Sinks are a central element of the kitchen, so choosing the right material is all the more important. Stone sinks have recently gained in popularity due to advancements in technology allowing them to be more thoroughly sealed against moisture. Stone’s scratch and stain-resistant properties, along with its raw, natural look, make it an ideal candidate for your kitchen sink. While granite, quartz, and marble can be used for sinks, corian has recently become a very popular choice. As they are lighter than natural stone and come in the widest variety of colours, corian sinks are the current go-to stone sinks. At Stone & Building, you can be sure that our sink materials are top quality.
Due to the fact that most types of stone are hard and heavy, it’s important to keep in mind that they’re a difficult material to work with when it comes to carving something as intricate as a bathroom sink. Rectangular sinks are relatively easy to craft, but if you’re looking for something oval or circular, they’re only available on request, as the process of shaping stone into that shape is very time-consuming.
