Bowl location
Position of the washing bowl relative to the entire body of the product.
The standard, most traditional variants are placement
left,
right or
center (if viewed from the user’s point of view). Some models are available in both left and right layouts; they are marked in our catalogue as
«left/right». There are also t. n.
reversible sinks: they have a symmetrical shape and can be installed both left-handed and right-handed, at the user’s choice.
The choice for this parameter depends primarily on the layout of the kitchen and how it is necessary to fit the sink.
Surface type
Type of washing surface made of stainless steel (cf. «Body material»).
— Glossy. Brilliant, mirror surface, distinguished by attractive appearance. On the other hand, on such a surface quickly appear contamination and mechanical damage (traces from dried water, fingerprints, scratches, etc.), so to preserve the appearance it needs to be cleaned regularly, or even polished.
— Matte. The matte surface does not look as bright as glossy - it is fainter, without pronounced reflections. On the other hand, such surfaces are less susceptible to contamination and damage: fingerprints, traces of dried water, scratches and scuffs on such surfaces are not as visible as on gloss.
— Textured. Surface having a relief pattern with a depth of a fraction of a millimeter. This material is most convenient and practical from the point of view of maintenance, it perfectly masks contamination and is well resistant to scratches. The main drawback of textured surfaces is higher cost than matt and glossy. In addition, contamination and bacteria can accumulate in grooves, so clean such sinks should be with special care.
Country of origin
There are many national stereotypes: some countries seem more attractive to many users than others. However, in our time these stereotypes are practically grounded. First, in the country of origin of the brand, often only the headquarters of the manufacturer, and the production may be located in another State. Second, the origin from a certain country is not a guarantee of quality: everything depends on how carefully a manufacturer controls its products. Therefore, to assess the quality should be guided not by «nationality», but primarily by the reputation of a particular brand and price category of the product. Among the countries represented are:
Germany,
Italy,
Poland,
Romania,
Serbia,
