Main provisions
Often manufacturers of sinks use artificial stone instead of natural material. The properties of products made of natural stone may be inferior to those possessed by "artificial" competitors, the cost of such sinks is not much higher.
Choose stone from the sink for your interior
Artificial stone bowls contain:
- chemical elements that give resistance to defects;
- various dyes, decorative chips, which allow to embody bold design solutions.
Appearance (not shape) of natural stone washers is created by nature, from artificial - by humans. Almost all of them have a unique design. It does not depend on the origin of the material. You can not create two absolutely identical products.
Very beautiful and diverse
Almost all materials do not tolerate a sharp temperature drop. True, they feel it differently.
The stone is strong material, but it is easily deformed with a sharp temperature drop. For example, if boiling water is accidentally spilled on a cold surface, it may crack.
It is important to monitor the temperature drop.
Therefore, when pouring water from the pasta into the sink, it is better to turn on cold water so that boiling water from the pan does not interact with the stone.

Release bowls made of:
- corian;
- granite;
- liquid stone.
Material suppresses the sound of dishes
When considering the merits of sinks from different materials, their technological aspects are taken into account rather than visual ones.
Corian products are easy to clean due to the good water-repellent properties of corian, which in its structure practically does not contain pores. Corian sinks retain their original appearance for a long time.
Corian sinks are easy to clean.
Granite is also artificial. Do not be surprised at this fact. Natural granite is very expensive, artificial is cheaper. Bowls of granite:
- resistant to aggressive effects;
- easy to maintain.
They have a smooth surface. At their production the small crumb, and also polymeric pitch is used.
Granite very easy to maintain

Nothing special can be said about the practicality of round sinks made of stone. Looking ahead, the same applies to all stone sinks.
What is the reason? The fact that the properties of the material for the most part depend not on the form, but on the chemical composition. A stone of any shape remains a stone.

Double bowls in kitchens are installed very often. It is convenient to store, wash, and dry the dishes in them (what else do you usually need to wash?). Where to place a double cup? It is better not to put it on the corner. It looks good along the wall. In this experiment, no one forbade.

- It is convenient to defrost food in it - all the water flows into the drain.
Very user friendly
Corner
Such sinks are better placed in the corners. In this case, it is better to abandon experiments: corner washers really look best in the corners of rooms or remote objects. of furniture. It will be strange to see in the middle of a straight tabletop along the wall a bowl resembling a piece of cheese.
Often they are produced in two forms:
- Triangle shape. About her nothing special can be said.
- A form in which the two sides at right angles are connected to each other (just for installation in a corner), and the third side has a rounded shape.
