Moderately increasing the thickness can indeed enhance the stability and lifespan of the sink. However, beyond a certain range (such as exceeding 1.5mm), the benefits diminish significantly. For example: • Limited increase in strength from thicker sinks; • Significantly increased weight, making installation more difficult; • Increased cost, but little improvement in daily user experience.

Many people worry: Will stainless steel kitchen sinks be unstable when installed under the countertop? In fact, stainless steel undermount sinks are very reliable in terms of load-bearing capacity and durability. Compared to ceramic or granite sinks, stainless steel is lighter, placing less strain on the countertop and making undermount installation safer.

Many people, upon hearing "316 is better than 304," mistakenly believe that a higher-grade material must be more suitable for the kitchen. This is a common misconception. 304 can easily resist common kitchen irritants such as water, salt, alkali, and grease. The "extra corrosion resistance" of 316 is almost meaningless in a typical home environment.

Stamped sinks are formed from a single sheet of stainless steel using a large stamping machine, with the body and corners naturally shaped without welding. The manufacturing process for handmade sinks is completely different. Therefore, welds are an inevitable part of the structure of handmade stainless steel kitchen sinks.

Baking soda is a common and safe alkaline cleaner that has a neutralizing effect on rust. Instructions: • Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a paste. • Apply evenly to the rusted areas of the stainless steel kitchen sink. • Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then gently wipe with a soft sponge. • Rinse thoroughly and dry.

—The answer is not fixed; it depends on the usage environment, cleaning habits, and material. Generally speaking, a light polish every three to six months is suitable for most households. Frequent use or harsh environments may require a shorter period, while regular maintenance can extend the period.

The chromium oxide passivation film on the surface of stainless steel is key to preventing rust. Once this protective film is damaged by mechanical scratches, improper cleaning, or chemical corrosion, the exposed metal substrate reacts with moisture and oxygen in the air, resulting in rust spots.

When a stainless steel kitchen sink appears dull, it doesn't necessarily mean the metal has rusted. In fact, dullness often indicates a loss of gloss due to damage to the surface's protective film or the accumulation of contaminants. Once the passive film is damaged, water stains, dirt, and chemicals can more easily adhere, making the surface appear gray or dull.

Advantages of press-formed stainless steel kitchen sinks: 1. High strength 2. Complex geometries 3. Reduced springback and defects 4. Customizable material properties 5. Improved corrosion resistance 6. Easy cleaning and maintenance 7. Energy-saving and environmentally friendly

If you cook large meals or frequently handle fruits and vegetables, a 10-inch deep stainless steel sink provides more space. When washing ingredients, especially those that need to be soaked, the deep sink design allows them to better contain the food without spilling outside the sink.
