What are homeowners’ top picks for kitchen materials? Regardless of the style and size of your kitchen, MR Direct offers a wide selection to help you find the perfect kitchen sink that's proven and trusted across homeowners and professionals.
Let’s take a look at our best sellers.
Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel
Known for its durability, affordable cost, and brilliant shine, stainless steel is the most popular kitchen sink material.
Stainless steel sinks come in all styles, bowl types and sizes, and they are resistant to most types of damage like stains and scratches. They also come in various gauge sizes, offering further options for extra durability. This is why stainless steel sinks and counters are also the top choice in restaurants and industrial kitchens. It’s also very easy to find the installation style you’re looking for, making it a popular choice to consider.
For a long-lasting sink that requires very little maintenance, shop stainless steel.
Quartz Granite
Quartz Granite
Quartz granite is a beautiful and durable stone that brings natural tones to the kitchen. Ideal for modern and traditional décor styles, these sinks are both pleasing to the eye and the touch, plus they are available in a variety of colors.
This material is incredibly resistant to heat, stains, scratches, and because it’s non-porous, it requires no treating and almost no maintenance.
Quartz granite is heavier and more expensive than stainless steel, but most believe it’s worth the price to buy a quartz granite sink.
Copper
Copper
Copper adds an earthy feel to kitchens and fits well in rustic, farmhouse, industrial, and contemporary design styles. It’s also ideal for those who want to add some pattern to their sink.
MR Direct copper sinks are made out of pure mined copper, so you never have to worry about the sink becoming green. However, it will age beautifully and darken its color over time, so your sink will have an ever-changing aesthetic.

Fireclay
Fireclay
Fireclay is best known to fit perfectly in traditional or farmhouse style kitchens. Made from a clay composite, it has the glossy look of porcelain but with a cooler, earthier texture. It’s also more durable than porcelain, making it a good material for deep sinks and big kitchens.
One of the greatest qualities of a fireclay sink is that they are very easy to clean with mild soap and water, maintaining its beautiful glossy surface for years to come. MR Direct’s Fireclay Apron Sinks are also reversible, giving you the option to show off a sleek smooth side or decorative fluted design.
Cast Iron
Cast Iron
Though heavy, cast iron is a highly durable kitchen material that’s guaranteed to last. Known for their ease of maintenance and virtual imperviousness to damage, they’ve been a top choice of kitchen materials for centuries.
Cast iron sinks look great in both vintage and contemporary design styles and come in various colors to match your kitchen’s design.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or your client’s kitchen, you never have to stick to only one material. These top 5 MR Direct bestselling materials are sure to bring great quality and style to the room.
