Be wise while selecting the kitchen sink material. Think about the use (intense, mild, or light) and how often you can clean it. Listed below are some of the more popular kitchen sink types in terms of materials. Go through the pros and cons of each and make an informed decision!

Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks

Stainless steel is the most common and popular material used for kitchen sinks worldwide. Stainless steel sinks are lightweight, easy to maintain, durable, and ideal if you are working on a low budget. Topmount, flush-mount, and undermount options are readily available for stainless steel kitchen sinks. However, do note, the best quality stainless steel sinks can cost more than other materials, while very cheap ones can dent easily if something heavy is dropped in the sink. Stainless steel sinks make a lot of noise and show water drops. 

Granite Kitchen Sinks

In trend, these days are granite composite sinks that are available in a wide range of styles, sizes, mounts, and colors. They are strong, resistant to heat, scratches, and stains, but are more expensive than stainless steel sinks and require careful maintenance. Also, as they are heavy, they need sturdier countertop to be mounted in.

Ceramic Kitchen Sinks

In your hunt for the best kitchen sink, do look at the ceramic options. Ceramic sinks are preferred for traditional kitchens due to their long lifespan. They are the easiest to maintain, extremely resistant to stain and heat. However, they are also the most expensive option, available in minimal variations and cumbersome to mount, hence needing a sturdy countertop.
