stainless steel sinks are crafted from premium 18-20 gauge 304 stainless steel (18/8 chrome-nickel content), making them highly resistant to scratches, stains, and chips—one of the most durable options available. They feature a fine brushed finish for enhanced sheen and luster, plus a full undercoat with noise-reduction padding to minimize sounds from running water or dropped utensils. The Brushed Stainless Steel double-bowl undermount model includes a larger D-shaped bowl on the left side, perfect for any modern kitchen.
