Kitchen sinks Ulgran: reviews

Sink is one of the important elements of kitchen arrangement. On its quality depends on the mood with which you cook. Before buying, the sinks decide where it will be located. This largely determines the basic parameters: shape, size, design.

How to choose a sink

The shape of the bowl, its depth, diameter and placement of the drain hole are of great importance for the functioning of the sink.

Sink need not only buy, it's important to install it correctly. By the method of installation, the sinks are divided into:

• Invoices;
• Mortise;
• Integrated.

The overhead sink is superimposed on the curbstone instead of the countertop. It is fast and convenient to install, move. Pipes are hidden by a curbstone.

To install the mortise sinks, you need to cut a hole of a certain size. The appearance of such sinks is attractive, but you can not install a new one in place of an old mortise.

Integrated washers - a single complex, which is made to order and installed by specialists. She does not understand and does not separate from the countertop.

According to the shape of the sink can be rectangular, round and other shapes. In this case, rectangular can be ordinary and angular.

Rectangular can be easily installed in an overhead way. But they can be both embedded and integrated. Round can also be installed only in a mortise way. For them, more space is needed than for rectangular ones, while the bowl of such a sink itself will be smaller than that of a rectangular one on the same table. They are installed in spacious rooms.

Sinks of non-standard shape are made to order. Usually they are also located in spacious rooms.

Wings of a sink are a support for a clean dish, which can be located on one or both sides of the bowl.

Sinks vary by the number of bowls. There can be one, two. Some sinks are equipped with an additional compartment for defrosting food.

Sinks are differentiated according to the material from which they are made. It can be:

• a natural stone;
• fake diamond;
• ceramics;
• metal;
• plastic.

Natural stone is beautiful and durable. There are no spots on it. But it can spoil chemical substances. At the same time, products made of artificial stone are lighter in weight, cheaper in price. But they are more difficult to look after, because the spots are more prominent on them.

Ceramic sinks are beautiful, but not strong enough. Metal lungs, strong. But the sound of water in them is heard more strongly than in the ceramic ones.

Manufacturer of "Ulgran" sink

Sinks Ulgran ("Ulgran") are produced in Ulyanovsk by the company "A-Kampazit". The material from which they produce their products is artificial marble. Buyers like sinks from artificial stone Ulgran. Reviews indicate that the material is often of decisive importance when choosing a product for the kitchen.

In the range of sinks of different colors: white, gray, dark gray (black), beige.

There are products with one shell of round or rectangular shape, with a wing, one or two, or without them. You can buy a sink consisting of two bowls, large and small. They are ergonomically shaped, the platform for the mixer is raised.

The manufacturer claims that the products of the company "Ulgran" are hygienic, easy to clean, resistant to high temperatures, do not scratch and do not damage from blows. Experts say that the material from which the sink is made can not be affected by chemicals and compounds.

Positive reviews

Evaluating kitchen sinks Ulgran, reviews of many users say that these are modern and quality products. They like the size, the material from which they are made. Note that the sink is deep, so it is convenient to wash dishes. The sound of falling water is not audible at the same time. It extinguishes the shell material - artificial marble. It is made from two fractions. I like the design of shells "Ulgran" - strict and at the same time modern. A filter-strainer closing the opening is convenient.

The price of washing "Ulgran"

Especially the buyers like the low price of the product. The cost of washing is approximately 4-8 thousand rubles. And this at a time when the products of other manufacturers are worth 15-20 thousand rubles.

Some stores carry out the sale of sinks, slightly reducing the prices for them.

Reviews are negative

There are claims for completing the washing of Ulgran. Feedback from users suggests that the tube of sealant, which you need to plant a sink, is sometimes semi-dry. This leads to the fact that you need to postpone the installation in search of a new or painfully poking around in the tube with improvised means, trying to find a liquid fraction there.

Some buyers say that the gasket on the siphon from the kit turned out to be less than the thickness. Therefore, it is often not possible to achieve tightness when installing the Ulgran sink.

Feedback from some users makes claims to instructions for the buyer. The installation guide shows the dimensions of the cut, which you need to make in the countertop to install a sink. But buyers are advised to make a hole diameter smaller by a few millimeters. Otherwise, at the slightest deviation of the saw, it may turn out that the sink will simply fall into the hole made. And the most correct decision they think is to measure the diameter (for a round) or the length of the sides (for a rectangular) sink. Then drop a couple of millimeters to pass the saw. So it will be easier to install Ulgran sinks.

Reviews note that the rubber sealing ring is slightly smaller than the hole in which it is installed. This leads to the fact that it hangs during clamping.

The overflow has sharp untreated edges. This can lead to a cut while washing or cleaning the sink. Therefore, users recommend a little grind on their file. Consumers also note that over time, metal inserts in the sink rust.

How do Ulgran stone sinks behave when exposed to various substances? Comments from users of light sinks from "Ulgran" note that the products absorb the color of the liquid that enters the sink. And cleaning by soft means, as the instruction recommends, does not help, it is necessary to wash means containing chlorine. They allow for a while to get rid of the yellow plaque, but then it appears again.

Users note that there are no sides at the edges of the sink. Therefore, water flows over the countertop.

Ulgran sinks and hot water

How do they react to the hot water of the Ulgran? User reviews indicate that it is cracked by heat and ceases to be airtight. Do not put hot dishes removed from the cooker in the sink, pour hot water.

It happens that after pouring hot water at the sink at one time completely disappears the bottom. However, water may not necessarily be hot. Sometimes the bottom disappears when trying to wash the dishes with water, heated to a temperature of 50-60 degrees. This is one of the reasons why the Ulgran kitchen sink gets negative characteristics. User reviews consider it absurd that the dishwasher can not be filled with hot water.
