Year of use of the sink made of artificial stone
When choosing a kitchen for our country house, we immediately decided that our sink would be made of artificial stone. Its advantages are considered resistance to chemicals, as well as high impact resistance. In addition, we consider an important plus that such a sink does not make noise when water is poured into it.
Choosing from manufacturers, we settled on GranFest. These are quality products, but not the most expensive ones. And when building a house, you have to be very strict about any expenses.
The choice of the shape was not difficult for me - I only wanted a large round shell. It is very deep, so when washing dishes, splashes do not fly in different directions. At the same time, it does not take up much space. The only thing that I was not able to translate into the purchase - I would like to buy a sink with a "wing", that is, with a platform on which you can put wet dishes. But such a sink costs almost twice as much. And the functional of the wing for me with great success is performed by a terry rug on foam rubber, which absorbs all the water.
In the manufacture of such sinks, 80% of granite or marble chips are used, which are held together with polyester resins. It is because of this that they are so durable, but very delicate to the touch, I would even say warm.
For a year of use, I did not see a single flaw at the sink. But at the same time, one "joint" has already formed - paint has broken off on the edge of the crane handle. And the steel from which it was made became visible. So far, this is the only thing that did not suit us.
We chose the color for the table top and apron, terracotta. It turned out very practical and beautiful. The sink always looks clean and well-groomed.
I like the drain system with her - there is a primary filter that collects all the debris. You can get it out, shake off the accumulated large debris in a bucket, rinse and clean. There is also an overflow protection system.
I want to say right away that all the accessories for "Granfest" are included in the set. And this immediately makes such sinks more affordable than those of competitors. Buying a "bare" sink, then you can spend a lot financially and psychologically, choosing the right components for it.
Maybe there is a better car wash, but everything suits me in mine. Here is an experience that I am glad to share. I do not advertise anyone, but only tell them for those who are now making their choice.
