A black granite composite kitchen sink with an integrated drainboard, available as a single deep bowl or a double bowl — both in the same 1000x500mm footprint.

Granite composite sinks earn their keep in busy kitchens: scratch-resistant, quiet under running water, and available in a matte black that hides water spots far better than stainless. The KSS1050B comes in two bowl configurations built around the same footprint, so the choice is about how you actually wash up, not the cabinet cut-out.

Single bowl with drainboard

One deep bowl plus an integrated ribbed drainboard — the practical choice if you mostly hand-wash and want somewhere for dishes to drain without a separate rack cluttering the bench. Good depth for oversized pots that a double-bowl sink's smaller basins can't always fit.

Double bowl, 1000x500mm

The double-bowl version splits the same footprint into a wash bay and a smaller prep or rinse bay, still with a drainboard alongside. It's the better pick if you regularly work with a bowl full of soapy water on one side and a running tap on the other — more common in households that cook daily rather than reheat.

Living with granite composite

Rinse and wipe rather than leave standing water to dry in the bowl, which over time can leave mineral marks even on a dense composite surface. As a granite sink NZ buyers increasingly favour, black finishes are worth checking against your benchtop colour in person or under a sample swatch — black composite reads slightly warmer or cooler depending on the specific stone blend.
