As a resilient surface that has been used for thousands of years,
you probably wouldn't be surprised to find granite being used as
a sink. Yes, for a truly seamless look, a granite sink is a great
way to compliment a granite countertop. Granite is one of the
densest and durable stones found on the planet and its super
hard surface can certainly handle anything that comes its way.
Probably one of the most appealing qualities of a granite sink
is that there is no limit in terms of the size. It can be easily
fabricated to your precise measurements. This truly custom effect only adds to the draw of granite sinks.
Another great aspect of granite countertops is that they are completely natural. If you seek an natural look, or if your kitchen layout is entails an open, airy setting that incorporates or juts into your back yard, granites makes for an especially apropos sink material.
Consider This
When cleaning your granite sink, you needn't use expensive cleaners. However, it's definitely a good idea to stay away from abrasive or acidic detergents when doing the dishes and pots. Regular, mind dishwashing soap should be okay.
If you're purchasing a granite countertop and would also like a sink to go with it, you can save a significant amount of money off your project by asking the stone fabricator if they can create your sink from the extra material left over from the slab used for your countertop. If there is enough material, your savings may be in the thousands.
