What is the best material for a kitchen sink?

Just as it is not possible to unambiguously establish what is the best forma for a kitchen sink, it is not possible to answer the question what is the best material for a kitchen sink. The answer, in fact, depends on the particular needs of the purchaser, from the investment budget, from style you want to give to the environment.

Kitchen sinks are used daily for a large number of activities and need to be strong and durable over time. The first selection criterion we must follow is precisely this: strength, robustness, durability. Evaluate which of all the materials performs best against these parameters.

If we wanted to briefly summarise the characteristics of the main materials, steel and ceramic.

  1. Stainless steelHygienic, easy to clean, fairly inexpensive, sensitive to shocks, not particularly heat-resistant.
  2. Ceramicseasy to clean and resistant to heat, scratches and stains, but may chip with impact.
