Granite sinks and stainless steel sinks have become customary choices for kitchens and bathrooms for homeowners. Both types of sink materials have visual appeal and durability that many other sink materials cannot match. Moreover the availability of stainless steel and granite sinks is easy and can be found at almost any hardware store. Here are some points to compare both type of sinks in the form of usability and versatility in the kitchens.
Appearance
Granite is more appealing in appearance than a stainless steel sink and since most of the people prefer to have granite kitchen worktops, granite sinks match well with them. Though granite sinks have much distinguishing looks than stainless steel, but we can say that stainless steel sinks have more versatility to go with almost any type of decor.
Cost
No doubt, stainless steel sinks are cheaper than granite sinks, as granite sinks are made from natural granite. But granite composite sinks, which include synthetic materials, are a more affordable alternative to pure granite sinks.
Durability
Stainless steel and granite sinks offer extreme durability; they can withstand hard impacts and resist scratches. However, granite sinks do occasionally chip, particularly around the corners.
Cleaning
Due to their angled corners, granite sinks are more difficult to clean than stainless steel sinks, which have a smooth, simple surface and design.
