Perfect For
Busy family kitchens requiring reliable double bowl food prep space
Modern kitchen remodels focused on clean undermount aesthetics

Clean-up stations needing an easy-maintenance stainless steel surface
When selecting a stainless steel sink, the gauge number often causes confusion among homeowners. In manufacturing, a lower gauge number actually denotes a thicker sheet of steel. An 18 gauge stainless steel sink strikes an optimal balance, offering substantial thickness that absorbs the impact of dropped pots and pans while remaining lightweight enough for straightforward undermount installation. Think of it like a sturdy baking sheet compared to thin foil; the heavier 18 gauge material resists dents and muffles the loud clatter of running water, ensuring your kitchen remains a quiet, durable workspace for years to come.
Installation Guide
Review all included DIY installation instructions and hardware provided in the box before beginning your project.
Verify countertop cutout dimensions match the 28.25-inch width and rectangular shape specifications of the sink.
Apply a high-grade silicone sealant evenly around the upper rim of the sink for a watertight undermount seal against the countertop.
Connect your deck mount faucet and 3 1/2-inch drain assemblies carefully, ensuring all gaskets are properly seated to prevent leaks.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the stainless steel basins with warm water and wipe dry with a soft microfiber cloth after each use to prevent water spots.
Routine Cleaning Use a mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge to clean the surface, wiping in the direction of the metal grain.
Stain Removal For stubborn spots, apply a baking soda paste and gently rub with a soft sponge before rinsing thoroughly.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or chlorine bleach cleaners, as they can scratch and dull the chrome finish.
Prevent Rust Transfer Do not leave wet cast iron pans or metallic utensils sitting on the sink surface for extended periods.
