50 to 50 wash and its types

Kitchen sink 500x500 mm has a fairly compact size and at the same time, its dimensions are enough for comfortable washing dishes and products. However, when choosing a sanitary appliance, in addition to the dimensions, it is necessary to pay attention to its design, installation method and other aspects. In this article we will look at what types of sinks of these sizes exist, and what are their main differences.

Types of sinks

Sink size 50x50 is an excellent option for small kitchens, as it takes up little space. However, the choice of this sanitary appliance is a very important task, since it must not only fit into the space allotted to it in the kitchen, but also be comfortable. In addition, an important requirement for modern sinks is an attractive appearance, which must match the interior of the kitchen.

To purchase a product that meets all these requirements, you must first familiarize yourself with all its existing types.

So, today kitchen sinks primarily differ in the following features:

• The material from which the product is made;
• Mounting method.

In addition, the differences may be in the number of bowls (one or two), their depth, configuration, and other certain points. However, the most important are the methods of installation and material.

Below is a detailed look at all types of sinks that differ in these parameters.

Mounting method

By the method of installation this plumbing is divided into the following types:

• Overhead;
• Mortise;
• Installed under the countertop.

Each type of design has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Overhead

In this case, to install this sanitary device you will need a cabinet for washing 50 to 50 of appropriate sizes and without a table top. Not so long ago, this design was the most common. Its main advantage is ease of installation, so you can install it yourself without much difficulty.

As a rule, the fixing of the bowl on the cabinet is carried out with the help of screws and special fasteners. It should be noted that the 500 in 500 mm waybill is considered somewhat outdated, therefore it is less popular. However, on the market you can find quite stylish models, for example, ceramic or artificial stone.

Mortice

Unlike the previous construction, the mortise shells are installed in a hole specially cut in the tabletop. They look more stylish and modern, so lately they are the most popular.

The disadvantages of such shells are only the fact that they are more difficult to install, as it is necessary to carefully cut a hole in the countertop with a jigsaw. It does not matter what size has a cabinet under the sink 500 to 500, as long as the sanitary fixture fits on the countertop.

Note! In some cases, it may be necessary to make an additional hole in the countertop for the mixer. In this case, it is necessary to correctly determine its location so that the water jet hits the center of the bowl.

So that the water does not fall under the bowl and does not spoil the tabletop, the end of the cut is treated with silicone sealant. In addition, often between the bowl and the table top stack seal of polyethylene foam.

Installed under the countertop

Plumbing devices of this type in many respects resemble mortise, the difference between them lies only in the fact that they are not installed above the table top, but under it. The advantage of this design is that it does not have unnecessary joints, so that it is much easier to keep the sanitary appliance clean.

In addition, this plumbing looks even more attractive and stylish. Under the tabletop product is fixed with screws.

Types of materials

The choice of material of the product must be given no less attention than the choice of the method of its installation, since such things as:

• Product price;
• Performance;
• Design;
• Ways to care for the surface, etc.

Sink for kitchen 50 by 50 by 50 can be made of the following materials:

• Stainless steel is the most common option, as stainless steel products are quite cheap and at the same time have good performance.. In particular, they are easy to clean and resistant to acids and alkalis. The surface of the bowl can be glossy or matte. I must say that stainless shells come in all shapes and sizes. Thanks to this, you can choose the most suitable product, for example, if you need a stainless sink 650x500, and not 500x500 mm.
• Ceramics - these sanitary appliances primarily have an attractive appearance.. Unlike the previous type of products, they are more “quiet” in operation, as well as scratch resistant. The disadvantage is the large weight and instability to shock loads.
• Artificial stone - recently sanitary ware made of artificial stone is very popular. They have good performance and look very beautiful. However, the instruction for their use implies special care for their surface.

• Natural stone - shells made of natural stone are the most durable, but at the same time they are very expensive. Therefore, they are used quite rarely.

Note! When purchasing detergents for plumbing it is necessary to pay attention to what material they are intended for. Incorrectly chosen household chemicals can spoil the surface of the bowl of the product.

Here, perhaps, all the most common types of kitchen sinks that manufacturers offer today.
