Granite sinks are considered the pinnacle of high-end kitchen sinks. Granite is a hard and durable natural stone, often used in luxurious kitchen sinks. Granite sinks offer excellent scratch and stain resistance and are aesthetically pleasing.

One of the greatest advantages of composite quartz sinks is their excellent wear resistance. Quartz itself is an extremely hard mineral with a high hardness, so the surface of composite quartz sinks is generally highly scratch-resistant. They can withstand the abrasion of most kitchen utensils (such as cutlery, knives, and pots).

Stainless steel sinks are one of the most common materials for undercounter sinks and are widely used in home and commercial kitchens. Due to their durability and easy cleaning, stainless steel sinks have become an indispensable part of the kitchen.

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.

Stainless steel sinks are the most common type of kitchen sink on the market. They are durable, affordable, and easy to install. They are the first choice for many home and commercial kitchens. Although stainless steel sinks have many advantages, their maintenance costs are relatively low.

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.

When pouring boiling water into the sink, avoid pouring a large amount of boiling water at one time, especially when the temperature difference is large. The boiling water can be properly cooled to about 80℃ before pouring it into the sink to reduce the damage caused by temperature changes.

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.
