Ceramic Kitchen Sinks – Classy and Bulletproof
With the advent of the modern era and modern production methods, ceramic kitchen sinks were phased out in favour of cheaper, more easily produced stainless steel products. “Hang on steel is used in lots of applications to be bullet proof, what’s the deal with your title huh?” Well stainless steel sinks are generally thin, noisy, and scratch and stain easier than a ceramic kitchen sink would; besides, everyone’s got a stainless steel sink, who wants to be like everyone else?
Ok now I may have exaggerated just a little. Chances are whatever ceramic kitchen sink you end up purchasing, it won’t be ballistics rated. HOWEVER, it WILL be extremely hardy. As any other pottery ceramic kitchen sinks are made by blending clays, fillers and fluxes during a firing process then applying white or colour glazed finishes that fuse chemically and physically to the clay. As a finished product, ceramic kitchen sinks have an EXTREMELY hard and scratch resistant surface (think of some of your best flatware), are resistant to fading, staining (ever been able to stain one of your plates?), burning, and even solvents and acids.
