What is the difference between a porcelain sink and a cast iron sink?
A cast iron sink is crafted from highly durable cast iron, It is then usually finished with an enamel coating or porcelain coating. A cast iron sink can also be a porcelain sink, as a porcelain coating provides a highly resilient finish that is resistant to scratching and chipping. On 1stDibs, find a collection of cast iron sinks and porcelain sinks.
