Pretty stainless kitchen sink

last year

Can someone recommend a shiny, but not blindingly so, stainless kitchen sink for my new traditional white kitchen. I don’t want a workstation sink and around 25 “ is fine. I just saw an Elkay sink and it was as dull as the 20 year old sink.

Shiny is going to vex you. The only ”negative” where stainless steel is concerned - and i don’t consider it a negative really - is that it scratches. If your finish is polished, you will see the scratches that come from normal use. If your finish is brushed or matte, you will probably never see a scratch. That’s why quality stainless sinks are slightly matte in appearance. And twenty years from now they will look like new.

BTW, Elkay makes a good quality sink. Some of their sinks are still made in the US, and Elkay pioneered the process of stamping a sink from a single sheet of metal. This is their undermount lustertone sink, which is 18 guage stainless, but has sound deadening sprayed underneath.

Exactly! When contractor told me to replace my slightly matte Elkay sink I told him I had better uses for $600.00. Five years on and I know I did the correct thing to keep that sink.
