Hi Caitlin, we went with the Schock sink and havent regretted it. It still looks as good as when it was installed and we have enjoyed using it. The corners are easy to clean it has stood up well to daily use. I am careful (but not afraid) of pouring boiling water into it based on some comments found online and generally try and aim for the drain hole but absolutely no issues so far. Hope you enjoy your new kitchen!

ksangus there is a big difference in the two colours. We assume your black is streaking, fingerprinting and looking patchy... .This happen with all quartz no matter the brand. Caesarstone jet black, night sky and especailly vanilla noir do exactly the same. In fact Vanilla Noir is nortorious for chemically etching from anything caustic especially glass cleaner etc Use the correct cleaning products and you will love it as much as your white colored quartz Stone & Quartz Care, Cleaning Essentials We also suggest you view our cleaning videos to make life easier to care for them

Hi there, Depending how many tiles you have, a feature wall would be a great use for polished granite, particularly behind the vanity & mirror. With the right lighting it will have the opposite effect of small & gloomy = spacious, chic and sophisticated. Also the size of the tile can contribute to that "small" feeling but 305mm sq is large enough not to. Keeping them on the walls will also help your budget as not needing to apply a non-slip coating. If you're able to have your vanity 'floating' then continue the black all the way down which will have a great effect on the space too. Hope this helps James. Kind Regards, Carol

I've had black composite granite sinks and laundry tubs in two houses - the first for six years and this one for nearly 9 years. No problems at all. I love them. We are moving to a house that has s/steel and they will be replaced. I find the black granite so easy to clean, durable, and nice to look at. I don't know that I'd opt for white, given that I'm a lazy cleaner and I'd worry about discolouration. BTW. I bought mine on eBay, quite cheaply. Not the expensive brand name ones. They've had plenty of hot water poured into them, both from a saucepan and when washing up - as we don't use the dishwasher much, and I like the dish water hotter than hot!
