Bathroom Sink



In plumbing, a sink or basin is a bowl-shaped fixture that is used for washing hands or small objects.
Sinks generally have taps (faucets) that supply hot and cold water and may include a spray feature to be used for faster rinsing. They also include a drain to remove used water; this drain may itself include a strainer and/or shut-off device and an overflow-prevention device. Sinks may also have an intergrated soap dispensers.

When a sink becomes stopped-up or clogged, a person will often resort to use a chemical drain cleaner or a plunger.

Sinks are made of many different materials including Stainless steel and Enamel over cast iron.

Enamel over cast iron is the most popular material for kitchen and bathroom sinks. Heavy and durable, these sinks can also be manufactured in a very wide range of shapes and colors.
Like stainless steel, they are very resistant to hot or cold objects, but they can be damaged by sharp impacts and once the glass surface is breached, the underlying cast iron will often corrode, spalling off more of the glass. Aggressive cleaning will dull the surface, leading to more dirt accumulation.
Enamel over steel is a similar-appearing but far less rugged and less cost-effective alternative.
