I have been looking into composite granite sinks but not sure which brand is best. Options are Abey Schock (some reviews say they crack), Blanco, Oliveri or Franke. Does anyone have experience with these brands?

Hi Jay j, I still stand by this so if you are reading reviews with people reporting their own negative experiences (not hear-say), make sure they are also specifying a brand and model to check they are talking about reconstituted stone (granite) sinks and not Acrylic. Knowing the brand they are reviewing you can check from the manufacturer what they are made from as well as check the manufacturers warranty and their own assurances given about performance. When you go through reviews, it is a good idea to make sure that people are actually talking about Granite Sinks, which are made of the same type of material as Reconstituted Stone benchtops are made of, and they are not talking about coloured Solid Surface sinks made from Acrylic which do have these problems listed. Some people confuse the two. Modern Granite Sinks do not tend to have the staining, chipping, and cracking problems that are inherent with Acrylic Sinks. Some people mistakenly think the Acrylic sinks that were popular in the 1980s and 90s, plus still used in today Acrylic Solid Surface benchtops are the same material as today’s Granite sinks; but they are totally different. Hope this still helps. Regards, Malcolm

I am really confused about installing granite floor on the ground floor of my new house. apart from having living on the ground floor we also have a guest bedroom. we are planning to install infloor heating.

Hi all, can anyone who has a granite composite sink comment on the pros and cons of this? We are looking at the Oliveri Santorini double bowl under mount in white (80% granite and quartz 20% acrylic). Does it stain? Do glasses easily break if knocked over in the sink? Is it hard to clean? Cheers!
