Granite Sinks VS Granite Composite Sinks
It’s easy to guess that a granite sink is made of the material of granite and a composite granite sink is made of the material of composite granite. Before talking about these two kinds of sinks, let’s get to know the two types of raw materials-granite and composite first.
What is the material of granite？
Granites are coarse-grained intrusive igneous rocks composed mostly of plagioclase, alkali feldspar, and quartz. They are formed from silica-rich magmas and are widely distributed throughout the continental crust.
Granites are common materials used for buildings, both in modern times and ancient times. In ancient times, people from numerous countries built houses using granite. For example, the famous ancient relic, the Red Pyramid of Egypt, was constructed of limestone and granite blocks. And granites are still used for buildings and engineering in contemporary times.
What is the material of granite composite?
Composite granite is made by mixing natural stones and resin. Usually, it’s a mixture of 95% natural stones and 5% resin.
What are the distinctions between granite and granite composite sinks?
Granite sinks and granite composite sinks have some advantages in common. Both types of sinks are heat-resistant and resistant to scratching, stains, etc. Whereas, granite sinks have some drawbacks compared with granite composite sinks.
For example, granite sinks are:
1. Super heavy. Granite sinks are very heavy, which makes it difficult to install. Generally speaking, the installation of a granite sink can’t be finished by one person.
2. Prone to clipping.
3. More expensive.
While granite composite sinks are:
1. Light-weighted. Granite composite sinks are lighter than real granite sinks.
2. More diverse in appearance. Granite composite sinks can come in various colors and shapes, meeting different needs in decoration.
3. Less expensive. A granite composite sink usually costs less than a natural granite sink.
Overall, a granite composite sink is a good choice for a kitchen.
