There are three basic types of kitchen sink materials -- (1) stainless steel, (2) enameled cast iron, and (3) solid surface.
- Stainless steel sinks are the most popular because they are easy to clean and heat resistant. Stainless steel is an alloy and derives it's stainless quality from both chromium and nickel. However, stainless steel are sometimes prone to scratches and dents.
- Enameled cast iron sinks have a thin layer of enamel (a material derived from glass) fused to a cast-iron surface. While relatively cheap, they tend to chip and stain easily.
- Solid surface sinks are made from acrylic resins and a mixture of mineral materials. They are relatively easy to clean but are prone to heat fractures.

∙ 13y agoMost sinks in modern homes are stainless steel in the kitchen. In the US, it is more common to use a cast cultured marble sink in bathrooms, which merges the sink basin and countertop into one piece. Another often used style is porcelain coated cast metal. The porcelain coating is very hard and will last a lifetime. Other decorative sinks have become popular made from ceramic and even glass, but these are usually placed in less often used bathrooms.

∙ 6y agoEnameled steel sinks are rather old-fashioned but still available. Stainless steel is a bit more up-to-date. Most are made of porcelain or ceramic. Many of the newer models are molded from 'space-age' plastics and polymers. What was probably the oldest sink I ever saw still in use was carved from a solid block of marble.
