Sink Mats
Which Kitchen Sink Material to Choose?
Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks
Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks are known for not chipping, nicking, cracking, rusting, staining or fading. What they can do is scratch easily and even dent if a very heavy object (such as a cast-iron pot) is dropped on it. Another con is that the stainless steel can be noisy, however most are undercoated with a sound deadening material to reduce noise, inhibit condensation and provide better heat retention. Choosing a lower gauge, which means thicker stainless steel, gives you a smaller chance of denting and less noise. Premium sinks are made from 16 to 19 gauge stainless steel.
Enameled Cast Iron Kitchen Sinks
Enameled Cast Iron Kitchen Sinks are a solid cast iron base layered with a deep enamel surface. These sinks are extremely heavy and resist almost any type of structural damage. They feature a classic look that fits well in traditional homes. These long-lasting sinks are more difficult to install due to their weight, but they provide good heat retention and are quieter than some other types of sinks. The enamel allows you to choose from a wide variety of colors but can scratch.
Fireclay Kitchen Sinks
Fireclay is an enhanced type of vitreous china and are manufactured using a ceramic base material with baked on porcelain to achieve a glossy finish. A Fireclay Sink is commonly referred to as a "Country" or "French country" style sink. They repel stains, are scratch resistant and therefore a little pricey. They are available in many colors including hand-painted and sculptured designs. This type of sink is easy to clean and is germ-resistant. However, damage could occur if a heavy object is dropped into the sink.
Copper Kitchen Sinks
Copper Kitchen Sinks are attractive to those who want to add beauty and warmth to a kitchen. Most copper sinks are crafted from the finest quality high grade/heavy duty gauge copper. Copper Sinks are hand-hammered works of art that will endure a lifetime of use while absorbing noise. They are also great at resisting dents and scratches. Copper Sinks have a living finish, their patina ages and improves over time, therefore they resist stains and discoloration. They are also a healthier choice because bacteria cannot grow on copper. However, they are a pricier choice.
Kitchen Sink from Solid Surface Materials
Solid Surface Materials refers to engineered stone which is an authentic solid surface. This material is very popular as it mimics the look and feel of granite and other high-end stones and is affordable. Color and texture run all the way through the product. The material is not completely scratch-proof, but most scratches buff out easily. In addition, it is heat and stain resistant. Solid surface materials are made from acrylic and polyester resins and are available in a wide range of colors.
Porcelain Kitchen Sinks
Porcelain Sinks usually feature a porcelain coating over a base of cast iron or other metal. They are common in older homes. Porcelain sinks can be buffed to a shine, but they can chip if you drop heavy items into the sink, and some stains can be hard to remove, especially ones left over time. They do absorb heat rather than retain it so that a sink full of hot water may not remain hot very long.
Acrylic Kitchen Sinks
Acrylic Kitchen Sinks are made of acrylic material molded into a sink using a cast. They are typically lightweight compared to other sinks and are available in a wide range of colors. Acrylic Kitchen Sinks resist stains, and some models actually come with germ resistant components included in the manufacturing process. Acrylic sinks aren't as resistant to heat as other materials and can scratch easily, although they don't dent so easily.
No matter what sink you decide on, it is highly recommended that you use sink mat to both, protect the sink surface from abrasions, dents and scratches as well as adding some cushioning in case a glass is dropped in the sink.

What texture of furniture would cats NOT like to sink their claws into?
I currently have two living room couches and the fabric on them seems to be made out of corduroy. My cats love to scratch the arms of the couches! I buy them scratching posts and mats and those cardboard things but that only seems to deter them some of the time.
The couches are several years old and I was thinking the next time I upgrade I need to look for something that they wouldn't like to scratch so much. Any ideas? I know they like certain textures more than others for scratching.
Unfortunately - the only furniture your kitties won't want to scratch is cement. Leather, Corduroy, Cotton, - I've had it all, and it's all been destroyed. You may want to look into the gel caps you can put on your cats claws so they don't destroy the couches. Good luck.
