Quartz Composite or Granite Composite for a Sink

No longer limited by the traditional choices of stainless steel, porcelain or cast iron, homeowners who choose composite sinks enjoy benefits such as durability,

variety and aesthetic qualities similar to natural stone. Choosing between quartz composite or granite composite for a remodeling or construction project depends

upon your specific taste, needs and lifestyle.

Quartz Sinks: PROS and CONS

Quartz is a strong, resilient material that has become all the more popular over the years. While quartz kitchen sinks look just as stunning as natural stone,

they are lower maintenance than granite or marble.

Quartz Kitchen Sinks: The PROS

Durability:A quartz sink is long-lasting and strong, and it holds up well against scratches and chipping.

Hygienic：Quartz won’t harbor any odors or bacteria, making it family and child safe. 

Versatility: Quartz composite comes in a variety of beautiful colors

Affordability : Depending on your choice, certain quartz options are cheaper to purchase and install in your home. This engineered product also doesn’t

need to be sealed, which lowers costs in the long run.

Quartz Kitchen Sinks: The CONS

Unforgiving on breakables :you’ll have to be mindful and avoid dropping any glass, crystal, or fine china.

Limited styles : quartz sinks are not available in different pattern variations or glossy finishes due to their composite material makeup.

Granite Sinks: PROS and CONS

Much like quartz composite, granite composite sinks have their own advantages and drawbacks

Granite Kitchen Sinks: The PROS

Versatility: Like the quartz composite sink, granite composite sinks come in many colors

Consistency: Though natural granite comes in many pattern variations, you’ll get a beautiful matte finish of uniform color with composite granite. 

Affordability:Composite granite sinks tend to be much more affordable

Granite Kitchen Sinks: The CONS

Unforgiving on breakables: granite composite sinks can be harsh on breakables like glass and crystal

Uniformity: Though this can be a benefit for some, others might long for the pattern variations of granite in its natural form. Unfortunately, this won’t

be achievable with composite granite. 

Affordability: Though you’re paying for quality, a granite composite sink will exceed the price of stainless steel sinks.
