Q. What kind of stainless steel does Pelican Sinks use?
A. All of our stainless steel sinks are created with 304 Series Stainless Steel. 304 Series or “surgical grade” stainless steel is non-porous, hygienic, rust-free and extremely durable. This premium grade of stainless steel is considered to be the best formulation for residential sink manufacturing.
Q. What does the gauge of the stainless steel mean?
A. The gauge is the thickness of the stainless steel. An easy rule of thumb is, the lower the number of the gauge, the thicker and better the stainless steel. Therefore, 16 gauge is better than 18 gauge and 18 gauge is better than 20 gauge. Most or our stainless steel sinks are available in either 18 gauge or 16 gauge. Our Handmade Series and Platinum Series are all 16 gauge.
Q. What kind of finish does Pelican stainless steel sinks have?
A. Our stainless steel sinks have what is called a satin brushed finish. This elegant finish creates an enduring, easy-to-clean luster that is impervious to water stains and calcium deposits. Our Platinum Series stainless has what is called a satin polished finish which has a more smooth appearance.
Q. What kind of undercoating do Pelican Stainless Steel sinks have?
A. All of our stainless steel sinks have an undercoating applied to them and are all fitted with sound deadening pads. Both features help deaden sound attenuation and act to reduce condensation buildup on the bottom of the sink that could lead to moisture problems in the base cabinet that the sink is installed in.
Q. Why is certification of your stainless steel sink so important?
A. Your kitchen sink needs to be certified to guarantee the quality of the stainless steel and to ensure that the sink has been tested by an approved IAPMO testing facility. This additional testing is extremely important. You want to make sure that the sink that what you are putting in your kitchen meets or exceeds the requirements set forth in ASME A112.19.3-2000 stainless steel plumbing fixtures. We have submitted our entire product line for testing and we have been certified.
