Kitchen sink and gauge (Steel thickness)
There are many reasons to buy stainless steel and granite or ceramic sinks.
The first is the cost, because you can get great value for a few hundred dollars with a well-structured kitchen sink.
Second, they are unlikely to have chips and cracks in their daily use.
The sink is usually made of 18/10 steel (
This is the ratio of chromium to nickel)
There are all kinds of thickness.
When many retailers talk about the thickness of steel, it is actually a measurement of the weight per square foot.
Now you have something that makes the rep look bad!
For convenience, we will discuss in terms of thickness!
The thickness of the steel is measured with a lower number indicating a larger thickness.
Thicker sink construction material means that your sink is less likely to bend, bend, and dent in daily use.
Most of the high quality kitchen sinks are made of No. 16 stainless steel, some of which are No. 18 and cheaper No. 20 or No. 22 steel.
For most of us, this number is pretty useless before you think steel 16 is about 20% thicker than steel 18!
For a solid sink, the 16 specification is a sign of quality.
What do you want?
The most popular and common stainless steel sink finish is brushed satin.
Other options include polishing, silk and linen finishes.
As the name suggests, the wire has been brushed (or abraded)
Use fine sand sandpaper.
The satin finish is completed using a finer cloth, loading the abrasive paste with the final finish according to the degree of grinding of the slurry.
The polished surface is the best of the three (
Brush, satin, polished).
It is important to keep in mind that deep scratches are hard to fall off no matter which finish you choose.
While you should always take care of your sink and protect it, it is important to accept the fact that it will be scratched and imagine which finish works best for you.
Many people choose to be based on the design instead of the completed sink and remember that there will be a micro sink over time
Scratches from everyday wear change the look of the sink, but also add personality to the kitchen.
The final decision is to find a high quality kitchen sink from a leading manufacturer that looks good and fits your kitchen.
However, it is always good to know that your money is well spent, the sink you invest in can be more than your kitchen by carefully choosing the right thickness, finish and, of course, be careful.
There are limited guarantees for most premium brands, so you can rest assured that your sink will last!
