Kitchen sinks: an endless range of possibilities
When it comes to renovating your kitchen, there are certain elements that are key, and one of them is the sink. It plays a fundamental role in the kitchen and, together with the worktop, it is one of the areas that is used the most, so choosing a sink that is both practical and beautiful is the perfect combo. To help you with this choice, we'll show you a myriad of materials and types of kitchen sinks; you probably didn't know there were so many possibilities!
Types of kitchen sinks by material
01. Stainless steel sinks
Stainless steel sinks are the most popular because of their ease of cleaning and resistance to heat and impact, which ensures high durability. Moreover, due to the wide variety of designs and prices, they are suitable for kitchens of all styles and budgets. However, these sinks are susceptible to scratching, and may eventually lose their shine over time, so special care should be taken when using them.
02. Neolith sinks
Neolith kitchen sinks are the best option when taking all their features into account, as they offer low porosity and high resistance to scratches and impacts, and can withstand high temperatures. Moreover, when it comes to aesthetics, this type of sink is available in a wide variety of colours and textures (smooth, polished, satin and rough), and it integrates perfectly with your Neolith countertop. There's a whole range of designs!
03. Ceramic sinks
Another type of kitchen sink is the ceramic sink, which is very popular in the kitchen, but in addition to its decorative value, it also provides resistance to scratches and high temperatures, and maintains its shine for a long time. One example is the ceramic sink in the picture, which blends in with the Neolith kitchen worktop in the Himalaya Crystal model, giving the kitchen a timelessly chic aesthetic.
However, ceramic sinks are more susceptible to staining in the long term, and can sometimes break if they are hit too hard.
04. Tempered glass sinks
Tempered glass sinks are not as well known or widespread on the market, but they are very hygienic and easy to maintain. In addition, although they are most commonly found in a transparent or black and white finish, you can also find them in other colours. However, on the downside, these sinks have low scratch resistance and are more vulnerable to impacts.
Types of kitchen sinks by style
01. White rustic sink
When talking about rustic kitchen sinks, the typical white ceramic sink comes to mind, however, this is not the only option to give your kitchen a country style. Neolith kitchen sinks are also a great option if you want to give this room a rustic style, and by differentiating yourself from the rest it will be even more successful!
02. Farmhouse kitchen sink
Farmhouse kitchen sinks offer a rural and retro design, reminiscent of sinks in old village houses. These sinks are characterised by a bowl that is large enough to fit all your kitchen utensils, but they are also known for the materials that they are made from, such as stone or ceramic. They tend to be recessed under the worktop, with the front part visible, to give your kitchen a unique touch. An example is the kitchen sink in the image, which, combined with the La Bohème model by Neolith, gives the room a rustic touch without neglecting a sense of elegance.
03. Vintage kitchen sink
Vintage kitchens offer a warm and cosy feel, and sinks are a key element in achieving this effect. Whether plain ceramic or with decorative motifs, these special sinks give your kitchen a welcoming vintage style.
04. Modern kitchen sink
Whether it is a stainless steel, tempered glass or synthetic sink, any of these options will give your kitchen a modern style if you take into account the colour and arrangement of its bowls. Although white has always been the colour of choice, the colour black is now becoming more popular due to the elegance and sophistication it brings to the kitchen. And another growing trend in modern kitchens is installing two bowls instead of one, and if they are also extra deep, even better. This is because it simplifies tasks and makes the space more practical and convenient, as well as aesthetically pleasing.
In short, when choosing your kitchen sink, the most practical and aesthetic option is for it to be integrated into the worktop. This will give you an environment in which you can create and work in complete freedom. So do you already know which design you’ll choose for your kitchen?
