Stainless steel sinks and worktops

KNOW-HOW

 
Stainless steel is one of the most durable materials and it continuous to look good and stylish, even after many years of hard use. The surface does not easily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does. Even after many years of use the surface remains resistant, easy to clean and hygienic. A stainless steel sink is seamless, non-porous and highly hygienic. The underside of bowls and worktop should be applied with sound deadening panels or a material such as bituminous rubber compound to minimize drumming. 
   

End table heights

KNOW-HOW

The rule of thumb is that the top surface area of an end table should be equal to or just below the height of the sofa arms. A standard sofa arm, is around 24-25 inches high, but you should always measure with the tape to be sure, since sofas do not have all have the same arm height. Most end tables are between 22 and 30 inches (55 to 76 cm) while the standard height is 24-25 inches (61 to 64 cm).

The end table is not suggested to be taller than the sofa arm. When the table top is above the sofa arm the result is awkard and also can make it hard for people to place a glass or pick up a book. If you can’t find end tables to match with your sofas and arm height, opt for a shorter rather than a taller table.

What end table to pick when you have an armless sofa?
If you have an armless sofa you have two options: Either select end tables that suit the height where arms would normally sit (24-25 inches or 61 to 64 cm), or buy low models that are level with the seat (14-17 inches or 35-45 cm). Neither option is better than the other. It just depends on your preferences and the balance of your space.
