When running water hits a standard stainless steel sink, it often creates a loud, resonant drum effect throughout the kitchen. The Rohl RSS1718SB solves this through an applied quiet coat insulation layer on the exterior of the basin. Think of it like adding heavy acoustic insulation to a recording studio wall; the dense coating absorbs kinetic energy from flowing water and clattering utensils, converting that vibration into subtle, muted sound. This engineering detail ensures your kitchen remains peaceful even during heavy cleanup sessions.
Installation Guide
Plan your undermount installation carefully, ensuring cabinet support framing can hold the 29-pound weight of the stainless steel sink plus water loads.
Use the included mounting brackets to secure the sink firmly against the underside of your solid surface countertop.
Apply a high-grade silicone sealant around the perimeter rim during final mounting to create a watertight seal against the countertop underside.
Connect your standard 3 1/2-inch drain assembly and plumbing trap according to local codes, checking all joints for leaks.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the stainless steel basin dry with a soft microfiber cloth after each use to prevent water spots.
Gentle Washing Use mild dish soap and warm water with a non-abrasive sponge to clean everyday residues.
Rinse Thoroughly Always rinse the sink thoroughly after using harsh cleaning agents or chlorine-based sanitizers to protect the brushed finish.
Avoid Steel Wool Never use steel wool, wire brushes, or abrasive scouring pads, as they will scratch the stainless steel surface.
Prevent Rust Spots Avoid leaving wet cast iron cookware or iron utensils sitting directly on the stainless steel bottom for extended periods.
