Who makes the decision to buy the kitchen sink that will be installed in your kitchen is , often, not you.
The truth is that the decision depends on a number of factors.
The choice of a kitchen sink is frequently determined by various stakeholders that have their own commercial interests to fulfil.

NEW HOME OWNER
Should you be buying a new home or apartment the decision making unit becomes quite complex because you will get specifications from Architects, Quantity Surveyors, Developers, Plumbers, Installers, Kitchen Studios, Retail Shops, Kitchen Sink Manufacturers, Contractors and Interior Designers.
So, here is the point, transform your mind about kitchen sinks and be as involved as you would be if you were buying a Nespresso, the most innovative coffee machine, in my view, or indeed if you are selecting any top of the range kitchen appliance. The kitchen sink needs to be as impressive as the rest of the kitchen. Function, Design and Material do matter. There are many local and global brand names in the market and it is important for you to understand what is on offer before someone else decides for you.
