| Below are brief descriptions of the terms used to describe what are commonly known as china bathroom pieces. |
 |
Vitreous China: A common material used for bathroom sanitary ware, such as console sinks and toilets. A mixture of clay and other minerals, vitreous china is baked at high temperatures after glazing. Its high gloss, stain resistant surface is ideal for use in both bathrooms and kitchens. |
 |
Fireclay: A hard, dense, and durable material that is molded primarily from clay and other minerals, then glazed. It is fired at a higher temperature than vitreous china, and has greater resistance to extreme heat. Ideal for kitchen farmhouse sinks. |
 |
Porcelain: A tough material that is made by heating specific types of refined clay. Its typical white translucent color is formed when the molded fixture is fired at a high temperature, and its surface is non-porous. Commonly used for trim such as faucet handles, inset buttons, bath hardware, showerheads, and sinks. |
 |
Ceramic: Sometimes used as a synonym for fireclay, ceramic refers to a durable clay mixture that is glazed and baked. Ideal for lavatory or kitchen sinks. |
 |
Resin: Easy to clean and incredibly durable, this stone-like material is made of a poly-resin blend.
Sink material is solid and the same color all the way through, similar to solid surface material. Because it can be cast into nearly any form or size, resin pedestal sinks are available in unique designs. |
