A stainless steel sink is will be a great chance if you want to do the sink installation project on your own because the materials of stainless steel sink are affordable, easy to conduct and this kind of sink has a good-looking appearance. However, it is necessary to think twice before purchasing a stainless steel sink. You need to consider choosing which way of installation. Under-mount stainless steel sinks or drop-in stainless steel sinks? Hand-made stainless steel sinks or drawn stainless steel sinks? Single-bowl, double-bowl or triple-bowl? Besides, when it comes to the size of a stainless steel sink, we not only need to pay attention to how big the sink is, but also need to take notice of the gauge number of the stainless steel sink. You may be confused by the gauge number of a stainless steel sink. Now let’s discuss the gauge number of a sink thoroughly.


Gauge designates the thickness of a stainless steel sink
Actually, a gauge number is a designation of the thickness of a stainless steel sink. “Gauge” is often abbreviated to “G”. The gauge number usually ranges from 16G to 24G. And basically, the higher the number, the thinner the stainless steel sink.

Stainless steel sink: the thicker≠the better
You may think that the thicker the stainless steel sink, the better. In fact, that’s not correct. Thickness involves many process and design problems. For drawn stainless steel sinks, over-thickness will restrict the punching process so that deficiencies may be caused. Moreover, if the stainless steel sink is too thick, it will lose resilience, which offers protection for the tableware while you are doing dishes.

Which gauge of stainless steel sink should I get?
Lower-end thinner sinks are 22G or 23G. High-end thicker sinks can be 18G or 19G. Naturally, the better the stainless steel sinks, the higher the price. Therefore, you should balance the gauge number according to your budget.
