Not all apartment owners who decide to update their bathroom choose the traditional ceramic sink option – concrete sinks are becoming increasingly popular.
Indeed, as the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , says, such products are quite budget-friendly and also have an interesting and modern look, but one should not forget about their inherent shortcomings.
Insufficient hardness
Because concrete has a porous structure, it is impossible to make a sink as durable as one made of, for example, granite. In addition, such a sink is easy to scratch.
Additional processing
The porous structure of concrete requires additional treatment before painting so that the color is uniform and does not change over time.
Fragility
Concrete sinks are quite fragile and can lose their aesthetic appeal when exposed to aggressive detergents, regular presence of dishes or food waste in the sink.
And if in the bathroom such a sink still has a “chance to survive”, then in the kitchen there is no place for a concrete product.
