Kitchen Sinks

When it comes to buying a new unit, either as a replacement kitchen sink or as a part of a lovely new re-design, the choices availabe to you today are huge. The design of units today are developed around how someone might use their space - so modern units and traditional unit choices have become much greater.

Modern Materials

In the past, sink materials used to be ceramic or stainless steel - 2 materials very well suited to sink manufacture because of their easy to clean and hygienic properties. Today, you can buy the following:

• Stainless Steel - Stainless steel sinks are made from chrome nickel steel, with an amazing smooth finish. Stainess Steel is resistant to staining, rust and corrosion with the added benefits that your sink will not chip or break.
• Granite
• Ceramic - Ceramic sinks are tough with a smooth gloss finish which stands up to even the harshest treatment
• Fragranite - Unique to the Franke brand, Fragranite Sinks contain 80% granite particles with performance characteristics similar to stainless steel. Fragranite is available in a wide range of great colours with stunning effects. Fragranite is incredibly hard-wearing, chip-and stain-resistant.
• Undermounted - Undermounted Sinks offer the a modern, sleek and ultra modern finish. Under Mount units look at their best when installed under granite, wood, marble or other solid surface worktops.

Sinks to suit your budget

The various sizes and materials available to you means prices vary greatly for domestic units and commercial units. Cheap kitchen sinks are usually found when a domestic unit is made from stainless steel. These compact units will have a single bowl design and be reversable for a left hand drainer or a right hand drainer situation. At the higher end of the price scale you will find belfast units and designer units with just that little bit better attention to detail.
