A great idea to “light up” your old looking bathroom and kitchen and bring the natural beauty to home is to try gorgeous Stone Sinks. Granite, Onyx, Marble , Travertine…which stone to choose? Well, that depends on your preference, each stone has its own unique features:

Onyx is an agate-like stone often translucent with a layered appearance. It is formed in cold mineral springs by calcite precipitation. This unique natural stone product is an expression of luxury and charm. It has beautiful, translucent, and contrasting colors.

Marble has several types, including calcites, dolomites, serpentines (typically green marbles) and travertines (sedimentary limestone). Each of these is similar in their composition, that being predominantly calcium carbonate, and their capability to take a polish. They are all equally beautiful.

Granite is one of the most popular natural stone on the market. Sources of granite can be found worldwide. About two-thirds that are seen in the market come from Brazil, China and India. Granite is typically heat resistant. Studies of bacteria retention on common countertop surfaces and sinks have proven granite to be superior to the majority of surfaces employed for that purposes.

Travertine is limestone that has been formed over a long period of time. The product is porous with many visible holes. Travertine comes in several shades of creme/beige, brown, pink and gold, and is available in a number of different tile sizes and slab thicknesses. Some of the largest travertine deposits in North America are located in New Mexico.

With the popularity of going green and going natural, Stone Kitchen Sinks and Stone Vessel Sinks have been among the hot topics in kitchen and home decor.
