What about stainless steel sinks
Stainless steel sinks are very common cleaning tools in daily life, so how much do you know about stainless steel sinks?
Stainless steel sinks originated from foreign countries and first appeared in European and American countries. Taiwan was the first region in China to produce stainless steel sinks. In the early 1990s, Taiwanese businessmen introduced stainless steel sinks when they invested and built factories in the mainland. In the early days, there were Man Tangchunsinks. Later, there were Molin Flume and so on. To this day, Chinese stainless steel sink brands have blossomed all over the land of China, competing for glory.
Stainless steel sinks use stainless steel as the raw material for production. The main body is processed by one-piece stretching or welding, and then surface-treated and then shaped. It is an indispensable part of the installation of cabinets. The final product is Modern kitchens are one of the indispensable tools for washing vegetables or dishes.
Used in the kitchen, stainless steel sinks have the following advantages:
1. Various shapes, you can choose any size or depth;
2. Stronger ability to withstand high temperatures and not afraid of temperature difference effects;
3. It is not easy to break the tableware;
4. Easy to clean and durable.
It can be said that stainless steel sinks will be used when decorating kitchens and installing cabinets. However, with the increase in demand for stainless steel sinks, sinks of various different qualities make it difficult for some people who do not know how to judge when purchasing. What should you pay attention to when buying a stainless steel sink?
1. Size:
Because stainless steel sinks are generally placed on cabinets, you must pay attention to the size of the cabinet countertop when purchasing the sink to avoid size problems after purchase, which may affect installation and use. Of course, if you customize it, you don’t have to worry about this problem because it can be customized according to size.
2. Material:
When choosing a customized stainless steel sink, you must pay attention to the material of the stainless steel. Because the sink often comes into contact with water and other liquids that may corrode stainless steel, it is generally recommended to use 304 or 316 stainless steel for custom processing. Because 316 is more expensive, you can choose raw materials according to your own situation when customizing.
3. Thickness
PurchasingWhen buying a customized stainless steel sink, the thickness of the sink is also very important. It is best to ask an experienced master for his recommendation. In addition, you should carefully check the welding joint of the sink during acceptance. If the welding is not good, it is easy to leak, rust or even crack. After ensuring that there are no problems with the quality, then focus on the aesthetic appearance of the sink. After all, the quality of a product is the most important.
So how to identify the quality of stainless steel sinks? There are 6 standards below (Executive Standard: QB/T XXX-2008 "Household Stainless Steel Sink"):
1. Sink Steel plate thickness:
High-quality sinks are made of imported 304 stainless steel steel plates with a thickness of 1mm, while ordinary low-end sinks are made of 0.5mm -0.7mm, the identification method can be based on the weight and whether the surface is flat.
2. Anti-noise treatment:
The bottom of a high-quality sink is sprayed or glued with a rubber sheet that does not fall off, which can reduce the sound caused by the impact of water from the faucet on the basin bottom and play a buffering role.
3. Surface treatment:
A high-quality sink has a smooth surface, a soft luster visually, is not prone to oil stains, is easy to clean, and is wear-resistant.
4. Inner corner processing:
The inner corners of a high-quality sink are close to 90 degrees, making the sink visually larger and the basin volume larger.
5. Supporting parts:
A high-quality drain head requires thick walls, smooth handling, no water leakage when the cage is closed, durability and a comfortable touch. Downspouts must be made of environmentally friendly disposable materials, which are easy to install, odor-proof, heat-resistant, aging-resistant, and durable.
6. Sink Molding process:
One-piece molding technology solves the problem that welds cannot withstand a variety of chemical liquids due to basin welding Leakage problems caused by corrosion (such as detergents, stainless steel cleaners, etc.). The one-piece molding process is a particularly important process and has high requirements on the material of the steel plate. What kind of technology is used is an obvious reflection of the quality of the sink.
I hope the knowledge shared above will be of some help to your kitchen decoration.
