Perhaps the most significant advance in kitchen sink material in recent years has been the development of a granite composite. most of these compounds are 80 to 85% natural granite, mixed with a tough resin and result in forms with the hardness and resistance of natural stone.

It is virtually impossible to scratch these sinks and as you might expect they are able to withstand all household chemicals, including bleach.

Cleaning does not require a softly softly approach either. Granite colours go all the way through and a good scouring occasionally actually maintains the original appearance of the sink.

Colour choices abound with some featuring stone like textures and others of pure single solid colour. For many granite sink colours their are one or more tap models available that can be supplied in the same granite colour.

Styles range from the traditional Butler, Belfast types to modern angular designs and every style in between.

Colour choices are becoming more varied and one manufacturer has 16 colours options on many of their models (plan ahead for these, 12-16 weeks lead time).

Inset, undermount, sit on and overmount installation methods are all catered for which just about covers all the possible requirement you could have for a kitchen sink. All you have to do now is choose.
