Key Features of Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink

• Material Quality
  • Stainless Steel Grades: Most commonly 304-grade (18/8) Stainless Steel, known for:
    • 18% chromium (corrosion resistance)
    • 8% nickel (shine and durability)
    Some premium models use 316-grade for even higher corrosion resistance.
• Thickness (Gauge)
  • Gauge measures thickness; lower is thicker:
  • 16-gauge (1.5 mm) – Heavy-duty, more durable and quieter.
  • 18-gauge (1.2 mm) – Standard thickness, more affordable.
• Noise Reduction
  • Sound-deadening pads or undercoating help reduce noise from water and dishes.
  • Helps avoid the “tinny” sound common in low-end sinks.
• Corrosion & Rust Resistance
  • Stainless Steel is naturally resistant to:
    • Rust
    • Stains
    • Acid and chemical exposure from common kitchen use.
• Hygiene and Easy Cleaning
  • Non-porous surface: Resists bacteria buildup.
  • Wipes clean with soap and water—no special cleaners needed.
• Design and Mounting Options
  • Mounting styles:
    • Top-mount (drop-in)
    • Undermount
    • Farmhouse (apron-front)
  • Bowl options:
    • Single bowl
    • Double bowl
    • Offset bowl
    • Workstation sink (with accessories like colander, cutting board)
• Finish Options
  • Satin / brushed finish: Hides scratches better.
  • Mirror finish: Sleeker look, more reflective, but shows scratches more easily.
