Have you seen a 3 compartment sink? I am sure you must have. However, there are different kinds of 3 compartment sinks:
1. Corner 3 compartment sink: Such a sink is generally installed to cut negative space by utilizing the corners of a kitchen. If you have a terrible space crunch in your house, then corner sinks happen to be the best thing for your kitchen.
2. Drop sinks: Such 3 compartment sinks are also installed when you have relatively less space in the kitchen. Drop sinks happen to be the popular choice for people living in apartments or annexes.
3. Stand 3 compartment sinks: Such sinks are ideal for kitchens that are relatively large in size. Thus, they are usually installed in cafes, restaurants and hotels as it helps in saving a lot of time while cleaning the dishes.
Drop and Corner sinks are usually available with 1 or 2 drain platforms but stand sinks may or may not have drain platforms.
It must be noted that cafes and restaurants have to install only an NSF certified 3 compartments sink as such a sink has soft corners from the inside and is ideal for a place where dishes need to be washed quickly.
