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.

Kraus vs Ruvati undermount Stainless Steel sink

4 years ago

Trying to decide between the Kraus Standart Pro and the Ruvati Gravena for my laundry room. I was going to get the Julien, but couldn't justify the expense for a sink that will be used mostly to bathe my dog. While the reviews are mostly very positive on both, I have read some issues with rusting which I don't want. Any experience positive or negative is appreciated. I'm looking for a large single bowl 10 inch deep sink. Other suggestions also welcome.

    We have installed Ruvati single-bowl kitchen sinks in the kitchens of our duplex; one unit is our home, plus a third one in a rental unit. I have never had a rust problem. I believe they're 18/10 stainless, which shouldn't ever rust. They are 16 gauge and well insulated. Love the sinks, but wish there was just a tiny bit more slope toward the drain, which might make them easier to keep clean. I am constantly sweeping debris from cooking and cleaning into the drain.
