34cm Mira Single Bowl Undermounted Sink Brass PVD

The best sink for your kitchen depends on your style and kitchen habits. Our Smeg sinks come in a wide range of materials, to ensure you find one that is right for your kitchen:

• Stainless steel sinks: The classic stainless steel sink is perfect for high-traffic kitchens and offers a modern style. Durable, stain-resistant and easy to clean, you can’t go wrong with a stainless steel sink.
• Composite granite sinks: Composite granite sinks are known for their durability, being scratch- and heat-resistant, and available in a variety of colours.
• Brass sinks: Brass sinks offer a bold and luxurious look to your kitchen with their warm golden tones. Perfect for the vintage or modern kitchen, they are naturally antimicrobial.
• Copper sinks: Copper sinks deliver a unique and eye-catching aesthetic to your kitchen. If your kitchen style is rustic, this standout feature is essential. Similar to brass sinks, copper sinks are naturally antimicrobial.

When choosing the right kitchen sink there are numerous factors to consider. Is it going to replace an existing kitchen sink, which means it will need to be the same size and shape, or are you completely redesigning your kitchen or countertop? This means you can choose an entirely new design, layout and size for your sink.

If you’re redesigning your kitchen, you will need to consider the visual appearance and material choice of your new sink. For example, copper or brass sinks are a great choice for vintage kitchens. But a stainless steel sink (while very functional) would look out of place. Similarly composite sinks which resemble dark granite are a popular choice within contemporary kitchens.
And if you do lots of washing up in your kitchen, then you may want a kitchen sink with an extra wide bowl, a 1.5 bowl (a regular-sized sink basin with a smaller, separate sink basin attached to it) or a double bowl (two bowls of similar size, separate, but next to each other).
For a 1.5 bowl or a double bowl, you will also have to consider the type of tap or taps you need, whether you choose multiple taps (one for each basin), or the more common solution, a tap that can turn and be used for both basins.

Double bowl kitchen sinks are useful for separating cleaning tasks. For example, one sink can be used for food prep, or for soaking dishes, whilst the other can be used for general washing up. You could even use one of the sinks for non-food related tasks such as soaking clothes prior to washing without the frustration of tying up your sink.

Double sinks are also invaluable for multi-user kitchens and busy households where there may be a larger amount of washing up to handle. If you have extra-large pots and pans to wash however, you may find it more advantageous to choose an extra wide single sink such as our 72cm sink.

Inset sinks are sinks that sit with the rim above the countertop, compared to undermount sinks which have a seamless fit into your countertop with no rim.
Inset sinks are easier to install and are compatible with most countertop materials. They do, however, collect dirt around the edge, making them more difficult to keep clean.
Undermount sinks attach to the countertop from underneath providing a seamless look, and are easier to keep clean. They do, however, require solid-surface countertop materials that can hold their weight, and require professional installation.

An integrated draining board is a recessed drainer that is cut into your worktop; a flat, gently-sloping surface to one side of your kitchen sink that allows water to drain into your sink.
Whether you need a sink with an integrated draining board depends on how much washing up you do by hand. If you do a lot of washing dishes by hand, then an integrated draining board can be a helpful way to keep your kitchen clean, while offering a seamless look.
Equally, if you don’t do much washing by hand, then you’re less likely to require a draining board. In these instances, a sink-only solution can be preferable as it consumes less worktop space.
The type of sink you desire may mean an integrated draining board isn’t an option. Popular sinks such as an undermount and a Belfast sink, don’t include drainage boards as an option.
