Stainless steel Lay on sinks

Stainless steel Lay on sinks are installed directly on the cabinet body, where they replace a traditional worktop. This design makes it quick and easy to equip the washing area and works particularly well in modular kitchens. A stainless steel Lay on sink is a practical choice for interiors where simple installation, high functionality and resistance to everyday use are important.

Types of stainless steel Lay on sinks and their applications

The right option depends on the cabinet width and how the washing area is used. The stainless steel sink range includes models in different sizes and Bowl configurations, allowing them to be matched precisely to household needs.

• Stainless steel 1-bowl sinks: a solution for smaller kitchens, kitchenettes or rooms equipped with a dishwasher. A stainless steel 1-bowl Lay on sink occupies less space and leaves an optimum working area around the cabinet.

• Stainless steel 2-bowl sinks: these provide more space for washing large dishes by hand and preparing meals. A stainless steel 2-bowl Lay on sink is often chosen for larger households where more pots and plates are used every day.

• Stainless steel 1.5-bowl sinks: the smaller auxiliary Bowl makes it convenient to rinse vegetables, fruit or cutlery while the main Bowl is occupied by other dishes.

Installation and compatibility with kitchen cabinetry

Lay on sinks are installed without interfering with the worktop. They are simply placed on a cabinet of a specific width, usually 50 cm, 60 cm or 80 cm. The sink rests securely on the edges of the cabinet, forming a level surface and protecting the cabinet interior against moisture.

An alternative installation method is provided by stainless steel Inset sinks, which are positioned in an opening prepared in the worktop.

Properties and advantages of Stainless steel

All Kuchinox sinks are designed with the demanding conditions of the washing area in mind. Stainless steel is a durable, fully hygienic material that is easy to care for every day.

A stainless steel Lay on sink offers the following benefits:

• Resistance to high temperatures: hot pots and pans can be placed on it safely straight from the hob.

• Resistance to thermal shock: sudden temperature changes, for example when boiling water is poured away and followed by cold water, do not deform the material structure.

• Resistance to discolouration: Stainless steel does not absorb odours or become stained by strongly coloured liquids such as beetroot juice or wine.

• Easy cleaning: the Smooth surface prevents excessive accumulation of food residue and makes it easy to rinse away quickly.

Frequently asked questions

Does a stainless steel Lay on sink require an opening to be cut in the worktop?

No. Lay on models are installed directly on the upper edges of the kitchen cabinet and completely replace the section of worktop above the unit.

How do you match a stainless steel 1-bowl Lay on sink to the cabinetry?

The external dimensions of the sink must correspond exactly to the width and depth of the cabinet on which it will be installed, most commonly the standard 50 cm or 60 cm size.

When is a stainless steel 2-bowl Lay on sink worth choosing?

Two Bowls work best in kitchens without a dishwasher because they make it easier to wash and rinse a larger quantity of dishes or pots at the same time.

How do you care for stainless steel 1-bowl Lay on sinks?

A soft sponge and standard washing-up liquid are sufficient for everyday cleaning. Avoid highly corrosive chemicals and wire scourers, which may scratch the steel surface.
