How to Choose a Good Stainless Steel Sink?
What would you say if your consumers asked how to choose a good stainless steel sink? Check out the list below before making a suggestion.
Some basic design points of a stainless steel sink should be introduced.
Two categories
Stainless steel sinks are divided into drawn stainless steel sinks and handmade stainless steel sinks based on their different crafts.
Grade of stainless steel
As for the raw material of stainless steel, it’s a ferrous alloy that contains a certain proportion of chromium. With the grades of 201/202/304/316 in the market, SUS-304 is the best and most common raw material for stainless steel sinks.
The thickness of the stainless steel sink
The thickness of a stainless steel sink is much related to its quality, which cannot be ignored. As we know, “G” is used to present the thickness of a stainless steel sink. We have recently updated an article about it on our website with the title of “Thickness of Handmade Stainless Steel Sinks”.
Surface finish
The surface finish of a stainless steel sink is a very subtle process. It can be a hand-hammered finish, smooth and bright finish, or matte finish. The surface will make a difference in appearance and even user’s experience in the future.
Apart from informing your consumers of the above design points, you need to understand your consumers’ requirements and preferences.
Installation
Under-mount or top-mount installation. Which way suits your consumers and do they prefer?
Bowls
Stainless steel sinks can be single-bowl, double-bowl and even trip-bowl.
Size
The size of a kitchen should be considered when deciding on the size of a stainless steel sink.
Color and shape
Although stainless steel sinks have much less selectivity in color and shape than other kinds of sinks, we need to make a small trade-off. Take Symbol’s stainless steel sinks as an example, we have grey, rose gold and black in color, and square, round and rectangular in shape.
Prices
Stainless steel sinks are usually regarded as the most cost-effective. And there’s a slight difference between handmade stainless steel sinks and drawn stainless steel sinks in price. Handmade stainless steel sinks usually have higher prices than drawn stainless steel sinks.
