Answer from Todd V. from the Shelby Township Wittock Location: There are a few differences to be aware of when deciding which is right for your kitchen. Cast Iron is a liquefied metal poured into a mold and then a porcelain enamel finish is applied and heated to join with the metal.

There are several color choices available, they’re easy to clean, and they have a greater resistance to staining and fading. However, because these sinks are heavy, additional mounting support may be needed. Plus, if you happen to chip the sink, the enamel underneath the surface will be a different color which makes many customers nervous.

Fireclay sinks are created by molding clay into shape and letting it dry. After, a porcelain enable is applied and then the entire sink is heat treated in a kiln. This heat treating joins the lay and enamel, increasing their strengths.

Fireclay sinks are easy to clean, are resistant to scratching, stating, chipping and fading, and will not rust. However, these can be more expensive than cast iron and colors are limited.

Lastly, think about body sprays and accessories and if you’ll want to target your shoulders and back to relieve sore muscles.

Answer from K. Hemenway from the Shelby Township Wittock Kitchen and Bath Location: Copper and bronze are considered a living finish. A living finish is a non-lacquered, unprotected finish that “changes” over time. The finish changes are caused by oxidation from the air, as well as soaps, even natural oils that could be on your hands when you turn faucets on and off.
