Stainless Steel Sinks Stainless steel is still the most popular kitchen sink style. Stainless sinks are very popular in today's modern kitchens because they provide a perfect match to commercial-styled appliances. And, many of the latest models are available in innovative shapes that allow homeowners to customize a sink configuration. Stainless sinks offer many benefits including resistance to chipping, cracking or peeling. They are available in both undermount and topmount ( drop-in ) models. |
Granite Composite Sinks The most scratch resistant sink material on the market today. Already popular in Europe. Granite composite sinks are about 80 percent granite and 20 percent acrylic resin. The combination of granite and acrylic makes for an extremely durable material and surface, beating out quartz composite for strength and scratch resistance. Since granite-based sinks are only available in matte finishes, consumers who prefer a glossy look should explore other options. They are available in both undermount and topmount ( drop-in ) models. |

Porcelain Sinks Porcelain is the hardest clay material in the market. The ceramic material is heated in a kiln at an extreme temperature, causing the clay to become less dense and porous. Porcelain is very strong and hard. Visually, the material is translucent and elegant. Porcelain is tough in durability, and soft in visual appearance. |
