The sink in small spaces: by land, sea and air

Cooking and eating are two basic parts of everyday life that become even more important during the holidays. Some people also cook while on holiday, some cook for more people while on holiday, some do not want to see a kitchen at all during the holidays, some do not eat in the same place two days in a row, etc... For the more adventurous travellers, who want to spend their holidays travelling like turtles (carrying their home on their back and in no hurry), the kitchens of caravans or sailboats become the setting in which to give free rein to creativity or the ability to adapt. And since the person who cooks should not have to wash the dishes, according to an unwritten law, it is advisable to have a good kitchen sink to "enjoy" this household task as comfortably as possible.

Kitchen sink models for caravans and boats

The kitchen sink most recommended, both for a caravan and for a sailing boat of up to ten metres in length, is the cylindrical one, made of stainless steel. Although one bowl is enough on smaller sailboats, from fifteen metres in length onwards sailboats are fitted with double-bowl sinks.

Ventilation and lighting in the area dedicated to the kitchen are aspects of great importance in the design of kitchens for small spaces.

Also important is the sink with its essential accessories. Washing up is unfortunately as necessary as cooking or eating, and to wash comfortably you need a good sink, wide and, if possible, double-bowl. If you have to remodel the kitchen of the boat or caravan, think of a good stainless steel sink and if that is not possible, at least the tap can be replaced single-lever high-neck tap that allows a wide swivel to make cleaning all utensils easier.

For both boat and caravan there are models of integrated hobs and sink. They range from one burner and one bowl to two burners and one bowl with drainer. The set can also include a heat-resistant safety glass cover that helps gain more work surface when it is not in use.

In the Atron catalogue, the Medea sink is the best option for kitchens in small boats and caravans.

Whether in kitchen and sink installations for boats, caravans or private aircraft, space and safety are a priority for those who create their designs, and it is essential to use materials that are resistant and easy to clean, since maintaining these means of transport is not particularly cheap. The aviation sector is the one with the most safety regulations limiting the creativity of those who design living spaces.

Compact Atron sinks

For limited spaces we recommend models from the collection Logic such as the Round or the Block. Combine them with a single-lever tap and the accessories you need.
