This is commercial-grade, 16-gauge stainless steel, used in many high-end restaurants and more.
Walnut wood and this kitchen sink are made of 100% virgin 16-gauge stainless steel 304, not cheap recycled stainless steel found on Amazon or in low-end sinks.
A PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) kitchen sink uses nanotechnology to apply a thin, durable, decorative metal or ceramic layer. This coating imparts unique colors, increased hardness, and resistance to scratches and corrosion, and is eco-friendly.
PVD improves a sink’s look with vibrant colors like gunmetal, gold, and copper. It makes surfaces harder, resistant to scratches, acids, and salts, and easier to clean—resistant to fingerprints and smudges. The process is environmentally friendly.
How PVD works: a metal like chromium, titanium, or vanadium is vaporized in a vacuum, ionized, then accelerated to bond with the steel, forming a high-quality, protective layer.
Benefits include increased strength, longer lifespan, and design flexibility for a cohesive kitchen look.
