Perfect For
Modern kitchen remodels seeking a sleek, contemporary aesthetic
Compact cooking spaces requiring an efficient single bowl setup
Home cooks who value quiet food preparation and dishwashing
Kitchen sinks often act as amplifiers for the clatter of silverware, running faucets, and clanging pots, creating unwanted household noise. NoiseDefend technology solves this by lining the exterior of the stainless steel basin with thick, high-performance sound-absorbing pads. Think of it like acoustic insulation inside a recording studio wall; the specialized material absorbs vibrational energy before it can echo through your cabinetry, turning a loud, tinny workspace into a quiet, solid zone for meal prep.
Installation Guide
Review the included cutout template and mounting hardware carefully before beginning the undermount installation process.
Ensure your base cabinet measures at least 24 inches wide to properly accommodate the exterior sink dimensions.
Wipe down the sink basin regularly with a mild dish soap and a soft sponge to preserve the radiant pearl finish.
Utilize the included stainless steel bottom grid to protect the basin floor from scratches caused by heavy cookware.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Rinse the sink thoroughly after each use and wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Stain Removal Use a mild liquid detergent and warm water for routine cleaning, avoiding harsh chemical bleach.
Scuff Maintenance Clean along the grain of the circular brushed finish using a non-abrasive nylon pad if minor marks appear.
Grid Care Periodically lift and clean the stainless steel bottom grid to prevent residue accumulation underneath.
Avoid Harsh Tools Never use steel wool, wire brushes, or abrasive scouring powders that can dull the stainless steel surface.
