Hello

I'm going around in circles trying to find a new kitchen sink. We want a white one, ideally a more modern look like granite or composite than ceramic. When reading about Franke and peers composite sinks I read a lot of reviews suggesting they feel cheap and plasticky.

So...

1) What kitchen sink brands are people preferring these days (for quality not price)

2) of the granite or composite materials, any in particular feeling better/looking cleaner for longer than others?

Thanks!
 
Carron phoenix are a good brand, I've recently fitted a black granite Franke composite sink in my own kitchen which is performing well . Kop

Thanks all. Went and had a feel of a few at showrooms. Although some of the franke ones do feel like plastic tubs I came away comfortable that they where engineered properly (otherwise there would be so many complaints product would have been withdrawn)

Hi I have a sink that has the basin plus another smaller basin next to it, think it is a 1/4 of the size of the main basin. The unit comes up through one hole, has 2 taps that turn and the unit can swivel to go to either basin. The taps have 4 prongs that can be turned (sorry not technical)...
