Marketing InformationStainless steel is among the most durable materials available for kitchen sinks. It will not crack, peel or chip and is resistant to stains. The thickness, or gauge, of the steel contributes to the sink's resistance to scratches and dents. The thicker the steel, the more durable the sink will be. Stainless steel sinks are available in undermount, drop in and apron front designs, and you can find a range of shapes and bowl configurations, as well as double or single bowl sinks. You will also find a wide range of gauges. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel. Stainless steel complements most decorating styles and appliances, so it often is used in customized kitchen.
