"Please explain the best gauge of stainless, which is longer lasting, i.e. luster, mirror finish, etc?"
The lower the number, the thicker the material. In our opinion, 22 gauge is bare minimum - builder quality.
During the manufacturing process, stainless steel sinks are "stamped" into shape. That means that the material stretches
and therefore the corners can be very thin. We suggest at least 20 gauge and preferably 18 gauge. Stainless can scratch and with a mirror finish those scratches will show.
We recommend that you do not purchase any brand mirror finished stainless sink (no matter what the price or claimed quality).
"Do you stock every sink from Kindred that is listed?"
We have listed most all of the stainless sinks that Kindred makes. No one could stock them all. Many are in stock, but some will take
some time to get to you. When you place an order for your Kindred sink(s) we will let you know within 24 hours (Mon-Fri)
whether that sink is in stock, and if it isn't, how long it will be before we ship it. If time is a major factor in your decision,
then please place your order with written comments that state the longest that you can wait. We will then let you know (within 24 hours Mon-Fri)
if we cannot meet your deadline. Some unusual sizes can take up to 4-5 weeks for Kindred to actually make the sink.
"What is the quality of Kindred like? Is it worth the money?"
We think Elkay, Revere and Kindred make some of the finest quality stainless steel sinks made.
