Seeking a softer look in the kitchen? It’s possible to move away from stainless steel in the sink area.

Häfele’s Granite Sinks, produced in various sizes and configurations, are composed of a mix of quartz (80 per cent) and other substances including resin (20 per cent). This allows for a variety of colours, but also excellent surface performance.

The matte-finish sinks are produced in Germany in three colours – black, grey and cream – so the hub of the kitchen can be brought into alignment with the look of the surrounding surfaces.

Hygiene is crucial in the food preparation zone. Häfele’s Granite Sinks are food safe thanks to the surface material’s resistance to micro-organisms. It’s also odour free and stain resistant.

The surface is impervious to dirt, making it easy to clean, and it can withstand temperatures up to 180 degrees Celsius.

A high level of impact resistance means the sink is unlikely to be affected by indentations and scratches.

Granite Sinks can be top or bottom mounted and are available as a single bowl, double bowl or single bowl with drainer.
