Understanding 18-Gauge Stainless Steel Durability
When selecting a stainless steel sink, the gauge rating is often misunderstood. The 18-gauge construction of this model means the steel sheet is thick enough to resist denting from dropped pots and pans, yet maintains a refined profile. Think of it like armor plating for your countertop workspace, balancing sturdy impact resistance with everyday resilience so the basin holds its shape and finish through years of heavy culinary activity.
Installation Guide
Review all included DIY installation instructions before starting your undermount setup.
Ensure your cabinet base and countertop cutouts align with the 24.75-inch width and 18.75-inch depth specifications.
Verify that your plumbing layout accommodates the rear center drain placement and a wall mount faucet configuration.
Seal the perimeter carefully between the undermount rim and the underside of the countertop to prevent moisture seepage.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Rinse the sink thoroughly after each use and wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots on the chrome finish.
Routine Washing Use a mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge to clean the stainless steel surface regularly.
Stain Removal For stubborn spots, apply a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the metal grain.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use steel wool, wire brushes, or abrasive scouring powders, as they will scratch and dull the finish.
Prevent Rust Marks Do not leave iron or cast-iron cookware sitting wet in the basin for extended periods.
