Manufacturers offer a wide range of models of various shapes for work surfaces of any configuration. Overhead sinks are generally more convenient than mortise sinks (no technological seams on the work surface, greater depth), but their use is limited by strict requirements for the design of the countertop. As a rule, sinks with under-counter installation are equipped with work surfaces made of natural stone. In kitchens with free-standing furniture, inexpensive overhead sinks are used. In small kitchens, the sink is often located in the corner. For such cases, round or special corner-shaped models are provided. In general, if the dimensions of the room allow, it is better to place the sink along one of the walls or so that only the wing occupies the corner position. "Island" models are still rare here - difficulties with connecting to utilities affect them.
