The granite kitchen sink has long been a top
choice among both professional kitchen designers and do-it-yourself
homeowners, and with good reasons. Granite kitchen sinks offer many
advantages. For many homeowners and decorators, the biggest selling
point is appearance, as granite is as beautiful, natural-looking
material.
However, the practical advantages of granite are
quite formidable as well. A Granite kitchen sink is lovely to look at,
pleasant to live with, and relatively easy to maintain, which accounts
for the enduring popularity of this design element.
A granite kitchen sink goes well with today's
decorating trends. Since the sink is often the most used area in your
kitchen you want to select the right material. We all spend hours at
the sink, washing, preparing and cleaning up, so it's worth spending
money on to get a durable, attractive sink. Granite goes with many
other materials from wood and stone surfaces to stainless appliances,
so a granite sink offers a sophisticated and practical choice.
Another advantage to choosing a granite kitchen
sink is that when it is recessed into a granite countertop, its
understated and subtle style makes it blend beautifully. A granite sink
and countertop make a nearly seamless presentation that can help give
your kitchen a feeling of order and peace at its core. Granite kitchen
sinks can be made to any size, accommodating your design
specifications, so you can choose your own level and depth and you may
not be required to stick with specific sink sizes that the manufacturer
offers. Granite sinks come in a variety of colors, in matte finishes
that are the epitome of sophisticated design.
Granite kitchen sinks can be made to fit whatever
accessories you choose. It can be made large enough to fit whatever
faucet you select and whatever size draining racks you may want to
employ. You can size it to fit cutting boards, colanders, or whatever
other tools are at the heart of your kitchen repertoire. This can make
a granite kitchen sink blend as gracefully into your cooking routine as
it does into your countertop.
Granite kitchen sinks are made of very durable
granite composite and generally hold up extremely well. Granite is heat
resistant and is not affected by changes in temperature. Granite is
non-porous and will resist most stains, even coffee and wine. The
biggest drawback of a granite kitchen sink is the potential for chips
to occur around the edges at the exposed corners. The good news is that
epoxy grout and granite dust can be used to repair any damage and fill
small chips in edges if these vulnerable areas of your sink ever take a
beating. (cn-stonenet.com)
