My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    No. The Microshield sinks are not sold online at this time. They are only available through wholesale distribution at this time- which we are! You'd have to contact us directly (not through HOUZZ) to process a Microshield order.


    This is Kraus's 16 gauge KBU14 (standard finish).

    Is microshield worth the additional cost? And what does it look like?

  • 8 years ago

    it looks like theres a plastic coating on the stainless with a million like fork stabbings in it im not kidding its textured not a normal smooth finish

    Right! It is textured, it's made to strengthen the finish of your sink by helping hide regular wear.
