Top 5 Kitchen Sink Materials

Are you looking for a new kitchen sink? Not quite sure which material to use? Don’t stress, here are the top 5 materials of 2017.

Acrylic

Acrylic sinks have been extremely popular in recent times due to their sophistication and minimalist aesthetic. They can be seamlessly integrated into acrylic benchtops – a feat that cannot be achieved with any other type of sink material. Acrylic is repairable so that shouldn’t pose an issue, however, it can be cracked by boiling water. To prevent this from being an issue, it’s a good idea to avoid instant boiling taps.

Enamel Cast Iron

Cast iron sinks are made from the same durable material as cast iron cookware, however, they are coated with porcelain enamel. They are often featured in vintage, farmhouse style homes. They are extremely durable and won’t crack or dent. However, enamel coated cast iron is susceptible to staining.

Granite

Granite is a popular choice amongst home renovators and designers alike. It has a timeless, elegant appearance, making it well suited to various different kitchen styles. Granite has a non-porous texture which is fantastic as it results in high hygiene ratings. It is also heat and impact resistant, making it a perfect choice for all your cooking and washing up needs.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is the material of choice for many commercial and residential kitchen sinks. It is non-porous, hygienic and easily customisable to suit your home’s design and style. As stainless steel is such a popular kitchen sink material, there are options on the market to suit any taste or budget.

Tectonite

Never heard of tectonite? Well, it’s probably because it’s so new to the market. Tectonite has many similarities to the well-loved granite, however, it is lighter with higher UV resistance. It’s a great choice for a kitchen sink as it suits contemporary design, withstands high temperatures and is 100% recyclable.
