Sinks are a common feature in most toilets and kitchens. You may have seen these portable sinks in different shapes, dimensions, colours, and overall appearance. Some may have two separate taps for hot and cold water. Or a tap with two knobs representing hot and cold water. For that kitchen sink enthusiast, some types include Double basin bowl sinks, single basin bowl sinks), farmhouse sinks, drainboard sinks, Island sinks, low dividers, integrated sinks, and more.
These sinks may differ slightly in style and appearance, but all have the same functionality and are generally used for washing hands, dishwashing, and general purposes. Many of these sinks have a plumbing fixture fixed to a given location. Can you imagine waking up to realize your bathroom sink has moved from the far left to the near left angle of your bathroom? That’ll be a bit frightening, and you’d want to think about the possible reasons for the change of location, as these standard sinks are always fixed to the given site. The situation is very different with portable sinks. It is okay to expect them to move from one location to another. Let’s look into portable sinks, use cases, and benefits.
