Some of our porcelain sinks are available with an overflow hole and optional, overflow pop-up or grid drain. The purpose of an overflow hole and overflow drain is to prevent water from overflowing if a sink is left unattended while filling up. The overflow opening sits near the top of the sink bowl, usually opposite of the faucet so that the hole remains unseen unless it is being looked for.
Our porcelain sinks are widely available in white and bisque, with a few models having the option for black. While bisque has many colors associated with its name, our bisque has a yellow tint and looks more like an eggshell color and our black porcelain has a very reflective gloss finish.
-
What is the difference between Vitreous China and Ceramic?Our porcelain sinks are made from a triple glazed and fired mixture of clay and other minerals, otherwise known as Vitreous China. This technique makes our porcelain sinks harder, more durable, stain resistant and easier to clean than sinks made from ceramic.
-
What is Vitreous China?Vitreous China fired longer and at a higher temperature than inferior ceramic sinks.
-
Are porcelain vessel sinks finished all the way around?No, some of our porcelain vessel sinks have unfinished faucet holes.
-
Do I need a special faucet and drain for a vessel sink?Yes, all vessel sinks require a vessel faucet and a vessel pop-up drain or grid drain. Waterfall faucets are available for all bamboo, glass, and stone vessel sinks.
