"I'd like to have 2 extra holes for an air gap and hot water dispenser and was wondering
if you can drill extra holes in my sink for me?"
Yes, we can do that. Just enter the number of additional (EXTRA) holes that you would like here = $50.00 .
Please note that we do not take back sinks where we have drilled holes and also that we do not
guarantee that we will drill the hole in the sink in any particular place. We will drill it where we feel best and
cannot promise to drill it in any exact/specific place on the sink. Please allow additional time if you
order additional holes in your sink. Once you place the order for a modified sink it is
your sink (we will charge your credit card and the order is non cancelable).
"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).
