The Best Sink to Go With Granite Countertops

Now that you have a brand new granite countertop, the old sink looks odd and dull. The kitchen companies will have loads of advice. But all of us have some specifications. So before you buy the sink, you should think carefully. How do you want to use the sink? Although it sounds funny, but people have different requirements when they think of a sink. Some have dishwashers which can do half the job. In that case, you will not need a big sink.

Then there are others who will need a bigger sink, as most utensils and dishes are piled up in the sink itself. You can choose the designs according to your needs. Some will need the ½ bowl sink while others will go for the sleeker look. Then a sink with a drying board can be handy. Many have the habit of keeping the dishes on the drying board so that they can dry up all by themselves. If you have a solid kitchen top like a granite top, you can either buy the sit on sinks or the work surface sinks.

Other options include the butler sinks or the under-mounted sinks. A hole is created above the worktop to put the inset sink. Most inset sinks are fitted just over the edge. You have more than one cabinet; you will probably need more than one bowl. A large sink bowl will fit perfectly over the 500 mm cabinet. You can install the drainer just next to the dishwasher. If the bowl is larger, then you have to think of the measurement of the worktop and the number of granite slabs that you will need. Often it is seen that the worktop is shallow from front to back while the sink is large. In this case you will need extra slips and bars of granite so that the structure is strong enough to carry the weight of the sink.

You will have a number of sit on sinks in different price brackets. Often people think that a sensible option will not be particularly stylish which is not true. There are people who prefer an under-mounted sink with a granite countertop. This looks extremely neat as you will only have the push button, tap and filter tap over the counter. The worktop is cut and polished in such a manner so that the edge of the sink is smooth. Due to extra polish, you will have to spend a few extra bucks. If you want to include the tap hole and the draining grooves, your expenses will increase.

When you choose the size of the sit on sink, you will have to think of the base unit. If you have a tight budget, you can go for less expensive propositions like the Blanco Supreme 533-U. You can also install butler sinks or Belfast sinks with granite countertops. The cost of the sink will depend on the grooves which will be installed. All those who want to be different can actually think of the ceramic selection. Often you will find exclusive pieces with this collection.
