Kitchen sink guide

There are a wide range kitchen sinks available on the market including inset kitchen sinks, sit on kitchen sinks and undermount kitchen sinks all available in a variety of materials including ceramic. Ceramic kitchen sinks are finished in a high gloss fired ceramic which are durable and hard wearing ideal for both modern and traditionally styled kitchens. The most iconic ceramic sink is the traditional Belfast Sink, also referred to as a Butler sinks the Belfast first appeared during the Victorians. The Belfast sink is a large rectangular sink with a rounded rim that is set into the work surface. As well as the traditional ceramic Belfast sink there are also modern stainless steel Belfast sinks.
Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks are ideal for kitchens as stainless steel is highly resistant to staining and corrosion making them long last. This is due to the minimum 10.5% Chromium content of the steel which provides an air and water proof layer that helps maintain the lustrous appearance of stainless steel providing a clean and hygienic looking kitchen.
For more modern kitchens there are a wide range of Composite Kitchen Sinks which give a striking and contemporary look to a kitchen. Composite kitchen sinks are made from composite materials which are either man made or naturally occurring materials made from two or more constituent materials. As Composite materials are made from a mixture of constituent materials it makes it easier to form them into any shape in one solid piece making them strong and durable. Many kitchen sink manufacturers combine metallic particles to granite during the manufacturing process which gives a granite sink a more striking and appealing look.
As well as composites there are Granite Kitchen Sinks available which are hardwearing and robust ideal for kitchens. Granite is the fourth hardest natural material known to man and is highly resistant to impacts, scratches, stains, most household cleaning products, colour fading and temperatures up to 280°C. All these properties make granite a practical material for kitchen sinks and work surfaces and also makes a striking statement in any kitchen.
