Which is better, integrated stainless steel sink or welded sink?
At present, the main materials of sinks are: acrylic, stone, ceramics, cast iron and stainless steel, among which stainless steel sinks have the most models and the most complete styles.
Bian Xiao searched several building materials malls, such as Taohaojia, on the Internet, and found that stainless steel sinks are so popular because of their wear resistance, high temperature resistance, aging resistance and corrosion resistance, which are very suitable for general household kitchens.
At the same time, the material of stainless steel is also different. For example, the price of 20 1 steel sink is slightly lower, but it is easy to rust, while the price of 304 steel sink is slightly higher, but 304 steel sink will not rust and is more durable.
Integral molding and welding have their own advantages. Integrated molding, beautiful appearance, difficult to find weld, smooth surface. However, integral molding is difficult in workmanship, and the thickness will be slightly uneven, generally only 1.0. However, the welded tank is deep, and now it is digital welding, so don't worry about falling. Generally it is 1.2 thick.
Tips for purchasing sinks
When purchasing a sink, in addition to considering the material, the requirements of manufacturing process can not be ignored. As far as the water tank made of 304 steel is concerned, there are two kinds of welding technology and integrated molding technology. When the sink is turned over, some can clearly see the welding marks, while others have no welding marks. It is understood that the surface of the integrated molding sink is smooth, without obvious welding marks, which is very beautiful, and the integrated molding process is difficult and has high technical requirements.
Besides washing dishes and vegetables, the sink also washes knives, chopping boards and other items. If the integrated tank is thin, it is not only easy to deform, but also easy to break, so the optimal thickness of the tank is between 0.8 mm and1.0 mm. 。
Because the integrated stainless steel sink is integrated, it looks better from the outside. However, due to the difficulty of workmanship, the thickness may be different in some places, and the overall thickness is relatively thin. If metal appliances fall in, they may be smashed. Because of the welding points, the appearance of the welding groove will be a bit ugly. If the welding point is not done well, there will be the possibility of water leakage and rust. Integrated stainless steel sink and welded sink have their own advantages and disadvantages, and can be purchased according to their own preferences.
