Sinking - Utopia - 03.2008

Kitchen sinks you'll want to shout about!

Perhaps the most frequently used appliance in the kitchen, and always on display, the sink is one of the most important areas in kitchen planning. With so many styles, shapes and materials to choose from, the options can be dazing. While size and shape is mostly determined by spatial considerations and personal preference, it is the choice of material that often proves to be the most difficult decision to make.

There are now more options than ever in the material stakes, as traditional ceramic and stainless steel varieties remain popular. Yet there is a rising demand for other more recently developed materials such as Du Pont Corian and LG Hl MACS® from which sinks can be seamlessly integrated into your work surface. Copper and granite are also soaring in popularity due to their functional and attractive qualities. Utopia has done the hard work for you and rounded up some of the best kitchen sinks out there, taking a peek at future trends and examining the benefits of the materials used •••

“The formable properties of LG Hl MACS® for creating complex designs are amazing, including the ability to colour-match sinks to worktops as the material allows joints with a full seamless effect to be made. It also has the added bonus of being a particularly hygienic surface, because it is seamless and there are few areas for dirt to build up into”.
