What configuration of sink to choose
- 1 bassin with or without drainboard: good for small kitchens.
- 1 bassin and a half with or without drainboard: compromise between the single sink and the double.

It also exists sinks with more than 2 bassins, rather rare thus more expensive. The depth of the tanks varies between 15 and 22 cm.
