Why Your New Construction Sink or Countertop Might Be a Problem

🚰 Let’s Talk Sinks & Counters
Not All Finishes Are Created Equal đź‘€

When you’re building a home, it’s easy to think a sink is just a sink… and a countertop is just a countertop.

But the materials your builder installs can affect:

đź›  Durability
đź§˝ Maintenance
🔥 Heat resistance
đź’Ą Chipping & cracking
đź’° Resale value

In this video, we break down the most common sink types in new construction:

Stainless steel (and why gauge matters)
Granite composite
Fireclay farmhouse sinks
Cast iron
Acrylic & porcelain bath sinks

And the most popular countertop options:
Laminate
Quartz
Granite
Marble
Solid surface

Quartzite (yes, it’s different from quartz!)

⚠️ We also share what builders don’t always explain — materials are often chosen based on cost and availability… not long-term performance.

If you’re building or upgrading, this is information you’ll want before making selections at the design center.
