How to Gauge Your Kitchen Sink?

Many people don't know the difference between a 16, 18 or even 20 gauge thickness of stainless steel. Even fewer people can tell you what gauge their kitchen sink is.

The thickness of stainless steel is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as gauge.The larger the gauge number the thinner the material, the smaller the number the thicker the material is and therefore more heavy duty and durable. 20 Gauge sinks used to be more common in the previous years, but eventually the standard minimum thickness for a quality kitchen sink became 18 gauge.

Lottare's B&B series sinks are the perfect balance of value and quality with no sacrificing style. Next, the 16 gauge sinks are typically used for higher end projects or where durability and longevity are a must. The true advantages to a thicker sink are that it lessens the chance of dents, dings, scuffs and scratches.

At Kitchen Zip, we only offer 18 gauge and thicker sinks. Our premium Lottare 16 gauge sinks are often used in luxury applications where the customer's tastes are truly discerning.

Kitchen Zip - Are You Modern?

Modern Elements make up the totality of new Kitchen Designs.

From sleek stainless steel lines to versatile yet functional faucet art, the pieces that combine to make a cohesive design statement are often centered around modern aesthetics.

The rustic quaintness of traditional kitchen design is fading away and being steadily replaced by a desire for all things modern and industrial. The stark functionality of commercial kitchen appliances is playing a direct role in shaping the new modern attitude towards kitchens. Pull down faucets, zero radius sinks, and stainless steel counter tops are just a few of the influences we are seeing cross-over from the restaurant kitchen to the home kitchen. Utility no longer has to be dull and boring, but instead can be inspiring and vibrant.

Kitchen Zip - The Materials that Matter

Most people go day to day without considering the materials that matter in their life.

Whether it is the simple curve of the stainless steel sink or the angular design of brass bathroom fixtures, we interact with these materials on a daily, hourly even momentary basis. These materials are the composition of what surrounds us and envelopes our world with convenience, utility and luxury. From the natural long lasting qualities of granite to the shiny chrome dipped finishes of metal we are affected and effect our world with the materials around us, the materials that matter.

When you go to pick out an item to put in your house, one that will be there even after you might move on, what do you think about? The look, the finish, the style, the price? But do you think about the material? The core of the item's genesis, the very essence of the product you hope to have installed. This material could be one that will last forever or it may be one of dubious origins that will rust, fade or crack down the road.

Knowing what your buying and why your buying it are the most important concepts for any serious home fixture shopper. The grade of stainless steel in your sink can make a major difference between having a clean bacteria free kitchen and having one filled with unwanted pests. Anything short of 304 stainless steel can possibly harbor bacteria and other nastiness, so make sure you get nothing less. People often take for granted the safety elements involved when picking out products for their home because they are simply not focused on what matters, the materials.

Kitchen Zip - How To Choose the Perfect Kitchen Sink

Kitchen sinks are one of the main focal points in any kitchen's décor. For homeowners with country style kitchens an apron sink or farmhouse sink will help to maintain a country kitchen look and feel. For contemporary style kitchens a stainless steel sink can add a sleek and modern look to the space. And Blanco sinks are available in an array of sizes, configurations and styles that can complement any home décor theme.

Sink Configurations

Regardless of the style of the sink you choose, when it comes to the configuration of a sink there are some factors to think about in order to ensure that you are using the right sink for your kitchen.   There are the highly popular single bowl or super single bowl sinks. These sinks are best suited for homes where there is a dish washer present. Then there is the 1-3/4 bowl sink. Depending on whether the homeowner is a lefty or a righty will determine which side of the sink has the larger opening. Next there is the equal double bowl sink. And then finally there is the option to have an entertainment bowl or bar sink. These sinks are usually added as a second sink in the kitchen and are used for preparation. Whatever kitchen sink configuration a homeowner wants, just remember it should fit into your lifestyle.

Kitchen Sink Installation
There are essentially two different ways to have a kitchen sink installed. The first way is by having an under-mount sink. This kind of installation looks clean and offers its users the ability to clean up faster with ease. When doing an under-mount installation, homeowners have the choice in deciding the amount of reveal they want. It's really personal preferences if there should be 1/8 positive reveal, greater than 1/8 or none at all. The second way to install a kitchen sink is by having an over-mount sink. When homeowners choose this method they don't have to cut into the countertop to have it installed. Blanco sinks, on the other hand, offer either a traditional or modern look using an over-mount approach. Some are so flush that it blends in with the countertop making for an easy cleanup.

Kitchen Sink Depth  Regardless of the style of sink you choose, the depth of the basin is important. The average sink is 7-8 inches deep, while some can go as deep as 10 inches. It is a good idea to know the cabinet dimensions to ensure the sink will fit. Sometimes when dealing with a shallow sink the faucets can be raised so that it accommodates larger pots.

Regardless of your application, know that there is a kitchen sink for every kitchen design. Blanco sinks are also very durable and can easily fit into any kitchen's design. With a new sink that can withstand the daily wear and tear, the kitchen has more functions. Also don't forget to look for kitchen sink accessories like cutting boards and custom fit protective grids. Now the kitchen can serve the home and the family better!
