Les meilleurs éviers utilitaires

Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about The Best Utility Sinks and hope the blog can help you.

Arrêtez de laver les taches dans la baignoire et de rincer les pinceaux sales dans l'évier de la cuisine. Un bon évier de cuisine est fait pour ce genre de tâches.

Many a DIYer has cleaned dirty paintbrushes in their kitchen sink. The bathroom sink might work fine for soaking stained clothes and the dog can get his bath in the tub, but while these are options to complete “dirty” tasks, doing so can stain, chip, or scratch nice plumbing fixtures. A better option is to install a utility sink in your garage or laundry room.

A utility sink is also called a laundry, wash, or mud sink. It has a larger capacity than a bathroom or kitchen sink, so it can hold a small dog for a bath or soak stained clothes. A utility tub is also made of rugged thermoplastic or stainless steel that won’t stain lightly from paint or damage easily with heavy or sharp objects.

Like kitchen sinks, utility sinks come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, which can make choosing the right one a challenge. This guide will review what features to consider when shopping for one, while highlighting some of the best utility sinks on the market.

Types of Utility Sinks 

Utility room sinks come in several types, ranging from a standard floor-mounted utility sink to under-mount models. Read on to learn more about the different types of utility sinks.

Sans rendez-vous

A drop-in sink, also called a top-mount sink, has a rim that extends over the sink. With this style of sink, the countertop holds the sink’s entire weight. Drop-in sinks are among the most affordable sink types and are easy to install; however, the lip makes it harder to wipe debris from a countertop into the sink.

Wall-Mount

Wall-mount sinks are more common in public restrooms due to their utilitarian look. Though you won’t find these in many bathrooms (with the exception of those with a more vintage look), their small profile makes them a popular option for laundry rooms. Per the name, the sinks attach to the wall, gaining all of their support from wall studs. Since there are no supports under the sink, the plumbing is exposed, which is why this sink type isn’t particularly popular in bathrooms.

Under-Mount or Flush-Mount

Under-mount or flush-mount sinks are fitted to the countertop’s underside. They typically fit to solid countertops, such as granite or quartz. There are two types of under-mount sinks. A reveal under-mount sink has a small rim that extends about ½ inch beyond the edge of the countertop. With an overhang under-mount sink, the counter edge extends over the edge of the sink, hiding it from view. Under-mount sinks may be more attractive than other sink types, but they also cost more.

Base Cabinet Mount

This type of sink rests on a cabinet that sits on the floor. The cabinet hides the sink’s plumbing and serves as a storage space for cleaners and laundry supplies. Since this laundry sink vanity has a cabinet, it tends to require more floor space than other utility sink types.

Floor-Mount

Floor-mount utility sinks have the most utilitarian look. A floor-mount sink consists of a large basin that rests on four feet. These sinks are often made of heavy-duty plastic, which makes them ideal for utility areas of the home. Plastic construction also means these sinks are among the cheapest utility sink options.

What to Consider When Choosing Utility Sinks

In addition to choosing the type of utility sink that is best for the space, it’s crucial to consider other factors, such as material, sink capacity, and any accessories that come with the sink.

Matériel

• Plastique: Most utility sinks are made from polypropylene, fiberglass, acrylic, or plastic, due to the materials’ stain- and scratch-resistance properties. This makes them ideal for rinsing everything from paintbrushes to gardening equipment. With its durability, plastic typically makes for the best utility sink for a garage.
• Acier inoxydable: Stainless steel’s ability to resist staining makes it suitable for use as a utility sink, though it is susceptible to scratches and even dents.
• Enameled cast iron: If the sink is going to take a beating, consider purchasing an enameled cast iron sink, which can handle dings from metal tools, paint-covered brushes, and pretty much whatever else a user can throw at it.
• Porcelain/ceramic: The porcelain and ceramic sinks typically found in the bathroom and even kitchen sinks are not ideal utility sinks. They chip more easily than other models and can be stained by paint.

Capacité

Utility sinks are larger than kitchen sinks, allowing them to handle tasks that a kitchen sink might not have the volume or depth to handle. Laundry sink dimensions average about 23 inches wide, 20 inches long, and 13 inches deep. However, utility sinks can be as much as 40 inches wide and up to 15 inches deep. This larger size makes these sinks suitable for soaking clothes or filling a tall bucket that wouldn’t fit under the faucet of a standard kitchen or bathroom sink.

Drain Placement and Other Features

It’s also important to consider the sink’s shape. Sinks that have steeper sides will drain more quickly than those with flat bottoms; however, a flat-bottomed sink will have a larger capacity for soaking items, such as stained clothing or paintbrushes. Some sinks also have soundproofing, which muffles the noise of water running into the sink or the sound of hard objects bumping up against the sink walls.

Many utility sinks also come with robinets, eliminating the need to buy one separately. These faucets are often high arching, giving them more clearance than other faucet types, and may come with pull-out sprayers that make it easier to clean items in the sink’s basin or to rinse out the basin itself.
