Kitchen sinks come in all shapes and sizes – making it almost impossible to choose which one is best for you. Whether you are looking for a standard old-school kitchen sink model or a more seamless and modern design, the kitchen sink stores around Malta and Gozo are sure to hold the perfect kitchen sink for you. 

Top-Mount Sink

Top-mount or drop-in sinks are installed from above. They are the most common types of sinks available in Malta, as they do not require specialised skills to install. They can be acquired in a wide range of materials, including stainless steel and composite. While practical to install, these sinks do not come with added benefits such as the facility of sweeping water directly from counter to sink. Debris gets stuck between the sink and countertop easily. 

Undermount Sink

These distinctive and functional sinks are excellent for creating a gorgeous and seamless space. These sinks are highly practical and create a smooth surface, along with a sophisticated look. When opting for an undermount sink, one needs to take into consideration that improper installation might cause serious kitchen damage through leaking. However, undermount sinks are much easier to clean, and they're better designed to use along with hardy materials such as marble, concrete and granite. 

Double Basin 

If you have a substantial amount of counter space to spare, a double basin sink might be worth considering – particularly if you do not want to invest in a dishwasher. They are incredibly useful for soaking stubbornly dirty dishes, while still having a free sink bowl to use as you please. 

A double basin sink is a great addition for people who are serious about cooking – when prepping your meals you can use one bowl for vegetables and another for meat – this will avoid cross-contamination. 

Double basin sinks, however, are not for everyone – particularly if you have a small kitchen or an awkwardly-shaped one. Double bowls require double drain pipes and are also heavier on the counter.

Integrated Sink

These beautiful creations are designed to fuse the countertop and sink into one integrated design. This means that the countertop and sink are made from the same material – such as granite, concrete or quartz. These beautiful sinks are a designer's dream, as they can add to the overall aesthetic of your kitchen by presenting it with a holistic overall look. Integrated sinks are highly customisable and can be presented in countless finishes and design combinations. While these wondrous sinks are extremely beautiful, they come with numerous disadvantages, and for good reason. Integrated sinks can become scratched, chipped or even gashed, making them an absolute pain to replace or fix, as that would mean changing the entire kitchen countertop. 

Farmhouse Sink

These highly yearned-for kitchen sinks are renowned for their timelessness and beauty – they are distinctive and can complement pretty much almost all decor styles. They are renowned for their stylish and distinctive build. While installation processes vary according to the material you choose, these sinks provide your home with an instant upgrade. They have extra capacity, can be used for a number of chores and they look absolutely stunning. However, they can be complicated to install – particularly if you choose a fireclay or ceramic model – and they take up a lot of space in your kitchen.

Drainboard Sink

These stainless steel sinks are the most common types you can find around – they come in a wide choice of sizes and materials, and range from expensive and high-end options to more mid-range models. Drainboard sinks offer an eco-friendly way to dry dishes and are renowned for keeping countertops dry. These models, while being the most popular options available, tend to take up loads of countertop space, and the grooves on the drainboard itself can be quite difficult to clean. 

Corner Sink

Corner sinks come with two large basins that are ideal for those looking to save up on island space – however, they do come at a price. While they are comfortable to use and look unique, corner sinks can be quite tricky to install. They also take up heaps of counter space and may even affect top cabinets, as one would need better overhead space to use a corner sink comfortably.
