Bathroom sinks are available in many materials including vitreous china, cast iron, fireclay, glass, stainless steel, brass, nickel, copper, marble, and stone.
  • Handpainted finishes are more delicate by nature, requiring special attention when cleaning.
  • Glass sinks are much tougher than they look, but like other premium materials such as brass and nickel, will show water spots if not wiped down after use.
  • Vitreous china is very durable and has a smooth, easy-to-clean finish. Offered in a rainbow of colors, choices of handpainted, etched, hammered, matte, and carved finishes must be considered along with material and design.
