Granite Composite Sink Vs. Stainless Steel

Composite sinks are more stylish than the stainless steel sink. They can resist scratches, stains and heat. But they are not indestructible to these elements. Granite sinks are defenseless against chipping around corners. Over time, this type of sink may crack. That means they are more fragile than the stainless steel kitchen sink.

On the other hand, stainless steel sinks are less prone to stains and withstand high temperatures.

When it comes to price, solid granite sinks are more expensive than stainless steel counterparts.
