Kitchen Sinks and Taps Guide

Sinks and taps get the highest level of damage and wear in your kitchen so be careful to consider what you want it to do aswell as how stylish it needs to be. Stainless steel is still the most popular choice for its wear characteristics. A popular coloured choice is quartz impregnated acrylic type sinks that are hard wearing and built to last. Coloured sinks are prone to looking unsightly unless stains are actively removed with recommended cleaners. Ceramic sinks are very hard but unsightly when scratched with saucepans and stained, so please read the options below and check the company info on cleaning and maintenance of your choice.

Sit on sinks

Sit on sinks are rarely used in up to date kitchens. Modern adaptations of this style are now being used in corner sink options in stainless or composite. There are some workstation ideas also being developed.

Recessed sinks

The most popular option with many hundreds of choices of size and shape. Franke are still hard to beat for choice and quality.

Undermount sinks

These are made to be mounted under solid tops and not laminate. Avalable in stainless, composite and ceramic. Kholer is one to look at.

Composite sinks

Normally a mixture of acrylic, stone dust and quartz. Very hard and available in colours. Available as undermount, inset or sit on corner. Can discolour and appear shabby unless cleaned regularly.

Stainless sinks

Stainless steel sinks are the back bone of most ranges. There has been a return from lower grade coloured sink options to stainless steel and it has taken a while for confidence to return, so I find this option very popular in brushed finish.

Ceramic sinks

Can be found in traditional belfast style or more contemporary inset or undermount. Also available in gloss or matt in some ranges

Enamel sinks

Probably more limited interest but still is a good hardwearing option in colours.

Corner type sinks

There are various ways that companies provide corner sinks by either being angled across the corner or bent round in an L shape

Stone sinks

Real stone sinks are quite unusual and can be expensive. the uniqueness of each sink is what adds excitement to this option , but choice of design and styles are still limited. Another interesting option is coloured concrete which has developed into a viable sink option.

Corian sinks

Corian sinks are made to be integrated into their worktops and are available in Corian colours. The seamless look is an elegant and probably more modern look even though it is often used in traditional schemes.

Accessories

Accessories for sinks are available individually or as kits. Chopping boards, cutlery inserts and plate racks are typical, in various materials to sit into sink bowls or on them.
