Stainless steel kitchen sink
For clean, contemporary and minimalist surroundings, a stainless steel kitchen sink blends in perfectly with modern furniture, appliances and decor.

Granite kitchen sink
Maybe your lifestyle demands a very practical family kitchen. If you ask a lot of your sink then a granite kitchen sink could be the perfect choice. Warm and inviting with a natural beauty, granite is also especially hard-wearing. You can throw almost anything at it and it stays looking as good as they day you bought it. Even a hot pan straight from the hob or today's harsh cleaning products are no match for this stain, scuff, scratch and burn resistant kitchen sinks surface.
Remember, you just can't hide kitchen sinks - they are always on show. All the more reason to take your time and choose the one that best suits your taste and the style of your kitchen.

Inset kitchen sink
If you are planning to fit a laminate worktop, then you will need an inset kitchen sink which has edges that sit on top of the worktop. One or two bowls plus a drainer is the most conventional inset sink design, but you can choose from a wide range of bowl sizes and some options are available without a drainer. In some cases, the tap is fitted onto the sink and, in others, it is positioned behind, set into the worktop.
A kitchen sink with three corner installation are great if worktop space is limited but you need multiple bowls and a drainer. They make use of an often wasted space within the kitchen, and you won't have to compromise on the size of your sink bowls. Designs vary from classic styling with rounded bowls and feature drainer patterns, to leading-edge square designs with sheer edges and shallow lip depths.

Sit-on kitchen sink
Based on a cassic Victorian design, these stainless steel kitchen sink versions provide a focal point in the kitchen and go especially well with some of the larger, more prominent tap styles. Farmhouse style sinks slot into the cabinet space, with the front vertical edge in view, slightly raised above the worktop height and beyond the cabinet depth, to draw attention to the impressive design. One model allows for the tap to fit onto the sink, and the other requires fitting into the worktop.

Undermount kitchen sink
The selection of undermount sinks is extensive, ranging from rounded to square designs, with either a single or double bowl of various sizes. Fitting templates are available for undermounted bowls.

Sinks with multiple bowls
Individual bowls, whether inset or undermounted, can offer you a bespoke solution as they can be mixed in any combination to suit the space available. If you like the clean look of individual bowls but need a drainer, the round inset drainer option may be just what you are looking for..
