Porcelain Enamel

Porcelain enamel is basically a glass-coated finish that is adhered to metal or cast iron. Cast iron is more solid than sheet metal, therefore will not be as noisy when pots and pans are banging against the surface. The benefits of the porcelain sinks are the variety of color and pattern options with a fairly durable finish. Even though porcelain can chip, the damage can be repaired with epoxy paint.

Another new innovation from Villeroy & Boch drastically reduces water adhesion to the surface of porcelain that diminishes water spots and soap residue.
