The Sink Options Available

Stainless

Hygiene and chemical resistance, the main advantages of stainless steel sinks is that they are seamless one piece units which makes them easier to clean and more hygienic than most other sinks types. 

Seamless sinks like stainless and epoxy resin sinks are less prone to scratching and cracking which are likely to create areas for bugs to develop. Available as drop on and under-slung styles.

Ceramic

Ceramic sinks like you see in kitchens are popular choice for art rooms and food technology classrooms, They are available in very large and deep sizes. 

They offer reasonable chemical resistance. While ceramic sinks are easy to maintain and clean and pleasing to the eye they do have a downside of chipping if pots, pans and other metal objects are knocked or dropped into the sink. More care and attention is needed if selecting ceramic sinks.

Epoxy Resin

The most popular choice for science classrooms and commercial laboratories. They offer high chemical resistance and long term durability. 

Like ceramic sinks they are heavy and often need additional support underneath them on larger size models. 

As they are made from resin they are seamless and can be made custom sizes, style available include, drop in, under-slung and as a one piece integral sink and drainer.
