Why is the chromium and nickel content of the sink important?
Stainless steel is an alloy made up of different metals. Nickel gives the stainless steel it strength and hardness while chromium gives it luster & durability. Our sinks contain 18% chromium and 10% nickel which are considered to be surgical grade stainless steel, due to its greater corrosive resistance. Compare us to some of the most famous brands which contain only 8% nickel and are much more expensive. You can easily tell the difference, as their sinks appear dull and grey and ours have a very desirable silver hue.
