When I'm remodeling a kitchen  I see that many home owners don't know the difference's
of stainless steel sinks. Well first off there is something called gauge, gauge is
referring to how thick that sink is. Don't look at it as in strength, look at it as
in noise. That tinny sound you get when you drop a fork in it. Not to mention the
thicker the better. The lower the gauge number the thicker the steal is.

SOUND DAMPING.

Many cheaper sink to come with a sound damping on the outside of the sink.
This can come as a spray on or a clued on mat like. Either one is better
then none at all.


 
DEPTH.

OK, this one is up to you. You know those cheap sinks you see at Home
Depot for like $19.99 Well chances are that they are very shallow, like
6 inches or so. So just how many dishes can you stack in that sink. OK,
better yet, how about when you turn the water on and it splatters back
out because the sink is to shallow. Humm, I'll take the deeper one myself.


PRICE..

This one you got to love, how is it that for $19.99 you can buy a sink
that looks good, but for the same sink but a few inches deeper you may
pay a lot more. I don't know, maybe I'm just missing something here.
Anyway, a stainless steel sink can be from anywhere from $10 to well
over $700. I  mean there is a difference, but WOW not that much.

 
So when you’re looking for a sink just look for those big words on the box.
GOOD, BETTER and BEST. I think better works for most of us.
