The Types of Stainless Steel<br />
Stainless steel is well suited to commercial applications. The properties of<br />
stainless steel are such that is hard wearing, hygienic, easy to clean, heat<br />
resistant, rust resistant, and as the name implies, stainless. And stainless<br />
steel can not chip, fade or wear off like other materials such as porcelain<br />
or enamel coated products.<br />
Stainless steel is available in many gauges, compositions and finishes.<br />
20 gauge, 18-8 stainless steel<br />
• A good quality steel with 18% chromium and 8% nickel content.<br />
This type of stainless steel is typically used for sinks that are<br />
8" deep or less<br />
18 gauge, 18-10 stainless steel<br />
• A heavier weight stainless with 18% chromium, and 10% nickel. This<br />
type of stainless steel results in the ability to draw a deeper sink bowl<br />
14 and 16 gauge stainless steel<br />
• Most often used in fabrication of institutional sinks such as kitchen<br />
sculleries, wallmount washup sinks, mop and service sinks.<br />
Kindred Commercial Vandal-Resistant Securityware products are<br />
fabricated from heavy duty 14 gauge stainless steel for the utmost in<br />
durability. See Section 18 of this catalogue for more information on<br />
our line of Securityware products.<br />
Type 316 stainless steel<br />
• A corrosion resistant steel, and is intended for applications such as<br />
labs where acids and other corrosive materials are present.<br />
Bowl Finishes<br />
Bowl finishes on Kindred Commercial product range from brush to satin.<br />
A brush finish, typically found on vanity basin bowls is easy to clean and<br />
has a soft luster. A satin finish is somewhat more aggressive, with a<br />
definite grain line. This type of finish is practical, particularly in a heavy<br />
use application, as any scratches may be blended into the grain line.<br />
Deck Finishes<br />
Kindred Commercial products have two distinct finishes by product type.<br />
Our vanity basins have a mirror deck finish, which is very bright and<br />
shiny. This finish is the most common on faucets and soap dispensers<br />
used in public washrooms.<br />
All of our other commercial products have a satin finish deck, which will<br />
stand up to the rigors of time and repeated use, and the natural grain of<br />
the steel will disguise any scratches acquired from use.<br />
