3 Minutes Learn About the Material of the Resterant Kitchen Sink

The materials of the commercial restaurant kitchen sink are mainly stainless steel, artificial stone, ceramic and granite, which can be selected according to the style of the cabinet, the material of the countertop and the usage habits.

1. Ceramics

Ceramic material is heavy. It is best to explain clearly in advance when purchasing cabinets, so that the cabinet and countertops can provide enough support for the sink. The ceramic sink is resistant to high temperature, easy to clean, and resistant to aging, but collisions and scratches with hard objects must be avoided. A scouring pad can be used for cleaning, and metal wire can also be used if you encounter stubborn stains, but you must wipe it gently.

2. Stainless steel

The stainless steel kitchen sinks is the most widely used, and its metallic texture can better integrate into the overall style of the kitchen. There are many types of stainless steel. Among them, the most suitable for making sinks is European 304 stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant, oxidation-resistant, tough, durable.

The stainless steel commercial dishwashing sink is best to adopt the cold drawing process, which can ensure that the internal physical structure of the steel is not damaged, and the original corrosion resistance is maintained. The bottom of the basin does not need to be coated, which is tough and durable. The stainless steel professional kitchen sink cast by the cold drawing process does not require coating, so a mercerized surface that has been polished many times is a good choice. Some people think that the frosted surface looks more quality. In fact, the frosted surface of the sink is an oxidation coating formed by the surface treatment of the electrolytic solution. When the coating falls off, the basin will be corroded quickly, so it is not the best choice. If you don't like mercerized surface treatment, you can also choose precision fine embossing, which is a treatment method that is more scratch-resistant than ordinary polished surfaces.

3. Granite

The granite (quartz) kitchen sink is made of the hardest high-purity quartz material in granite (quartz) mixed with food-grade high-performance resin, and is die-casted by high-tech technology. The granite commercial kitchen sink is difficult to be scratched by ordinary ironware, can effectively prevent scratches and dirt, and can withstand high temperatures of 300 degrees Celsius without fading. The raw material of granite (quartz) sink is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-radiative, recyclable, and pollution-free waste disposal. The granite restaurant sink process is integrally formed at one time. Since it does not require welding like the stainless steel sink, it will not crack.

4. Artificial stone

Artificial stone is usually used for the countertops of cabinets. It has rich colors and can be matched with cabinets of various styles. It's just that the texture is not as hard as stainless steel. When using it, avoid hitting with knives or hard objects to prevent scratching the surface or destroying the finish. Artificial stone kitchen sinks need a hard-working "master". After each use, you need to gently wipe off the water stains remaining on the surface with a cloth. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it is easy to cause stubborn stains.
