Features of 18-Gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks

Stainless steel is known to be one of the most robust materials you can use for a sink. They’re resistant to scratches, dents, and corrosion. Because of this, stainless steel holds up to the intensity of years of use in the kitchen while maintaining good condition. This material is easy to clean, making it a breeze to keep your kitchen tidy. Its surface is smooth and non-porous, preventing bacterial and fungi growth. It’s inherently microbial, making it a hygienic choice.

When your kitchen materials are frequently coming into contact with hot pots and pans, you want it to be resistant to heat. Stainless steel doesn’t warp or discolor when it comes into contact with heat. Even in your most demanding and intense kitchen environments, you don’t have to worry about your sink.

It’s hard to surprise your family with breakfast when you have a noisy sink. Since it’s 18-gauge, it insulates sound better than thinner materials. It dampens noise caused by running water, garbage disposals, and utensils coming into contact with it. It makes the kitchen more peaceful and easier for you to surprise your family with a good meal or favorite dessert. It’s also convenient for socializing while you’re cooking and hosting guests.

Benefits of Our Kitchen Sinks

Stainless steel blends in with various different styles you may choose to go with in your kitchen. Stainless steel is sleek and modern, bringing an elevated, sophisticated look to your kitchen.  Stainless steel can come in many different finishes, including satin, polished, and brushed. The specific finish provides a unique look that blends perfectly with the direction you intend to go with your design.

Not only are they stylish, but they’re easy to maintain. Since the material is non-porous, it doesn’t discolor when things spill. Dirt doesn’t continue to build up and become overwhelming. The only thing you should really need to do to your sink is to clean it routinely with soapy water and a soft cloth. You want your sink to remain shiny and bright.

When you’re getting a stainless steel sink, you’re making a lifetime investment. It’s more affordable than sinks made of granite or other materials, with the benefit of being exceptionally durable, too. They’re cost-effective and a long-term investment for your home.

How do I choose the right size kitchen sink for my kitchen?

Choosing the right size kitchen sink for your kitchen depends on several factors:

• Countertop Space: Measure the space available on your countertop. The sink should fit comfortably without overcrowding your kitchen workspace. Leave enough room around the sink for food prep, cleaning, and other tasks.
• Sink Size: Kitchen sinks come in different sizes. If you have a large kitchen or do a lot of cooking, a bigger sink with multiple bowls might be useful. Think about how many bowls you want. A single-bowl sink is great for large pots and dishes, while a double-bowl sink helps separate tasks (like washing and rinsing).
• Your Kitchen Needs: Consider how often you cook, entertain, and wash dishes. A bigger sink with more space might be better if you cook large meals often. A smaller one may work fine if you don’t use your sink much.

What are the most hygienic kitchen sink materials?

Some materials are easier to clean and less likely to harbor bacteria. Stainless steel is one of the most hygienic materials because it’s non-porous, which means bacteria can’t hide in tiny cracks or holes. It’s easy to clean, resistant to stains, and doesn’t rust. Regular cleaning with soap and water keeps it hygienic.

What types of kitchen sinks are scratch-resistant?

High-quality stainless steel sinks are generally scratch-resistant, especially with a brushed or matte finish. While they can still get small scratches over time, they’re usually not very noticeable and don’t affect the sink’s performance. The thicker the steel, the more resistant it will be to scratches.

Are stainless steel kitchen sinks easy to maintain?

Yes, stainless steel kitchen sinks are easy to maintain. Follow these simple tips to keep your stainless steel sink looking great:

• Wipe your sink regularly with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.
• Dry your sink with a soft towel to keep it shiny and prevent mineral deposits.
• Stay away from bleach or strong cleaning products that can damage the finish of your sink.
• Use mineral oil or a stainless steel cleaner to keep it shiny.

How do I maintain a kitchen sink with a garbage disposal?

To maintain a kitchen sink with a garbage disposal, follow these simple steps:

• Always run cold water when using the garbage disposal to keep food waste moving.
• Clean the disposal every few weeks by grinding ice cubes and small pieces of lemon or orange peels.
• Don’t put fibrous foods like celery, corn husks, or potato peels in the disposal.
• Never put grease or oil in the disposal.
• Scrub the sides of the disposal to remove any stuck food.
• Don’t overload the disposal with too much food waste at once.

How can I remove hard water stains from my kitchen sink?

To remove hard water stains from your kitchen sink, pour white vinegar onto a clean cloth or sponge and apply it to the stained areas. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to loosen the stains. Vinegar will help break down the minerals in hard water.

After letting the vinegar sit, sprinkle some baking soda onto the stained spots. Use a soft sponge or brush to scrub gently.

The baking soda is a mild abrasive that helps scrub away the stains without scratching your sink. Once the stains are gone, rinse the sink thoroughly with warm water to remove the vinegar and baking soda residue.

How big should my kitchen sink be?

We provide single kitchen sinks with a minimum sink base requirement of 24″ wide x 24″ deep. If you want a double-bowl sink, the minimum sink base requirement is 33″ wide x 24″ deep.

What type of kitchen sink is best for a small kitchen?

The best type of kitchen sink for a small kitchen is one that maximizes space and functionality without taking up too much room.

A single-basin sink is a great choice for small kitchens because it takes up less space than a double-basin sink. It gives you plenty of room to wash large pots, pans, and dishes all in one area. An undermount sink is installed beneath the countertop. This design also makes it easier to clean the countertop since there’s no lip around the sink.

Also, although they can be large, some smaller farmhouse sinks are designed to fit compact spaces. These sinks have a deep basin that can help with washing larger items. Still, if chosen carefully, they can still work in small kitchens.
