Are acrylic sinks really better than cast iron ones?
I also like the white enameled cast iron sinks but the twice I’ve had one, the enamel eventually got a chip. The sink didn’t rust but it was black under the enamel and looked bad. The enamel sold to paint over chips really doesn’t work very well. I suppose acrylic sinks don’t stain or scratch — as long as you don’t use them but I’ve never seen one more than a few years old that didn’t look dingy. I now stick to stainless — not the lowest grade though because they “ding”. You can tell the better grade in the store just by rapping your knuckles or a key chain on the bottom. The better grade makes a lower pitched sound.
