Single bowl large kitchen sinks in stainless steel are hard to find. We have reviewed many stainless steel kitchen sinks and typically for kitchen sinks of this size, most manufacturers and consumers tend to lean towards double bowl kitchen sinks. Single bowl large kitchen sinks are also made in such materials as Silgranit from Blanco, and there are quite a number of farmhouse apron kitchen sinks in stainless steel which will work for these dimensions. 16 gauge stainless steel sinks are preferred for this size of sink.

This Kraus kitchen sink is manufactured from 16 gauge stainless steel, providing superior strength and stain resistance that will last for a great many years. The Kraus KHU100-32 sink is thicker than most stainless steel sinks on the market, which are only 18 or 20 gauge. For such a large kitchen sink bowl, you definitely want a thick stainless steel gauge to prevent popping and deformations. Check out more about 16 gauge kitchen sinks here. This heavier gauge means superior dent resistance and vibration damping and a less noisy kitchen when washing dishes and pots.

The top quality satin finish of the single bowl sink not only looks great, but also hides tiny scratches in the finish. With proper upkeep and care, this quality sink will keep looking its best for many years to come. Undermount kitchen sinks provide a smooth, seamless design and clean lines in your kitchen, and make housecleaning easy, since they lay flush with the counter top and have no obvious lip.

This Kraus undermount sink features a padded and Stone Guard undercoated insulation over a rubber pad on the bottom. This special treatment contributes to greatly improved sound absorption of running water, clanging dishes, fallen silverware and the noises from a garbage disposal. This modest best kitchen sink from Kraus is bound to keep the kitchen quiet and comforting for a great many years.

The 0.75-inch radius curved corners are easier to clean than zero radius kitchen sinks and provides that distinctive look – not quite traditional, but still has a contemporary style to it without the added cost of smaller radii.

The only concern that a small percentage of Kraus sink owners had about this kitchen sink is perhaps the slope of the bottom channels towards the drain may be a bit shallow, resulting in drainage concerns. This issue seems to be resolved by exercising additional care by washing down any debris with a kitchen faucet spray wand. For most customers, this was not an issue.
