what material sink looks best with carrara marble style quartz?

7 years ago

We are installing a contemporary shaker-style kitchen in pale grey with carrara marble-style quartz. what material would you best recommend to go with this look? I can't decide between good old fashioned stainless steel or a resin based composite. I need it to be hard-wearing. Many thanks.

Hi

For carrara marble style I would probably recommend pearl grey or pebble grey - have a look at the images attached.

Another vote for Dekton and Sileston Quartz worktops, use them all the time in our projects as so much more forgiving and low maintenance than granite or marble. Agree that Corian is a good option if you have a large island to prevent visible joins, whilst it has other benefits you do need to be very careful when it comes to heat. Vast range of colours and textures in all types nowadays so the type of material shouldn't limit the effect you want to achieve - be that traditional or contemporary. I am always a big advocate that a worktop is an investment, there is no point spending a large sum on a beautiful quality kitchen and then finishing it off with a worktop that won't stand up to time as well as the rest of the room or cheapen the look - I always recommend to go for the best you can afford.

Hi Sam We regularly use leading brand Silestone in our kitchen designs as Quartz is a popular choice with many benefits. Silestone offer a 25 year warranty whereas Technistone only offer 10 years. Integrity sinks are also an option with Silestone which are seamless one piece Quartz sinks which blend into the worktops. They have quite a range of light shades including the lagoon and snowy Ibiza, it would be worth making a trip to take a look at all the colours. https://www.silestone.co.uk/colours/ https://www.silestone.co.uk/integrity-sinks/ https://www.silestone.co.uk/warranty/ Dekton is another product created by Cosentino, which has the added benefit of being completely heat resistant. They also have a good range of colours available in both polished and suede finishes. https://www.dekton.co.uk/what-is-dekton/ Good luck!

Wood will need sealing regularly, but it doesn’t take long to do. I use Osmo Top Oil on my kitchen oak worktop. Another option is granite, marble or quartz.

Hi Tani, I have an ikea kitchen. I wanted wood doors and nothing traditional and ikea did oak doors that I liked. What swung it for me was reading about how many architects use ikea. One thing I know is that they use very good designers, so their stuff tends to be 'clever'. You do have to construct the carcasses and some fitters don't like this. What is good is that the carcasses hang off a steel rail. This is attached to the wall and then all of the cupboards hang in a straight line and then the feet are adjusted at the front. My carpenter adjusted my units as he was fitting them, even reducing the depth at times, so the whole thing was bespoke. The other thing is that they are much bigger. They go much nearer to the floor and the kick plates are virtually invisible, this looks more contemporary. They are deeper to so you can't get a standard off the shelf worktop. I paid the same for the fitting as the cost of the units, in my opinion it's all about the fitting. Most carpenter use Howdens as they have accounts and it's familiar to them. I also saved money by using a thin layer of quartz over moisture resistant MDF (a bit like an engineered floor). Whole thing was 16K including removing a load bearing wall, plastering, electrics, kitchen everything.
