If the sink is installed in an overhead manner, its dimensions must correspond to the dimensions of the cabinet. There are corner cabinets for kitchen sinks on sale. The sizes are most often 60x60 cm, but you can buy them with side lengths of 45, 40 and 35 cm. Therefore, first plan the size of the cabinet, and then buy the sink.

Sink depth
Depth affects the number of dishes that can be placed in the sink. If it is very fine, it will be difficult to wash pots and pans in it. But a deep one may not be very comfortable if you need to constantly bend over it.
Experts have calculated that the optimal depth of the bowl is 16...20 cm. It will be quite spacious, and washing dishes will not cause inconvenience.
Matching the style of the room
The model depends on the design of the kitchen and its style. For a kitchen made in classic style, sinks made of natural stone are suitable. Stainless steel - for anyone modern kitchen. The classic look of the room is emphasized by bronze and brass sinks.

What size kitchen sink is optimal? To find out this, you must be guided by the following product parameters - width, length and depth. For mortise ones, the necessary mounting hole in the countertop. Let's consider these parameters depending on the configuration and type of structure.
Invoices
The dimensions of overhead sinks are designed to fit standard cabinet dimensions. This is because they are installed on top of the headset.
The following must be taken into account as the main geometric parameters.
- Width. It can vary from 50 to 80 cm. However, the maximum dimensions are not always convenient, since with a high countertop it will be inconvenient to use the mixer. Therefore, most often they prefer to purchase a product with a width of 50 to 60 cm.
- Length. Directly depends on the configuration. Kitchen sink small size often does not have a side edge. Therefore, its length can be 60 cm. For a double design, the typical value is 80 cm. A product with one bowl, but with a larger side, can have the same dimensions.
- Bowl depth. It can be 16, 18 or 19 cm. Models with maximum depth more comfortable - reduces water splashing while washing dishes. However, when choosing them, you need to take into account the height of the siphon. It should fit freely in the cabinet.
The advantage of using overhead structures is their simple installation. To do this, just install the product on the cabinet. If the dimensions match, you won’t even need additional fasteners. But it is not always convenient to occupy the entire area of the cabinet. Therefore for kitchen furniture With small in size It is recommended to install mortise models.
Mortise
Their difference lies in the installation method. During selection a certain model It is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the bowl and edging.
Typical sizes mortise sinks for the kitchen are almost completely similar to overhead structures.
However, there is one significant factor - the mounting parameters for the bowl. They will crash into the tabletop.
Currently, manufacturers produce products that can be installed in cabinets with a width of 50 to 1200 cm. Their depth can be up to 80 cm. In this case, small sinks should be located at a minimum distance of 20 mm from the edge of the cabinet after installation.
The minimum geometric parameters for such a design should be 40 by 40 cm. If, in addition to the bowl, there is additional shelf for dishes - the dimensions will increase. The depth of the dishwasher can be from 170 to 190 mm. There are models in which this parameter can reach a value of 220 mm.
You should also consider the shape of the bowl when choosing a sink. Dimensions in photos or advertising brochures always give an accurate idea of the actual dimensions. There is no specific classification, but the following standard forms are accepted.
Double
Models with double bowls have become especially popular lately. Structurally, they are similar to standard ones, but instead of one container they have two.

The shape of the bowl most often remains round. There are no standard dimensions for such structures. Therefore, you need to carefully read the data specified in the product passport.

However, the cost of such products is 20-30% higher than similar ones. This is due to the labor intensity of production and the high consumption of material. Therefore, in order to save money, it is recommended to install them only if necessary - to create individual design kitchen, or guided by the dimensions of the cabinet.
In addition to the dimensions before purchasing, it is necessary to take into account other at least important parameters. These include the material of manufacture. Most often purchased are stainless or. Their sizes fully correspond to those described above.
As an additional parameter, you need to know the thickness of the metal. It can be from 0.4 to 1.4 mm. Accordingly, the larger this parameter, the longer the product will last.
For ceramic structures, the thickness is 11 millimeters. have the greatest thickness - up to 12 mm. This is due to the peculiarity of the material used.
The next parameter that needs to be taken into account when choosing is the diameter of the hole for installing the siphon. Currently, designs are manufactured with two types of sizes - 3.2 and 4 cm. The latter are used less frequently, since most models of plumbing fixtures are designed for the installation of siphons with a diameter of 3.2 cm.
When choosing, it is important to remember that the dimensions of the kitchen sink must correspond to the dimensions of the cabinet where it will be installed. Therefore, first of all, you need to know the configuration of the kitchen unit, and based on this, select the appropriate sink model.
