Understanding 16-Gauge Stainless Steel and Small Radius Corners
When selecting a stainless steel sink, the gauge number refers to the thickness of the steel, where a lower number indicates a thicker, more resilient material. The 16-gauge construction used in this model is substantially thicker than standard residential sinks, similar to choosing a heavy-duty cast-iron skillet over a lightweight aluminum pan. This extra thickness absorbs daily impact from heavy pots and utensils without denting. Combined with small radius corners, you get the crisp, modern look of a zero-radius square sink while retaining slightly rounded edges that make wiping away food particles and everyday debris much easier.
Installation Guide
Work with a professional fabricator to ensure the countertop cutout matches the precise 15 by 15-inch undermount dimensions.
Apply a high-quality silicone sealant evenly around the rim before securing the sink to the underside of the countertop.
Connect the 3.5-inch drain assembly securely, ensuring all washers and gaskets are properly seated to prevent leaks.
Wipe down the stainless steel surface with a soft cloth after each use to maintain the brushed satin finish.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wash the stainless steel surface regularly with mild soap, warm water, and a soft microfiber cloth.
Rinse Thoroughly Always rinse the sink completely after using cleaning agents to prevent surface film buildup.
Avoid Abrasives Never use steel wool, wire brushes, or harsh scouring pads, as they will scratch the brushed satin finish.
Prevent Water Spots Dry the bowl with a clean towel after use to avoid mineral deposits and hard water spots.
Protect the Finish Rub gently in the direction of the grain lines if deep cleaning is necessary.
