Undermount stainless steel kitchen sinks are installed below the countertop and secured in place with a silicon-based adhesive. This installation method is popular for customers who have counters of granite, marble, or other stone materials because the edge of the countertop opening remains visible. Not only are undermount sinks considered aesthetically pleasing, they are also hygienic options because their rimless installation allows remnant water or food debris to be swept directly into the sink.
MR Direct stainless steel undermount kitchen sinks are made to last. Depending on the model chosen, our stainless steel sinks can be as thin as 24 gauge, or as hefty as an industrial-strength 14 gauge. Only steel in the 300 series is used, and almost all models are made of the finest quality 304 grade. No condensation problems will occur because of the insulation of our sinks, and any noise is significantly reduced by pads applied on the exteriors. Inside and out, a satiny brushed appearance adds beauty and reduces the visibility of any minor scratches.
On a weekly basis, cleaning is as easy as applying a gently abrasive cleanser with a soft sponge or cloth, followed by rinsing and drying. The only daily requirement to avoid hard water spots is to rinse down and dry after each use. MR Direct does not recommend using harsh cleansers as the added chemicals in many products can ruin the luster of the metal.
