From stone and stainless steel to wood, marble, and concrete, there are many options when choosing a material for your washroom basin. Still, we're partial to the classic: ceramic. Why choose a ceramic bathroom sink? Let us count the reasons.
First, let's break down the material. Ceramic (even porcelain ceramic) is a type of pottery — a mixture of clay, powders, and water that is shaped, then hardened by heat. Count on these vessels for durability and functionality. Plus, they're resistant to scratching and chipping, making them a favorite for high-traffic powder rooms.
