Fireclay Sinks
These are perhaps the most durable type of kitchen sinks available at this time. Their manufacturing is such that they become very hard and it is very difficult to damage them. Some vendors say that the fireclay sinks are harder and far more durable than the cast iron sinks. It does not mean that they are completely indestructible. If you hit them hard or drop a very heavy and hard thing on them, they too can break. To create these sinks, first of all the ceramic is molded in such a way that it takes the shape of sink. Then the ceramic is dried at a very high temperature. Sometimes the drying and heating step may take more than 2 days. Once the ceramic has dried completely, an enamel coating is put over it. The enamel also needs to be heated at high temperature for over 24 hours. The problem with these sinks is that they are heavy and they are expensive. They can cost as high as £500.

Stainless steel is also a good choice
Why do people buy stainless steel sinks? People buy things which are value for money. How is something value for money? When you buy something which is durable and you can keep using it for years but it is also not very costly it is value for money. This is exactly the case with the stainless steel sinks. Most of the middle class houses have the stainless steel sinks because they are cost effective. Since they are durable, you will buy it once and you will not need to worry about it for a long time. One big problem with stainless steel is that it looks good only when it is new. No matter how much time you spend on the upkeep of this sink, it will get scratches and it will also lose the shine after some time. There is another problem though. These sinks are the noisiest sinks available. Since they are metallic, they make more noise. Although the modern kitchen sink makers are trying hard to reduce the noise level, but there is still some level of noise. To buy stainless steel sinks, you can go to Schock Sinks.
Kitchen sinks according to number of bowls
When we talk about bowl, we are talking about the style and design of the sink and not the material. The two most common types of sinks according to their design are single bowl and double bowl sinks. You can easily make out from the name that single bowl sinks have single basin and double bowl sinks have double basin. Double bowl sinks are not good for kitchens were only a small sink can be installed. Due to double bowls, the limited space will get divided and large utensils will not fit in. It is easier to clean a single bowl sink because of the lesser number of edges. You can buy single and double bowl kitchen sinks with Schock Sinks.
