Regarding the price
We all know that ceramic integrated sinks are products with relatively high cost performance. A single ceramic integrated sink costs only a few hundred yuan, and a complete set of cabinets would cost around 2,000 yuan.
However, if it were replaced with imported artificial stone integrated sink cabinets, the price of the entire set of cabinets would double. This is because a 1-meter artificial stone integrated basin cabinet would cost over 3,000 yuan. Therefore, the price difference between the two is very significant.
In Terms of Manufacturing Techniques and Customization
If our installation location is of standard size, then the ceramic integrated sink has some advantages. Generally speaking, the ceramic integrated sink is made in a standard size because it needs to rely on molds to be placed in a high-temperature furnace for firing. It is impossible to get a mold for every size and every shape. It is all formed and fired in batches. So the size of the ceramic integrated sink you want to customize it is difficult, in general will not have this kind of ceramic bowl, customized, integrated it is a standard size, such as 60 cm / 70 cm / 80 cm / 90 cm, 100 cm, longest in general, is 120 cm
The production process of artificial stone is different. For instance, imported artificial stone integrated sink cabinets are made from raw boards, which are joined together through some hot-pressing, splicing and seamless processes. Especially in many homes where three sides are against the wall, an artificial stone one-piece basin can be customized to any size to achieve such an integrated effect. This is the biggest difference between the two in production. So, when choosing between a ceramic one-piece basin and an artificial stone integrated sink? The first thing to consider is exactly what size you are. If you are a standard size, a ceramic basin can be your first choice.
Differences In the Design of Ceramic Basins
There are many types of ceramic basins available on the market, such as thin-edged, thick-edged, regular, and those with or without edge guidance. The design differences among them are quite significant.
For instance, the minimalist thin-edge basin design (the ceramic integrated sink in the middle of the picture above) will have a thin edge treatment. The guide edge is not obvious, only a water-blocking design is added at the back, which makes the visual effect simpler.
The ceramic basin shown in the picture below is a practical design. It has been treated as a large-belted basin and has thick guide edges, which can prevent water from flowing onto the ground or wetting our clothes. Therefore, it is much more practical than thin edges
Regarding tolerances
The quality of ceramic basins from different merchants varies greatly. There will be differences in color and flatness. What needs to be particularly noted here is the issue of tolerance. Because ceramics expand and contract during the firing process, the surface may become uneven and the tolerance is likely to be relatively large. If the home is reserved for a more precise size, such as 1 meter, then special attention should be paid to the purchase of ceramic basins, to ask the merchant for the exact size of 1 1-meter ceramic basin. Otherwise, it is very likely to tip over on the spot and not be installed properly. Don’t buy a 1-meter bathroom cabinet just because it’s 1 meter. It’s very likely that you reserve a 1-meter one but won’t be able to install it when you get back. Besides, ceramic is very hard and it’s very difficult to cut it on site. Moreover, after it’s cut, the edges will be exposed.
In this regard, the tolerance of artificial stone basins is relatively small. For such a type of artificial stone basin, its tolerance is usually around 5mm, which is relatively easy to handle on site. Its edges can be ground, so even if there is a tolerance of just a few millimeters, it can be ground on site to handle it, achieving exactly the right difference. Overall, it looks very beautiful. Therefore, when purchasing, the precautions for these two types of basins are quite different.
Maintenance
Ceramic washbasins can be said to be one of the easiest to maintain. As long as the glaze on its surface is well done, many things are difficult to adhere to, even hair dye. If scale is not regularly maintained, it may adhere. If it is hard, it will be a bit more difficult to maintain. However, it can be maintained with acetic acid or similar substances. Therefore, ceramic washbasins, relatively speaking, In terms of maintenance, it has relatively good performance. Artificial stone one-piece basin washbasins cannot be said to be 100% as good as ceramics in terms of maintenance, but artificial stone one-piece basin’s maintenance performance is also quite good. It can still be maintained very clean, with high density and no color leakage.
Summary: Which One to Choose?

| Minimalist design + easy cleaning | Ceramic Integrated Sink (Thin-Edge Design) |
| Wall-to-wall fit or irregular space | Artificial Stone Integrated Sink |
| Tight size precision required | Artificial Stone Integrated Sink |
