Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge stainless steel is best for a kitchen sink?

16 gauge is the usual sweet spot for a main sink: thick enough to resist denting and to stay quiet. 18 gauge is fine for a secondary or utility bowl.

Undermount or drop in?

Undermount suits stone and solid surface counters, since the counter edge is finished and crumbs sweep straight in. Drop in is easier to retrofit and works with laminate.

How do I keep a stainless sink from spotting?

Dry it after use in hard water areas, and clean along the grain with a mild cleaner. A brushed finish hides spots much better than a polished one.

Will a stainless sink scratch?

The surface develops a fine patina of small scratches with use. A brushed finish absorbs that pattern so it reads as texture rather than damage. A sink grid protects the base.

Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks

Undermount and drop in stainless kitchen sinks in single and double bowl layouts, with the sound deadening pads and drain openings you would expect on a working kitchen sink.

Two numbers describe a stainless sink: the gauge and the finish. A lower gauge number means thicker steel, which dents less and sounds quieter under running water. A brushed or satin finish hides water spots far better than a mirror polish.

Undermount bowls give a clean counter edge and let you sweep crumbs straight in, which is why they suit stone countertops. Drop in bowls are simpler to fit into an existing counter.
