What causes Condensation underneath Stainless-Steel Sink?

The cause of condensation forms and drops of water fall from the bottom of the sink is caused by different temperature between the sink and the temperature below the sink inside the cabinet or the temperature between the sink and the surrounding ambient temperature.

Water that supply to all households via water supply pipe is usually cold or at lower temperature compare to the ambient temperature, when the water come-in contact with the Stainless-Steel Kitchen Sink it will bring the temperature of the sink lower and condensation formed due to different temperature.

Crizto Stainless-Steel Sink is coated with a layer of water-based paint to reduce condensation and diffuser rubber to scatter the sound energy over a wide angle, rather than allowing a coherent reflection of sound to bounce back, helps to reduce the sound when running water from the tap hit the sink.

What causes the temperature inside a cabinet to build-up?
1. Heat from Sunlight, when sun shining at opposite wall where the sink is installed causes heat to transmitted into the enclosed space of the cabinet.
2. Poor ventilation, it’s leads to a buildup of carbon dioxide inside the house / inside the cabinet as the level of oxygen slowly gets depleted.

Solution:
Have a small opening at the side / underneath the cabinet to allow heat to disperse out, this will help.

What causes water droplets form under the sink?
1. Heat Exchange, defrosting frozen food in the sink or disposing cold waste into the sink.

Solution:
NOT to defrost your frozen food on the sink, use a defrosting tray (Defroster Tray).
A classic example is to take a can / bottle of drink from the fridge and leave it on the table, water droplets will from due to different temperature.
