Stainless Steel Workstation Sinks by Rachiele

This isn't your parents' stainless steel sink!

Stainless steel sinks are no longer boring! Our stainless steel workstation sinks are not only gorgeous, but they allow you to do all of your food preparation within the confines of the sink. No more messy countertops, no more mess. Everything is done on the sink! The above sink is a hammered Rustic Matte stainless Signature Series Workstation sink with a rear deck and integral backsplash.

Our Rustic Matte finish means no more worry about scratches. For decades, the only finish for stainless steel sinks has been a semi-polished brushed finish. That finish is very susceptible to scratches and scuff marks. Worse yet, it is virtually impossible to remove those scratches and scuff marks. Generally, the first thing users do is to go out and purchase some sort of protective grid or mat for the bottom of the sink. My Rustic Matte finish eliminates all of those issues! A scratch or scuff mark is easily removed with a gray ScotchBrite pad (included with the sink). The sink will look new again in a matter of seconds. No need for protection. This sink has the ability to look new decades from now.

If you like the look of hammered nickel sinks and you don't want the issues of staining and the plating wearing off, our brushed hammered stainless workstation sinks are the choice!

By the way, we manufacture in Apopka, Florida and all of our metal is made in the USA. Watch out for stainless sinks from companies like Kohler, etc. Many are made in China!

Replacing your old under mount kitchen sink with ease!

Replacing that old sink that you hate!

Replacing an under mount sink while keeping the existing granite might seem like an impossible task. I have solved the problem. In fact, I replace an existing under mount sink just about every week - and have done so for almost two decades. 

The process is easier than you might think it is. First, email me a photo of your existing sink along with your phone number. I will have you take a couple of measurements. Once I have those measurements, I can discuss what type of sink you would like. We can build replacement sinks in copper and three different types of stainless steel. 

Wait a minute... Everyone knows a top mount sink is considered builder grade. What's more, it is difficult to wipe crumbs into a top mount sink. Problems are solved once more. My Signature Series sink design has interior ledges that allow for a metal drain grid and various cutting boards. All food preparation will be accomplished on the sink instead of the countertop. No more crumbs on the counter! No need to ever wipe from the counter top to the sink. As far as looking like a builder grade sink, just look at the profile of my sink. We have a raised architectural edge profile that puts the sink 5/16" above the height of the counter top. 

Now what? Once the decisions are made, a price is derived. If you would like to proceed, I will draw up the sink will all dimensions for you to review and approve. Once approved, your order will go into the production schedule. 

Once you receive the sink and inspect it for damage, the counter top can be cut on site. This is a simple project and generally takes no more than a couple of hours. I have had feedback from past clients ranging cost from $175 to $300 or so. One client decided to do the work himself (successfully).

The installation could not be simpler. Just drop the sink in the hole, adjust the location. Once you have the final location, take some tape and run it around the countertop so the edge of the tape aligns with the flange of the sink. Remove the sink and squeeze caulk along the inside edge of the tape. Replace the sink, remove the tape and clean up any excess caulk. Hook up the faucet and drain and you are done!

Copper Sink Reviews

Is it possible to review different brands of Copper Sinks and remain unbiased? I don't think so. That being said, you can do this yourself without outside influence. Here are some things to look for.

1. Warranty. How long is the warranty. What types of things are included and excluded from the warranty?
2. Country of Origin. It is important to know where the sink is made and where the metal comes from. 
3. Gauge. The lower the number, the thicker the metal.
4. Type of Copper. There are two basic types of copper. Annealed and cold rolled. Annealed copper is much softer than cold rolled copper.
5. Type of Finish. Is the interior finished with a top coat of any kind? Top coats will not last. When the interior of the sink finish is worn through, will the copper turn back to the original color? (Copper will always turn the color of an old penny)
6. Access to the Company. How easy is it to access the company by phone, email and fax?

If you do your homework, you will be pleased with the end result.
