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 - Pull Down Faucets

The commercial design trend has found its way to kitchen faucets.

Most people are familiar with pull out faucets, but a growing number of kitchen faucet models are designed as pull down styles. There are advantages to both, but pull down styles normally have more height and reach. the aesthetic value of a pull down faucet is usually found in its commercial appeal.

Most restaurant kitchen utilize a pull down design because one its more convenient and two it gives the washer more flexibility when it comes to positioning the faucet nozzle. The convenience comes in the form of the nozzle being right where the washer needs it, so releasing the nozzle means that it is simple hanging waiting to be used.

People who wash larger pots and pans find that a pull down style faucet makes it easier for them to use and distribute the water. This directional value with the added height make for the best of both worlds. Almost all of the pull down faucets offer a nozzle arm that, while not in use, holds the spray nozzle in place. Also most designs incorporate a spring or coiled faucet hose that allows for omnidirectional movement.

Now the combination of utility and form bring the convenience of a commercial style faucet to the home kitchen.

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.
