2. Easy to Clean

It won't stain or scratch easily, which means that homeowners don't have to carefully choose cleaners. With just a regular wipe, the stainless steel sink will last as long as new.

3, Easy Maintain

Stainless steel sink requires little maintenance. This is due to most stainless steel sink is usually made from a single sheet of sinks steel. Dampen a soft cloth and sprinkle some of the cleanser on it. After going over the entire sink with the cleanser, rinse off the excess.

4, impact Resistance

Stainless steel is relatively hard, with extensibility, and can withstand certain impact forces. Conversely, some sinks are very hard but brittle(such as enamel sinks and fireclay sinks) can easily cracked by impact. A simple example helps everyone understand.  Glass is very hard. Usually we use diamond to cut it, but glass is also very brittle at the same time, a small stone will cause it to break.

5, Light Weight, Easy to Install

Homeowners are most worried about the huge weight of the sink when filled with water. Especially the under-mount sink, the supporting force comes from a few screws below the stone countertop. Many people install an under-mount and apron sink and have to support it below the sink. Although steel looks heavy, it is much lighter than other popular sink materials such as granite.

6. Various Installation Styles

Stainless steel is suitable for bending. Different bending will create many installation methods for the sink: Handmade sink, apron sink, under-mount, insert, layon, layout.

7, Various Bowl Styles

Due to the extensibility of stainless steel, steel sheet can be made in many styles. For all these styles, we only need to change the mold, while adjusting the thickness and size of the steel plate. Single bowl, double bowl, single bowl with drainer, double bowl with drain-board, single bowl with double drain. Sinks made of other materials, of course, can also be used to change the shape of the product through the mold (such as fireclay sinks), these products usually have a high damage rate. Consumers may say that it doesn't matter to me, all I need is good quality products. However, high breakage rates mean expensive.

8. Optional Surface Finsh

Because stainless steel has both hardness and extension, stainless steel sinks can have many surface treatments. And even the same method, produces different effects due to different brightness, which is a difficult characteristic for other materials. Common are: brushed satin, satin, polished, electrolysis, decor, matt, electroplated.
