FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Which kitchen sink model is best in India?
A large single-bowl 304 stainless steel sink suits most Indian kitchens. Quartz is a good premium option.
Are handmade sinks worth it?
They're thicker and look sharper, but cost more. A good pressed steel sink also lasts well.
Do quartz sinks stain?
Light colours can show marks over time. Darker quartz sinks hide stains better.
What is a workstation sink?
