When it comes to updating the kitchen sink, it can be overwhelming to decide what material to choose from. Kitchen sinks come in a variety of materials like cast iron, fire clay, granite composite, quartz, natural stone, copper, and stainless steel. All of these materials have their pros and cons, but the one that stands out among the rest as the most popular is stainless steel.
There is a reason stainless steel ranks number one in the kitchen sink popularity contest. Most people want a sink that is durable, easy-to-clean, quiet, affordable, and stylish. Unlike other materials, stainless steel can put a check next to everything on that wishlist.
This is why, we at Ruvati, have made stainless steel the material of choice for our products. In our ongoing mission to provide only the highest quality, stylish, and affordable products to our customers, stainless steel seemed like a no-brainer.
Here are a few reasons why Ruvati Stainless Steel makes the best choice:
Porcelain, cast iron, and acrylic sinks can be easily dulled and damaged by sharp objects and impacts like dropping heavy objects or not handling the sink correctly during installation. However, stainless steel is an alloy made up of many materials, such as chromium and nickel, making it more durable and resistant to daily use. In fact, stainless steel is very resistant to rust, heat, stains, odors, peeling, cracking, chipping, and many chemicals.
However, not all stainless steel is created equal. You may notice when shopping around that most stainless steel products will have a gauge measurement next to them. A gauge is simply the measurement of how thick the stainless steel is. The lower the number, the thicker and stronger the sink is.
Most Ruvati sinks, like the RVH8000 pictured to the left, are made from a superior 16 gauge stainless steel, unlike most other sinks that are made from weaker gauges.
Another quality that puts Ruvati sinks above the rest is a special undercoating on each sink that prevents condensation damage to the areas around your sink. This will ensure your peace of mind that your Ruvati sink won’t cause damage to your pipes, floors, or under-cabinet area.
Hassle-free Cleaning
All sinks are going to require some degree of cleaning and upkeep; however, stainless steel, yet again, ranks at the top for easy-to-clean materials. Check out our Sink Care Guide to see more on how to care for your Ruvati kitchen sink.
Not only do stainless steel sinks clean-up easily, but the combination of materials used to create the alloy of stainless steel, much as the name suggests, means your sink will not stain or rust over time. To prove it, we’ve added a Lifetime Rust-free Guarantee to each of our sinks for even more peace of mind.
Sound Dampening
While stainless steel sinks have many positive aspects to them, there is one con: noise. An ordinary stainless steel sink can create quite a ruckus when placing dishes and pots in it. This can not only be aggravating but also disruptive to the rest of your household.
Not to worry, Ruvati has solved this problem by adding heavy-duty sound guard padding to each sink, which makes the sink much quieter than the average kitchen sink.
Affordable
Unlike other materials, stainless steel remains one of the lowest-priced materials for sinks, while not sacrificing quality and style, proving that sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too. At Ruvati, we do everything with our customers in mind, so even if you are on a tight budget, stainless steel kitchen sinks are the ideal choice for your kitchen update.
Stylish
The look of a stainless steel sink is one that never goes out of style and, best of all, stainless steel finish goes with just about everything. Whether you have a super traditional or modern kitchen, a Ruvati stainless steel kitchen sink, like the RVH9200 pictured to the right, will provide the perfect complement to any kitchen.
Each Ruvati kitchen sink features a luxurious satin finish that not only adds to the sink’s beauty, but also provides a great way to hide any water stains, finger prints or small scratches that may occur.
Stainless steel is one of the most durable materials for kitchen sinks. For almost a century, stainless steel sinks have been the sink of choice for American kitchens.
