Kraus KGD-54GREY Forteza Granite Kitchen Sink
Product Details
Let’s start this kitchen sink review with a super-duper Kraus granite sink. I am telling you people. There’s a reason we are starting off with this Kraus KGD-54GREY sink.
This sink will offer you pretty much everything you want in your composite granite kitchen sink. Okay enough exaggeration (not exaggerating at all!).
Kraus Forteza falls among the best quartz sinks for sure. Plenty of color options available including black and white. You are bound to find something that’ll make your kitchen glow. Also, it comes in different sizes too. Take the one that would fit into kitchen better.
Speaking of variations… I love the dual mounting offer with this sink. Not everyone has the same taste. So, you can either go for the drop-in design or undermount style if that’s what you are into.
Granite composite sinks are supposed to be durable, right? Well, I would like to see anyone bring up complaints about the durability of this Kraus kitchen sink. Highly durable as expected with resistant nature to impact, stains, scratch, etc. In addition, it has the capability of resisting heat up to 650 Fahrenheit.
Furthermore, Kraus will not fall prey to discoloration. And you can keep the sink in the sun for eternity because UV protection is ensured.
Need something that can hold plenty of dishes? Then you are sure to like the large and wide measurement of this sink. Besides, sound absorbing material is indeed used in this sink to minimize noise and vibration.
One issue with many quartz sink brands is not offering proper drainage. Kraus has a sloped bottom so that the water can glide away easily into the drain. Also, convenient curved corners make it easier for you to clean those tough spots.
Kraus KGD-54GREY comes with a single faucet hole with the advantage of four more knockout holes that are marked for easy drilling.

Ruvati RVG2033BK Granite Composite Kitchen Sink
Product Details
Ruvati RVG2033BK comes with the right kitchen sink features and provides plenty of quality. Not to mention that good look it is bound to put on your kitchen.
Some exquisite colors are on the offer with this granite kitchen sink like the Kraus KGD-54GREY. The midnight black and arctic white truly puts that gorgeous look that would wow anyone.
I bet you liked how resistant the Kraus kitchen sink was. Well, this Ruvati model is not much behind either. Most of the sink is constructed of composite granite that provides all the strength and durability to make it last a lifetime.
The surface of this sink has a proprietary treatment that helps to fight off the stains and stuff that come naturally overtime in cheaper kitchen sinks. Not this one I am sorry to say.
You don’t have to think twice about putting the hot pan down on the sink. The sink is capable of taking high temperatures. And even though it is less heat resistant than Kraus, resistant to a 536 degrees hot pan is something worth having.
Discolored kitchen sinks can put the worst look in your home. That is why this Ruvati sink is colored all the way so that you don’t have to complain later on.
A little bit smaller in size than Kraus but still offers a lot of room to clean all your dirty dishes. In addition, Ruvati also offers the convenience of having both undermount and drop-in installation.
9 inches bowl depth allows you to stack up tower of plates. And I am pretty satisfied with the drainage system. Sloped surface like Kraus and comes with the standard 3.5 inches drain opening so that the water leaves nice and easy.

Kraus KGD-442 Quarza Kitchen Sink
Product Details
Let’s give you another Kraus granite composite sink reviews. How about it? I am sure you have liked the previous ones. But, this Kraus KGD-442 is truly a fan favorite.
The topnotch features you find in other Kraus sinks are still available in this one too. But, it is pretty much the design that sets this apart from the rest.
This is another double bowl sink from Kraus. But, not like the 50/50 design as in the Kraus KGD-52Black. It gives you 60/40 double bowl design with a nice stylish divider. Really shows off in any kitchen. Both the bowls come with the standard drain opening.
Dual bowl and dual installation too on the offer for you. Whether you want a seamless appearance with the undermount design or easy installation with the drop-in design. You CAN do whichever suits you best.
It is not just the curved corners that make cleaning easy. But, the sink itself is super easy to clean with a simple wipe. And of course, the extra tough material is also used in this sink like the other Kraus models.
Sinks resistant to intense heat are a better choice in kitchen no doubt. You can keep hot pans in this sink without worrying about damaging. Moreover, UV stable material used so that the sink retains its original color for a long time.
Less noise ensured and hygienic material keeps liquid and food from sticking to the sink. Kraus also does not let dirt to stick. And the sloped surface allows superior drainage so that you don’t have to deal with leftover water drops.

Ruvati RVG1033BK Single Bowl Kitchen Sink
Product Details
Comparing this one to the other Ruvati sink, I think you are likely to favor the Ruvati RVG1033BK.
The spacious nature of this kitchen sink puts most sink behind the priority list. 33 x 22 inches is as good as it gets if you want a big sink. No need to keep dirty dishes on top of your beautiful counter and ruin the exquisite look of your kitchen. This sink can handle towers of dishes.
Another thing that was actually missing on the Ruvati RVG2033BK is the predrilled faucet hole. In fact, that sink does not come with any counter top for making holes. But, this Ruvati RVG1033BK offers you a single faucet hole to fit any standard one hole faucets.
The drain is situated on one end rather than in the center. That gives you the space to pile up unclean dishes without blocking drainage.
Umm it can’t be your best granite composite kitchen sink without resisting stains and hot temperature, right? Ruvati accomplishes both pretty well with resistance to high temperature over 500F. In addition, the surface is proprietary treated so that bacteria growth is significantly reduced.
The Ruvati granite sink comes with different colors among which the midnight black certainly stands out for me. You don’t need to worry about discoloration no matter which color you go with. It does offer the dual mounting methods. And so, cutout template and mounting clips for both type of installation is conveniently included with the sink.
With a lifetime warranty and a price tag worth its features, this Ruvati sink should never go out of your consideration.

Franke Gravity SGR3322-1 Kitchen Sink
Product Details
I hope that you liked the Blanco because there’s hardly another sink like it. Anyways, Franke Gravity kitchen sink falls rather on the expensive side of things. But, does it offer enough to find a place in your kitchen? We have your Franke granite sink reviews right here.
Well, can’t question the massive size it offers. You can clean more dishes and keep more items on the sink without feeling like you’ve got an endless traffic. Lengthy and greater width allows you to clean more things at once. In addition, the 9 inches depth of the bowl will come handy when you have a stack of dishes.
The other thing I liked with Franke is the superior material used and so the durability of this sink. Perhaps not quite on the level of Blanco but it serves its purpose for sure.
The hardest component (quartz) is used in this sink. Moreover, high quality acrylic resins ensure less damage and better cleaning experience for you. You know how tough those cheap kitchen sinks are to keep clean. It will also resist heat to an extent and will perform well enough against scratches and chips.
A large drain opening is situated at the center of the sink. Drains kind of okay even though the sloped surface is absent unlike in many Kraus kitchen sinks. You will find one predrilled faucet hole for installing any standard single hole faucet.
Speaking of installation… the sink itself offers you both undermount and topmount installation. It is up to you whichever look you wanna put on your kitchen.
Oh silly me! Can’t believe I almost forgot to mention the unique design of this sink. The design is almost like 60/40 double bowl sink. Of course, there’s no divider and you’ve indeed read a single bowl granite composite sink reviews.

Product Details

Let’s talk about the obvious thing first off. Two bowls are 60/40 with a nice curved design at the front. I do like the divider which is not entirely high. It is a low divider and allows better usage of both the bowls together.

Kraus KGU-434B Undermount Granite Kitchen Sink
Product Details
Here’s another good double bowl sink from another top kitchen sink brand. The Kraus KGU-434B is also a sink right up there when it comes to a granite composite sink.
Unlike the Blanco granite sink, Kraus comes with the drain assembly. Everything needed for installation is included with the sink so that you have less trouble. Basket strainer, cutout template, and even a kitchen towel are also included with the Kraus KGU-434B.
It doesn’t quite give you a range of colors to choose from like Blanco or Elkay Quartz sinks. Black and gray are the two options this sink is limited to. I say go for the black one. Doesn’t matter which one you pick the colors not gonna fade anyway.
The two bowls are 50/50 split. Kraus has the massive 32 inches length but a bit less width does reduce a bit of space which you find in the Blanco sink. Nonetheless, it offers a greater depth of 9.5 inches to stack up the dishes all you want.
Unfortunately, this too like the Blanco does not come with dual installation as found in the Kraus KGD series. But, I have to say that the undermount style will put that eye catching gorgeous look in your kitchen.
Well, regardless of how all the features rate in your scale, you cannot question the material and the quality in terms of durability. Quality granite material used so that the sink has high resistance against impact and thermal shock. Besides, it has the capability of resisting heat up to 650F.
Kraus ensures no hurting of the ears. Your eardrums will remain safe because this sink uses thick material to reduce the noise significantly.

Buying Guide: Things to Consider Before Picking Your Granite Kitchen Sink
Okay then… now you have read about 12 of the best granite composite sinks. You know the reviews are all great and can help you to a good product. But, how do you know which kitchen sink is the perfect one for you? I mean all the 12 sinks will not give you the same level of performance, right?
Made you a bit confused there? Don’t worry. We have the perfect guide for you right here so that you can judge which granite kitchen sink will suit your situation best.
There are certain things that elevate a kitchen sink’s quality. Knowing these things means that you can select the right sink for your kitchen.
Here are things you should look for when trying to buy a granite kitchen sink.
Durability
Let’s start with the obvious thing that puts granite sinks right up there. You simply cannot question the durability and resisting nature of a granite composite kitchen sink. Of course, not all granite sinks will give you that pitch perfect durability. So, you gotta stay sharp and know exactly what you are getting.
Best granite sinks are no doubt hard to break. Resistant to scratch, stains, chipping, and so much more. Also, most of these sinks are awesome at taking high temperatures. For example, the Kraus KGD-54GREY can resist temperature up to 650 degrees Fahrenheit.
Nothing to worry about the durability, right? Umm hold on now! Just because these sinks offer great durability does not mean you can start throwing steel chairs on them. You still need to do proper maintenance and keep the sink good as new.
So basically, what I am saying is that if you are gonna get a granite composite sink then you should go for the one with excellent durability features.
Size & Bowls
This is not an exception to getting a granite kitchen sink. You should always check out the size no matter which type of sink you’ve decided to buy.
Firstly, take the measurement of your cabinet size. Because there is something called minimum cabinet size which determines if the new sink will fit into your kitchen. Most manufacturers will tell you this minimum size.
Then of course comes the size of the sink itself. Get the right size depending upon your situation. Length and width ultimately depend upon the size of your cabinet. But, I will suggest that you get a good depth. More depth allows greater space to stack up all the dishes.
Kraus KGD-442 Quarza gives you all the depth you’d need.
Kitchen sinks come with either one or two bowls. Which one do you pick? Well, single bowl sinks will feel spacious and give you a better hand cleaning experience. But, double bowls allow ease of cleaning and soaking at the same time.
Regardless how many bowls you go for… the overall sink size pretty much remains the same. So, focus more on getting something deep.
Matching Colors
I just love how composite sinks offer plenty of options in terms of decorating your kitchen. Almost always, you will find these sinks coming in with plenty of different colors for you to choose from. Certainly adds the versatility your kitchen just might need.
You can look at the blanco granite sinks that offer exquisite looking colors. Both the single bowl and the double bowl one.
Anyways…
The good thing about granite composite sinks is that discoloration is a rare happening. UV-stable and a thorough coloring composite granite sink is what you wanna pick up from the market.
Furthermore, try to match the color with the other appliances in your kitchen. This way, you get to have the right sink and will allow your kitchen to look more exquisite than ever before.
Hygienic & Ease of Cleaning
Many kitchen sinks cannot handle all the foods and stuff. You’ll find plenty of cheap made sinks that end up only as a habitat to germs. But, the story’s totally different with a composite sink in your kitchen.
As you should have already seen in our granite composite sink reviews, most of these sinks come with hygienic material. That is why these sinks resist the growth of germs and bacteria. Yep. No doubt you gotta go for these.
Look for the non-porous sink surface. Sinks with such surface do not let the food and drinks to stick. As a result, you can remove the leftovers with ease. In addition, smooth and silky sinks provide the ease of cleaning too.
Installation
Kitchen sinks come with two ways of installing in general. Yeah everyone knows that. The undermount and drop-in or topmount. Granite sinks are no different.
If you wanna have that seamless gorgeous look in your kitchen then an undermount installation is the way to go. Of course, I will vouch for its difficulty in installing. But, trust me when I say that the look is all worth it.
Kraus KGU-434B and Blanco Anthracite are great undermount granite composite options for you.
Topmount or more commonly drop-in setup of sinks is more popular. Less pricey and easier to install. More importantly, if you ever have to replace the sink then a topmount design will make things easy for you. But, the sink’s rim sometimes does not go so well with your cabinet.
Many sinks will offer you the convenient of both installations.
Finally, another type is the apron front farmhouse. It provides a continuous look with your cabinet. At the end of day, the installation of farmhouse is a lot similar to the undermount. Kraus KGF1-30BLACK is our best granite composite farmhouse kitchen sink.
Noise, Vibration, and Drainage
It eventually gets to you hearing all the cling-cling sounds, right? Metals and stuff can easily drive your eardrums crazy if you have a lot to do.
Well, great news because most top kitchen sink brands nowadays uses sound dampening technology. As a result, the typical sink-pots sound is significantly reduced. A quiet home with a perfect sink is very much possible lol.
By the way, all our 12 granite composite sinks come with some sort of sound dampening tech.
For me, Kraus kitchen sinks simply offer the best drainage system. Drain positioned on the side is a better option than the ones with center drain. No blocking off the drain with pots and pans.
Sloped surface works wonder with sinks. Easily and quickly clears out all the water from the sink. In addition, some sinks like Blanco Silgranit sink come with water guidelines that direct water nicely into the drain.
Sinks that drain easily and fast are certainly less prone to water spots.
Predrilled Faucet Holes
Doesn’t quite impact the quality of any composite sinks whether it comes predrilled or not. But, it’s something you need to check for your own sake.
Sinks usually come with one or three holes. You can install the simple one hole faucets or go for the better looking three hole faucet.
Furthermore, some sinks come with what is called knockout holes. Basically, you have to make the drilling but they mark the positions where you are supposed to drill. As a result, you do not end up damaging anything on the inside.
