving a stylish, fashionable appearance which will last for years to come.

These are ideal to separate units used for dish-washing, with a completely separate sink for preparing foods and vegetables.

Kitchen sinks can be purchased in a variety of materials, from ceramic, glass, stone, or stainless steel. For heavy-duty kitchens, however, stainless steel is definitely the most practical option. This much used area of the kitchen withstands the use of harsh detergants, bleach, knives and other sharp utensils and cutlery, and the sink needs to be manufactured from a hard-wearing, durable material, to endure the years of wear and tear it will be expected to last.

Stainless Kitchen Sinks can also be easily cleaned by using a proprietary household cleaner such as Flash or Cif. Just by simply wiping the surface clean after use, the kitchen sink will retain its shine, looking great for years to come.
Prices vary for Stainless Kitchen Sink, and you can expect to pay from around £40 to £50 for a basic single-bowl item, to upwards of £500 for a top quality designed unit, such as the Franke Papillon designer pack with one and a half bowls, made from a stainless silk finish. It's best not to scimp on quality as this area is used considerably and needs to be made of good quality, hard-wearing materials.

With the right consideration and choice your new kitchen sink will add elegance and style to your kitchen, and with minimal care and attention, last for many years to come.
