Pros of having a natural stone sink
Beautiful stone is particularly sourced from the hillside, mountain rock and river beds. It takes thousands of years to form. Different materials go through constant physical and chemical processes to ultimately become stone. A small chunk is carefully separated from the source and processed into an end product. No single piece of stone is the same as the other despite being sourced from the same place. The natural stone contains different crystalline structuring, veining, colouration, pitting and other numerous variations that make each piece beautifully unique. One way or another, you are guaranteed a beautiful end product that will always be irresistible to look at.
Durable and Strong
Due to years spent under immense pressure, natural stone is extremely durable. It is very hard to cut or dent. Natural stone sinks are left unscathed by destructive agents such as high or low temperatures, humidity, pests, and rust. There have been numerous discoveries made of natural stone objects from ancient ruins still intact after thousands of years.
Easy To Maintain
A good natural stone sink is properly sealed and polished. This is not only meant to bring shine but to also protect the sink against staining, cracking and chipping due to water damage. It is therefore very easy to clean and maintain. Wiping now and then with a damp cloth is pretty much all it takes to remove accumulated dust and dirt. Every few years, be sure to find a professional to inspect and seal your stone sink to avoid incurring unforeseen costs brought about by water damage.
Highly Resistant
Stone is a poor conductor of heat. This means that high temperatures or humid climates cannot contribute to the destruction of your stone sink. On the other hand, one may be warned from using, bleach, acid or certain detergents to clean or work on a particular type of sink. However, you don’t need to worry about that with a natural stone sink because it is highly resistant.
Versatile
Depending on one’s preference, a homeowner can adopt a small modern round prep sink or go for a farmhouse-style sink to match the entire theme of the house. A farmhouse sink has a rough texture that looks to preserve the original state of the natural stone as it was sourced. On the other hand, one can have natural stone carved and chipped, into round, square or rectangular shapes to better complement and bring out detail and enhance appearance.
The Architecture of The Bathroom
Regardless of the layout of your bathroom, a stone basin can transform the mood, with a host of designs to choose from. There is an incredible selection of modern, elegant solutions that are versatile enough to adapt to many spaces and showcase sharp, minimalist lines or smooth curves depending on the effect you are looking for.
Marble, Granite, Onyx, Sandstone, Travertine and Soapstone, there’s an endless list of beautiful natural stones that can be used to make a sink. Natural stone sinks are slowly making their way into modern households and are being used creatively to complement bathroom and kitchen spaces eccentrically. Natural stone sinks are not just used for the sake of functionality as is the case with porcelain or stainless steel sinks, instead, they are used to incorporate nature into a space and bring a unique sense of appeal. When you are thinking of having natural stone countertops or sinks it is advisable to be furnished with the right information regarding the good and bad that comes with it. This way, you are better equipped with the know-how to better care for and maintain natural stone objects in your home.
