Bathroom sinks come in porcelain and acrylic, and they differ in durability, cleaning, and feel. The material also affects how the sink is mounted and drained.
The porcelain
Porcelain over cast iron or steel is classic, hard, and glossy, and it resists scratches but can chip if something heavy hits it.
The acrylic
Acrylic sinks are light, warm, and less likely to chip, but they can scratch and are more sensitive to harsh cleaners.
The cleaning
Porcelain tolerates more cleaning products, while acrylic needs gentle, non-abrasive care.
The install
