Granite composite sinks are made from crushed stone and resin, and they have become a popular kitchen choice. They are durable and quiet, and they have their own plumbing considerations.

The composite resists scratches and heat and dampens the sound of water and dishes, and it hides water spots well.
The weight
These sinks are heavy, so the counter and the cabinet need proper support, especially for an undermount install.
The drain
The standard drain assembly fits, but the mounting and sealing must match the sink's thicker material.
The care
The finish is low-maintenance, though harsh abrasives can dull it. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older buildings have aging supply and drain lines In Albany, it is a favorite in modern kitchens.
The quiet
The composite material damps the sound of running water and clattering dishes, which is a real plus in an open kitchen.
