How to Choose the Right Black Sink – What to Look For

Black sinks are available in various materials, but which one is the most durable? This is a question we receive from our customers daily. To help you make the right decision, here’s an overview of the durability of different black sinks.

1. Granite and Quartz Sinks

Granite and quartz black sinks take the top spot on our list. These sinks are made by pouring crushed stone into a mold with glue and then hardening it into a beautiful, durable sink. However, be cautious with some brands, as the color may not be entirely black and might contain glitter or white speckles. Brands like Franke, Reginox, Lorreine, and Caressi fall into this category. If you’re looking for a completely black sink, we recommend the GraniteMy, which is fully black without any color variations. Granite and quartz black sinks are black throughout, without an additional coating, ensuring they won't peel off over time.

2. PVD Sinks

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) sinks come in second place in terms of durability. PVD is a very tough coating, often used for cutlery and other items. While highly durable, PVD sinks tend to be more expensive, and their color is not completely black, with slight nuances.

3. Enamel Sinks

Enamel sinks are made of stainless steel or steel coated with enamel. Enamel is very hard and scratch-resistant, making the sink resistant to damage. The downside is that the color is glossy rather than completely matte.

4. Coated Black Sinks

Last on the list are coated black sinks. These sinks have a thin, fragile coating, which can wear off over time. If you choose this type of sink, we recommend placing a protective mat at the bottom to prolong its lifespan and prevent the coating from wearing away.

Conclusion

When selecting a black sink, it all comes down to your preferences for durability and aesthetics. If you’re looking for a long-lasting, truly black sink, granite and quartz sinks are the best option. For high-quality and unique solutions, PVD sinks are a great choice. Whatever you decide, make sure the sink fits your needs and enhances the style and longevity of your kitchen.
