The business in the field of catering requires special care from its owner when choosing trade equipment. Whether you work in a tiny bakery or a large restaurant, every kitchen needs сommercial sinks. To determine how many sinks you need and what types to buy, consider what your business will use them for. You will need at least one double tub for washing and rinsing equipment. You should definitely have at least one other sink for washing your hands. This sink must not be used for any other purpose.
According to the structure of the sink, mortise stainless steel sinks are — glossy, matte and decorated. Decor, micro-decor are sinks with a textured surface, which provides additional protection against mechanical damage and scratches. There are also kitchen mortise sinks — one-bowl, two-bowl, with drying, without drying. In shape — square, rectangular, round, oval and trapezoidal.
Even a non-professional can cope with the installation of commercial sinks, because the most difficult thing in installing a built-in stainless steel kitchen sink is to cut an even niche in the countertop, put the sink into the hole on the silicone and press it with special fasteners to the countertop. You may need a separate utility sink for cooking, which should not be used for washing hands or equipment.
Stainless steel sink — how to choose?
Commercial sinks are made by stamping — a single sheet of metal is used for manufacturing, which makes them more resistant to corrosion, have deep sinks and modern shapes. High-quality steel 0.6-0.8 mm thick helps to ensure stability and prevent possible deformations of the sink during use, and the polished satin surface makes it much easier to wash and care.

You can buy a stainless steel kitchen sink for surface and mortise mounting. Mortise models are more hygienic. Such equipment as commercial sinks prevent moisture from getting under the countertop, and at the same time, the formation of mold and fungus. When buying at shop all compartment, we recommend considering:
- steel thickness (the strength and durability of plumbing directly depends on this);
- design of the product (purchase of one or two bowls, with ‘wing’ for drying dishes);
- type of coating (chrome, matt, satin);
- shape and overall dimensions (it is very important to buy a model that is suitable in size);
- available colors.
The kitchen has special ‘climatic’ and other conditions, so everything should be truly unpretentious — from wallpaper and tiles to plumbing. Therefore, for the topic of how to choose stainless steel sinks, a mandatory item is the brand that produces the products you are interested in.
