Are there different types of stainless steel for sinks?

Yes. That's why some steel sinks look bright and shiny at first, but soon rust or corrode. Therefore, the premium-grade steel we select for our high-end residential sinks is stainless steel Type 304. It combines chromium and nickel in exactly the right proportions for superior corrosion resistance and durability. And it's the blend that allows the sink to be formed into the dramatic shapes you'll find in the Elkay line. You'll also find that this steel "gives" a little, reducing the chance of dish breakage.

How important is the steel's thickness?
Very. The thicker the steel, the less susceptible it is to denting, bowing, noise transmission and the hard knocks of pots and pans. The thickness, called "gauge", can be confusing at first, because the lower the number, the thicker the steel. Elkay sinks are made in either 18 or 20 gauge steel (18 gauge being the thicker of the two) -- more than ample thickness for residential sinks.

 
 Elkay USA is the industry leader in the manufacture of stainless steel residential and commercial sinks. Elkay's stainless steel sinks are durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean. After the initial die-drawn production, each sink is buffed, sanded and polished (much of it by hand) to a perfect finish. These gleaming, durable sinks are manufactured in numerous styles and finishes that serve many functions and can complement any décor. From single to triple bowl design, extra large bowls, and the versatility of top-mounts or under-mounts, Elkay produces the sinks that can truly meet any need.
