As a high-humidity, high-water flow environment, the area around the quartz kitchen sink is easily splashed by water. If the gap between the sink and the countertop is not properly filled, water and liquid may penetrate into the gap, affecting the material of the countertop.

Pros of quartz kitchen sinks: 1. Strong and durable 2. High temperature and corrosion resistance 3. Easy to clean and maintain 4. Beautiful and personalized design 5. Good antibacterial properties Cons of quartz kitchen sink: 1. Higher price 2. Heavy weight 3. Easy to have surface scratches 4. May fade

The sealing treatment of the connection between the quartz kitchen sink and the countertop is crucial. When installing the sink, sealant or silicone is usually used to fill the gap between the sink and the countertop to prevent water from leaking into the cabinet or other places.

The hardness of the quartz kitchen sink is relatively high, usually reaching a Mohs hardness of about 7. This means that it is harder than materials such as glass and ceramic, but quartz kitchen sinks may still be scratched when they collide with harder materials.

Quartz sinks are relatively more durable, especially in terms of scratch resistance and impact resistance. The durability of composite sinks depends on the material. Quartz composite sinks are more durable, but stainless steel composite sinks are slightly inferior in scratch resistance.

If the kitchen design tends to be modern and simple, and emphasizes the overall smoothness, installation below may be a better choice. If the kitchen decoration tends to be traditional, or if you like to highlight the design of the sink, installation above is more appropriate.

Although the surface of quartz sinks appears smooth and dense after treatment, there may still be fine pores and textures under the microscope. If the sink is exposed to substances with high pigment concentrations for a long time, such as red wine, coffee, soy sauce, etc., the pigment particles of these substances may be deposited in these tiny pores, forming stains.

Quartz sinks are more durable, especially in terms of scratch resistance and high temperature resistance. However, because quartz sinks are brittle, they are easily broken by impact. Stainless steel sinks usually have a longer service life due to their strong material and strong corrosion resistance. However, the surface of a stainless steel sink is susceptible to scratches, which may affect the appearance after long-term use, but will not affect its normal use.
