Kraus 32×19x10 Under Mount 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink
Stainless steel is a material that we loved in our kitchen for years and years. We love it for its design aesthetic, its durability, functionality, and for its “bang for your buck.” So what can we expect when shopping for a stainless steel kitchen sink? Well, there are a few things that you should insist on when purchasing a new stainless steel sink for your remodel or ground up construction. We recently got a look at the all new stainless steel collection from Kraus and where quite impressed with the high quality and solid construction of this collection. One of the sinks we got our hands on was the 32” x 19” x 10” Under Mounted 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks. We thought this, along with this and the other members of this collection were the perfect comparison to what buyers should look for when purchasing a stainless steel kitchen sink.

Start by knowing the material and understanding the features of that material. For example the Kraus Under Mounted Stainless Steel collection features T-304 stainless steel that boasts a 16 gauge metal in 1.5mm thickness. This T-304 Stainless Steel material prevents denting and provides you with an incredibly durable sink that is sure to withstand even the toughest critics. Knowing the material of the sink, and how it is manufactured is key in purchasing to proper type of sink. Another feature that you should certainly look for is the satin finish that is included in all the Kraus Stainless Steel collections. This satin finish allows the sink to stand out as a strong design element, but also prevents scratching to the sink surface itself.

Consider the size of your sink. You should only consider sinks that can handle all of the tasks you plan to ask it to do. For example, the 32” by 19” by 10” is a dual compartment sink that provides the user with not just one size of sinks, but two! This allows us to complete tasks much more efficiently. This type of sink is also perfect for family looking to conserve water. If you have a smaller task to complete, but need a full sink of water, save water, by utilizing the smaller of the two.

Many sinks, especially all metal sinks, can also create a lot of noise when in use. While this sound can be somewhat masked by the cabinet below, this isn’t much of a fix. Kraus uses a padded and stone guard undercoat insulation over rubber pad to create a sound muffling system in essence. This does a great job at minimizing the noise from running water and banging dishes, or kitchen trying to get out of the bath.

As a final note, consider the benefits of an under mounted stainless steel sink. Under mounted sinks are just as easy to install and can be done with basic skills and knowledge and make for a very easy and seamless clean up providing you with a fast transition from counter top to sink.
