Instead of the usual black plastic sink plug, there is a more attractive, basket-structured plug which prevents solid wastes from getting into the piping.
An inset sink has a seal ready fitted round the edge of the bowl. The bowl fits tightly into the worktop, so that accumulation of dirt at the bowl edge is minimized. As to a built-in sink, it is fitted completely level with the worktop surface and so is very easy to keep clean.
A full-width steel worktop gives a uniform, streamlined look to the kitchen. It also makes the handling of water very trouble-free and safe. An inset sink enables more choice of worktop materials around the sink - if a stone worktop is desired, for example.
It is worthwhile to think about the number of bowls in relation to the users needs and habits. If food is not prepared in the kitchen daily, one can manage very well with one bowl. If the kitchen is in regular use every day, it is advisable to choose a unit with at least one-and-a-half bowls.
Stainless steel does not rust. If the surface of the sink bowl starts to look rusty, it will be because another, separate material has rusted on the surface of the bowl. Such a stain can be removed as for other stains, by cleaning the surface with detergent and by rubbing sufficiently to remove the stain. Do not leave a wet cast-iron pot or pan (or any other wet metal object liable to rust) in the sink or on the worktop for a long time, because it can leave a mark there.

Stainless steel gets scratched in the course of use. On a sink unit with a smooth surface, any scratches will be visible at first, but with time the surface will become a little more matt and single scratches will no longer stand out among others. On patterned surfaces, scratches cannot be seen as clearly as on a smooth one. Take care to clean the worktop regularly, then the appearance of the worktop surface will stay attractive. Do not use scouring powders or steel wool to clean the worktop, because they will scratch it.
» More infoStala sink units and sink bowls are made from high-quality stainless steel. The stainless surface is durable, hygienic and easy to clean. The basic rule is: wash, rinse, dry. If your sink is an inset one, take care to regularly clean also the boundary between the worktop and the sink bowl. Do not use scouring powders or steel wool to clean the worktop, because they will scratch it. Rub the worktop surface in the lengthwise direction of the product. Inside the sink bowls, rub with a circular movement.
