Latest Designs of Stone Sinks (Like Granite) – A Luxury Choice for Modern Kitchens
The idea of stone sinks emerged when designers began searching for new colors and patterns to make better their projects. Until just a few years ago, most kitchens and bathrooms featured stainless-steel or ceramic (porcelain) sinks. But over time, stone sinks—thanks to their natural beauty, durability, and solid structure—have become one of the most popular and modern choices in sink design.
As stone sinks entered the market, many questions came to buyers’ minds. Below are some of the most common:
- Are stone sinks actually a good idea?
It completely depends on usage, practicality, and the taste of the designer or buyer.
For convenience and cleaning, stainless-steel sinks are easier to handle. But in terms of beauty, stone sinks are far more attractive.
That’s why we recommend using both:
Use a steel sink for heavy, greasy dishes, and install the stone sink in the main visible area where guests can appreciate its beauty.
- What types of stone are best for sinks?
Stones with high density and low-water absorption are the ideal choice.
The fewer calcite veins present, the higher the quality.
white marbles (like Sirjan marble), granites, and strong marbles are excellent options.
In today’s market, granite sinks are considered the best and most reliable.
- Are stone sinks suitable for washing dishes?
Greasy dishes require semi-acidic detergents, which can slowly affect the stone’s surface over time.
Therefore, for heavy or oily dishes, it’s better to use a sink protector or wash them in a steel sink.
- Do detergents affect stone sinks?
- Acidic cleaners (like bleach): immediately dull the surface.
- Mild detergents: don’t cause instant effects but gradually make the surface matte.
The good news is that stone sinks can be re-polished to restore their original shine.
- Do grease and dish residue damage stone sinks?
Depending on the stone, oil can absorb into the surface, requiring cleaning products—which themselves can affect the stone over time.
For this reason, using a sink protector and applying waterproofing products periodically is recommended.
- Practical use of stone sinks in kitchens
Stone sinks are mainly decorative.
They are perfect for light washing—like glasses or fruit plates.
In luxury kitchen designs, stone sinks add a striking and great visual effect.
- Durability of stone sinks
As long as non-acidic detergents are used and the surface is occasionally waterproofed, there is no limitation on durability.
- Is marble suitable for sinks?
Yes—if the marble has minimal calcite veins.
For best results, always keep the surface waterproofed.
- Are granite sinks a good option?
Granite is one of the strongest natural stones, and some types are highly resistant even to acidic cleaners.
This is why black granite sinks are extremely popular.
However, because granite is very hard, CNC cutting may be more difficult.
- Should the sink be level with the countertop?
A fully integrated sink surface is harder and more expensive to produce, but the advantage is that water flows directly from the countertop into the sink.
Whether to keep the sink flush or raised depends entirely on the designer’s preference.
- How to seal a stone sink?
With special sealants (aquarium silicone or stone adhesive), sealing is easy.
The only important factor is a firm installation—any movement of the sink can break the seal.
- Available colors in stone sinks
Stone sinks are produced in a variety of colors: marble, dolomite (white stones), travertine, and granite.
Today, light-colored models and black granite sinks are in highest demand.
- What designs are available?
There are no limitations.
CNC machines can produce any sink shape imaginable—and some are fully handcrafted.
This design freedom has increased online sales and custom orders significantly.
- Which lasts longer—stone or steel?
Stainless steel is anti-scratch, anti-rust, and undeniably more durable.
But stone has natural strength and has always symbolized endurance.
Since stone is a natural material with unlimited existence in nature, it remains an everlasting choice—though it may get dirty or lose shine over time.
