Stainless Steel Gauge

• KOHLER® and STERLING® stainless steel sinks are made from 16- to 21-gauge type 304 and 301 stainless steel.

• The stainless steel is made of a chrome and nickel alloy that assures the sinks provide exceptional resistance to stains and corrosion.

• The lower the gauge, the thicker the steel. Thick steel is less likely to dent and is more sound resistant.

• Premium KOHLER sinks are made from 18- and 19-gauge stainless steel.

SilentShield® and SilentShield Plus

• SilentShield sound-deadening pads are applied to all STERLING and all KOHLER kitchen sinks.

• The pads are made of a rubber compound and significantly reduce noise from clanging dishes and from running water and disposals.

• SilentShield Plus reduces condensation and helps maintain water temperature, in addition to providing the same sound-absorption quality that SilentShield sinks feature.

Sink Finishes

• Most KOHLER stainless steel bathroom, kitchen, utility, and bar sinks have a standard finish (-NA).

• Some sinks have two different finish options: Mirror finish (-MU) and Luster (satin) finish (-SU).
