Quartz Composite sink

Anyone know where I can a quartz composite sink  ? Even when I put quartz in the searches all the sinks showing on websites are granite not quartz composite?  Thanks

Why do you want quartz? Surely granite is easier to keep clean?

if it is range of colours / styles you want, have a look at https://www.blanco.com/gb-en/kitchen-sinks/materials/silgranit-granite-sinks/

Hi.  From reading reviews online quartz composite is far more robust than granite. The second option from reviews I have read is to buy ceramic.  Strange that there doesn't seem to be a supplier in the UK.

Would you argue those sinks are granite? They say they are made of 80% quartz sand and fail to state what the remaining 20% is but given it's made with a fine particulate it's probably a resin of some description. A quartz worktop is quartz crystals in resin, so basically the same description other than quartz worktops tend to claim to be circa 90% particulate and 10% resin 


Another brand calls theirs a "granite composite" and equally state a 80% quartz sand and 20% resin https://www.tapwarehouse.com/p/vellamo-horizon-large-1-bowl-granite-sink-pv?sku=vel-horizon-large-1-bowl-white-granite-sink-var


So to answer the OP's question... you can readily buy quartz sinks just they are being liberal with the description and most are marketed with "granite" in the name.
