Understanding NoiseDefend Sound Technology in 16 Gauge Stainless Steel
When water hits a standard metal sink or heavy pots clang against the basin, it can create an echoing, disruptive clatter throughout the house. Think of it like a drum skin, where thin metal vibrates freely when struck. To solve this, the Kraus Kore workstation features NoiseDefend technology, utilizing extra-thick sound-absorbing pads strategically placed on all sides of the sink, paired with a protective undercoating. This dampens the acoustic energy just like insulation in a recording studio wall, transforming sharp metallic clatter into a muted, dull thud so you can work quietly without disturbing the rest of the home.
Installation Guide
Carefully measure your custom farmhouse cabinet cutout and ensure the 36-inch apron front aligns properly before permanent mounting.
Apply a high-grade silicone sealant around the perimeter of the sink rim during installation to prevent moisture seepage into cabinetry.
Connect your plumbing components to the 3 1/2-inch rear off-set drain opening, ensuring proper alignment with existing drain pipes.
Wipe down the stainless steel basin after each heavy use session to maintain its rust-resistant finish and prevent mineral buildup.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the stainless steel surface clean using a soft sponge or microfiber cloth with warm water and mild dish soap.
Rinsing Always rinse the sink thoroughly after washing away soapy water or food particles to prevent film buildup.
Drying Towel dry the basin periodically after use to prevent water spots and keep the finish looking bright.
Preventing Scratches Use a protective bottom grid if available, and always scrub in the direction of the metal grain lines rather than in circles.
Avoiding Harsh Chemicals Never use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or chlorine bleach on the stainless steel surface, as they can cause dulling or pitting.
