What is a corner sink?

In our time in modern apartments with a standard layout is often arranged L-shaped corner kitchen with a sink in the corner. This arrangement of plumbing has many advantages over its habitual location - along the wall, in the center:

1. Compactness. Corner sink for the kitchen takes up less space than the most common rectangular.
2. Aesthetic appeal Shells of this design have many shapes and colors, and therefore perfectly fit into any interior.
3. Practicality. The increased space under the sink in the corner will allow you to store in it not only a bucket with garbage, but also household chemicals, large dishes and other necessary kitchen items.
4. Convenience. Kitchen with corner sink is usually more convenient for the hostess, since there is no need to travel long distances from the stove to the work table or from the sink to the fridge.

However, there are some drawbacks in this kitchen layout:

• If the kitchen sink is too large, there is a "dead zone" in the corner behind the sink, where we recommend you place decor elements or objects that you rarely use.
• Repair and maintenance of plumbing is becoming rather difficult due to the fact that the door of the corner wash cabinet is usually much smaller than the space concealed behind it.

When choosing a kitchen with corner sink, you should consider all the difficulties that such a layout can bring. Otherwise - even a simple replacement of water filters will become quite a challenge.

Important! To select the most suitable for you model corner wash, appreciate the variety of shapes, materials used for their manufacture and installation methods.

Variants of the

form In the modern market, you can find corner washes of the following shapes and types:

1. Typical corner washers are often models with several bowls that are located at an angle of 45 degrees. Bowls can have a variety of shapes - triangular and rectangular, round and oval. Therefore, you can make a choice based on your preferences and needs. In such designs, one or two wings are provided for clean dishes. Sometimes one of these surfaces is placed behind the sink, which makes use of the space in the corner of the countertop.

Important! These models usually have large sizes, and therefore are not suitable for a small kitchen area.

1. Round corner kitchen sinks are small and in no way distinguishable from devices that are not located in the corners, but in the space along the wall.
2. Square or rectangular washers in the corner are ordinary washbasins that are built in under the slope.

The corner sink in the kitchen can be any size, because this characteristic is usually determined by the area of ​​the room and the needs of the family:

• If you live alone, a practical choice will be compact household appliances and furniture.
• If your family is large enough, you should take care of purchasing a more spacious washer.

Important! One of the most significant characteristics is the depth of washing, which should be at least 20 cm. If this figure is less, then when washing vegetables or dishes, splashes scatter throughout the kitchen. If you use a deeper shell, the mistress will have to bend over her, which is not very comfortable.

fabrication materials Angle washers are made of various materials, the characteristics of which influence not only the appearance, but also the product cost:

1. The most affordable and popular material for making kitchen sinks is stainless steel. From it, various shapes are manufactured, which are sufficiently hygienic, heat-resistant and unpretentious in operation.

Important! Among the shortcomings of this material is a loud noise with a strong head of water and the formation of light scratches on the metal surface.

1. One of the expensive options is a corner sink for kitchen from artificial or natural stone. It is worth noting that the characteristics of an artificial stone is not inferior to natural. The shell made of the composite is more durable and resistant to external and chemical effects.
2. Ceramic products are fragile, although their production methods are constantly being improved, which makes it possible to make stronger designs. Such a washing well tolerates temperature changes and chemical effects.

Important! During the creation of a unique design interior, sometimes resort to the choice of sinks from bamboo, wood or glass. When such art objects are chosen, their performance characteristic is not important, but only the appearance.
