The most common reason why the surface of stainless steel handmade sinks is prone to scratches is physical friction in daily use. The kitchen is a place that is used frequently in daily life, and various hard objects such as tableware, pots, knives, etc. often come into contact with the sink.

In the one-line kitchen layout, all work areas and equipment are arranged on one side of the wall. The stainless steel kitchen sink should be at least 6 inches (about 15 cm) away from the wall for easy cleaning, operation and daily maintenance.

A 27-inch stainless steel kitchen sink is usually suitable for medium-sized kitchens. For most families, this size of sink does not take up too much countertop space, but can effectively provide enough cleaning area.

The stainless steel kitchen sink is an important drainage channel for the family kitchen. Oil, food residues and other debris can easily enter the drainage pipe with the water flow. If it is not cleaned in time or there are structural problems, bacteria may breed and form odors.

Quartz sinks have high hardness and strong scratch resistance. Quartz has a Mohs hardness of nearly 7, which is better than stainless steel in resisting scratches in daily use. For those families with children or who often handle hard objects, quartz sinks are a more durable choice.

Salt is a substance that can accelerate metal corrosion, especially in humid environments. High concentrations of salt or long-term salt residues can cause corrosion or rust on the surface of the stainless steel kitchen sink.

The time it takes for a plumber to replace a kitchen stainless steel sink depends on multiple factors, including the type of sink, the complexity of the installation, and the site conditions. Generally speaking, it usually takes 2 to 4 hours to replace an ordinary kitchen stainless steel sink, but it may take longer in some complex cases.

If the kitchen is used frequently, such as in a large family or commercial kitchen, it would be more appropriate to choose a sink of 1.0 mm or thicker. This type of sink can maintain stable performance during long-term use and is not prone to deformation or damage. For families with less frequent use, sinks of 0.8 mm or 0.5 mm can also meet daily needs, but require more careful maintenance.

High-quality stainless steel sinks can resist chemicals such as acids and alkalis in the kitchen environment and are not easy to rust or oxidize. The sink is exposed to water, oil, detergent and other environments for a long time. If the corrosion resistance of the sink is not good, it is easy to produce water rust, stains, and even rust.

If you have a limited budget and pay attention to the durability, easy cleaning and functionality of the sink, a stainless steel sink is undoubtedly a more suitable choice. It is suitable for most ordinary families, especially for those who need to clean frequently and use frequently.
