Design Notes
The kitchen sink is probably one of the most important elements in the kitchen, since it’s where we wash dishes, rinse food, and wash our hands. There are so many options, such as stainless steel, porcelain, and ceramic. Then, of course, there are multiple styles and sizes. At Greenbrook, we are always looking for new items that will meet a need for our clients, and sinks definitely are one of them, which is why we are an authorized dealer for the Karran Sinks.
What Is A Karran Sink?
Based in the USA, Karran is one of the leading manufacturers of sinks and faucets for the kitchen and bathroom. Their goal is to create a sink that is not only durable but also suitable for any design or layout. They are one of the first companies to manufacture acrylic sinks, ones that can be seamlessly undermounted to solid surfaces.
What Are The Benefits?
These sinks are built to last and backed by a company that cares about quality. Another interesting feature of the Karran sinks is the sound-deadening padding located underneath and on all four sides of their stainless steel bowl. This means that when something drops, it doesn’t ring in your ear like the typical stainless steel sink.
Their sink line is also heat resistant up to 530 degrees F, meaning that Karran sinks won’t crack under pressure. Plus, they are easy to clean, which is a huge advantage on its own since no one likes scrubbing the kitchen sink.
What Are Your Options?
They offer four different material choices:
- Stainless steel: This is a great option for a more modern design or for multiple uses. They also offer a workstation in this material.
- Acrylic: These sinks, when taken care of, have a beautiful shine and are durable.
- Quartz composite: This is a mix of quartz and acrylic, making it less likely to crack.
- Vitreous china: This option is only available for their bathroom line and is a ceramic sink that has an enamel coating.
These materials come in multiple styles that will reflect your unique design. You can browse their full line here.
