Granite Kitchen Sinks

Both granite and composite sinks offer style. Both are heat resistant and scratch resistant, but which should you go for? Granite sinks tend to be more expensive than composite but offer a unique design. Composite sinks have a much more uniform look and are more resistant to watermarks, stains and chipping.

Granite sinks offer a unique design, style and are heat resistant. Look after it properly with annual sealing and good care, and it’ll also be resistant to scratching and stains. Granite sinks are heavy, though, so expect to add on extra supports that aren’t included.

Granite kitchen sinks allow you to make a real statement in your kitchen. The durability of granite allows the world's leading manufacturers to create a range of innovative, stylish designs - which always impress.

What are Granite Kitchen Sinks made of?

Granite sinks are made from a mix of real quartz and high-grade acrylic to ensure that the sinks are resistant to stains, intense heat, everyday knocks and bumps and scratches. The sinks are made using a mix of Granite stone dust and acrylic resin which is then placed into an open top mould and the composite materials are injected into the sink facing downwards. As Granite stone dust is naturally heavier it falls to the surface of the sink which means the Granite concentrate is much higher on the surface, making it stronger and more hard wearing. This process also gives Granite sinks natural hygienic properties by making the surface less porous.

Granite sinks unlike many other material sinks offer a wider range of colours to keep up with the ever-changing fashion trends, if they don’t make a specific colour – it’s probably for the best. Also see our range of Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks.
