Ceramic Kitchen Sinks

If you’re looking for a timeless kitchen sink that completes a traditional or farmhouse style space, ceramic kitchen sinks are a classic choice. Defined by their featured draining board and inset design, ceramic kitchen sinks are for those who need a practical sink with an elegant finish.

What are the benefits of a ceramic sink?

Ceramic sinks are known for their resistant nature. Not only are they stain resistant, but they’re a fairly durable material meaning that they’re resistant to scratches and chips. Ceramic sinks are also heat resistant which makes them great sinks for those who cook regularly and use hot water or utensils.

Many ceramic sinks also have hypoallergenic qualities.

Whilst the classic white with a draining board is the typical look for a ceramic sink, they actually come in a variety of colours and designs. Ceramic sinks can come in single and double bowl designs, as well as with or without a draining board.

Is a ceramic sink the same as a porcelain sink?

Ceramic and porcelain are both clay based pottery materials that have very similar finishes, but they aren’t exactly the same thing.

As the materials undergo different processes, whilst they may look similar, porcelain sinks tend to be slightly more durable than ceramic. Porcelain sinks also tend to be less porous than ceramic sinks meaning they have a higher resistance to water. However, both ceramic and porcelain are suitable materials for sinks.

Can you put boiling water in a ceramic sink?

Ceramic sinks are resistant to heat. Therefore, they’re completely safe to place boiling water or hot pots and pans in.
