Integrated marble sinks looks great- is there a downside?

3 years ago

For smooth appearance and cleaning purposes, it seems great. But what if the marble chips or stains, or somehow else is there a downside to integrated marble sinks?

Hi, as with any other natural material, an integrated marble sink requires a little more care and attention. You should seal the material as least 2 times a year. Don't use any harsh cleaners, as long as you stay away from all white material, staining usually isn't an issue. Little chips can be fixed easier than with a white porcelain sink.

Hope this helps.
