Homeowners should not skimp on the kitchen sink when they come to renovate the room, it has been argued.DIY expert Ed Del Grande responded to a reader question in the Seattle Times which expressed confusion at the multitude of kitchen sink options available.Mr Del Grande claimed that people should pay close attention to the type of kitchen sink they buy given its prominence in the room.A kitchen sink will, in most cases, be the centrepiece of the entire kitchen, he commented. Plus, it most likely will be used every single morning, and you dont want to be reminded day by day that you cut corners on such an important fixture.The specialist suggested that stainless steel sinks may be a particularly good option, noting that some have features like a beautiful brushed finish to hide scratches and noise-reduction qualities.Meanwhile, Alison Coleman, marketing manager at Magnet, recently argued that consumers are actively looking for ways to make their kitchens more environmentally-friendly.
