Porcelain or earthenware: how to choose a sink for the bathroom
There are many parameters to consider when choosing a bathroom sink.
One of them is the material the washbasin is made of. According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , the most common option is a ceramic sink.
Ceramics for making sinks can be of two types: earthenware and porcelain.
Externally, they differ little from each other, and their characteristics are in many ways similar.
Thus, both earthenware and porcelain have a beautiful appearance and white color and are resistant to high temperatures.
In addition, they are characterized by such a quality as low noise. This means that the water flowing from the tap will not make a "rattling" sound when it comes into contact with the surface of the sink.
Both earthenware and porcelain are easy to care for – any cleaning agent can be used to clean them.
At the same time, porcelain is considered a higher quality option compared to earthenware. In addition, it will remain snow-white longer, since this material is less porous in composition than earthenware.
However, as we know, you have to pay for quality, so porcelain sinks are usually more expensive than their earthenware counterparts.
