Water quality is an important factor that causes stainless steel sinks to turn yellow. If the water used in the kitchen sink is hard and contains high minerals or organic matter, when the water flows through the surface of the sink, the minerals are deposited on the surface of the sink, which is easy to form scale.

Quartz sinks are relatively more durable, especially in terms of scratch resistance and impact resistance. The durability of composite sinks depends on the material. Quartz composite sinks are more durable, but stainless steel composite sinks are slightly inferior in scratch resistance.

When boiling water is suddenly poured into the sink, the surface and internal structure of the sink will expand thermally. If the temperature change is too drastic, it may cause cracks, peeling or deformation on the surface of the sink.

If the kitchen space is large, then it is usually no problem to choose a double sink, because the installation of a double sink requires more countertop space to accommodate the two trough surfaces, and the operation of a double sink requires a certain amount of countertop space. If the kitchen space is limited, especially in an open kitchen or a small kitchen, a single sink may be a better choice.

Stainless steel sinks are the most common type of kitchen sink on the market. They are durable, affordable, and easy to install. They are the first choice for many home and commercial kitchens. Although stainless steel sinks have many advantages, their maintenance costs are relatively low.

The space in the kitchen is limited, especially in some smaller apartment kitchens, it is particularly important to reasonably allocate every inch of space. If the sink is placed in the center of the countertop, the kitchen space may be occupied unnecessarily.

Although the material of the composite sink is strong, it is sensitive to changes in water quality. In particular, when hard water (water containing a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions) contacts the surface of the composite sink for a long time, scale will form on the surface of the sink.

Generally speaking, double sinks need to be at least 32 inches (about 81 cm) or larger in width, while single sinks are usually around 24 inches (about 61 cm) wide. If your kitchen countertop space is not large enough, refitting a double sink may cause serious compression of countertop space and affect other kitchen operations.

If the original drain pipe is not damaged, blocked or aged, and the drainage effect is good, then there is no need to replace the drain pipe when replacing the faucet. This is the most common situation.

An important feature of 304 stainless steel is that it is austenitic stainless steel and is usually not magnetic. Although the surface of 304 stainless steel may be slightly magnetic, its magnetism is much lower than that of iron materials. Therefore, testing by magnet method is a simple way to identify whether a 304 stainless steel sink is truly 304.
