KINDRED STAINLESS STEEL Undermount Sinks

•Stainless steel thickness is measured in gauge. The lower the number, the thicker the stainless. Kindred Steel Queen product is typically 20 gauge...while Kindred Collection product is 18 gauge.

•We measure material thickness after forming the sink to ensure minimum standards are met. Some companies choose to measure thickness of the material before forming. We think our measurement makes more sense.

•It is the Chromium in stainless steel that gives this wonderful material its corrosion resistance. Chromium teams up with oxygen in the atmosphere to form an invisible film that resists rusting and staining.

•Kindred brand sinks are supplied with strainers...you don't have to buy them as an extra.

•Kindred Collection stainless product is the finest product that we make. This product line is made from 18 gauge stainless steel and carries the standard  Kindred Canada Limited, Limited Lifetime warranty.

•Stainless steel has a polished image. As an accent or total-look strategy, stainless is the new classic.

•Stainless steel sinks won't crack or chip and the natural resiliency of the material will pamper your china and crystal...not destroy them.

•Stainless steel is used in the medical field for surgical implants. How much more hygienic can you get?

•Smooth finishes are easier to clean. That's why the Kindred mirror finish can be maintained with soap and water.

•Stainless steel is a near perfect countertop material, used in professional kitchens where durability is important. It is heatproof, wipes clean easily, and is very hygienic
 

Cleaning and maintenance of stainless steel

Any cleaning or scrubbing to remove stubborn stains from the inside of the sink bowls, should follow the direction
of the grain line. Any scrubbing across the grain will show as a scratch. Scrubbing in the same direction as the grain
will blend in any surface scratches.

"The Don'ts"

Steel wools pads should never be used to clean your sink as they will leave a residue of small iron particles. They may
not even be readily visible, but they most certainly will lead to rusting and corrosion of the sink. ScotchBrite. scouring
pads are available for this purpose.
 
For similar reasons do not leave any mild steel or cast iron cookware or implements anywhere on the sink for extended
periods of time. The combined presence of iron and moisture with stainless steel can only lead to surface corrosion and
staining of the sink.
 
Do not leave rubber dish mats, wet sponges or cleaning pads in the sink overnight as they will trap water underneath which could lead to staining and discoloration of the sink surface. The unique properties of stainless steel are dependent upon exposure of the surface to the atmosphere.
 
Never use abrasive pads or cleaners on the mirror finish deck of the sink. They will scratch the finish.
THIS INCLUDES SCOTCHBRITE. PADS! KINDRED RECOMMENDS THAT SCOTCHBRITE.
PADS BE USED ONLY ON THE SIDES AND BOTTOM OF THE SINK BOWLS.
 
We don t recommend that you use chlorine bleach in your stainless steel sink, as chlorine will attack the protective layer that makes stainless steel truly stainless. The risk of damage is proportional to the concentration of the chlorine and the duration of exposure between the sink and the chlorine agent. Always dilute any antibacterial product used and wipe up any spills. Note: some antibacterial soaps may contain chlorine compounds.
 
Any accidental contact of the sink with photographic chemicals or soldering fluxes should be addressed by an immediate rinsing and cleaning of the sink.
 
Certain foods such as pickles, mayonnaise, mustard and salt laden foodstuffs can cause pitting of the sink surface if left unattended for prolonged periods.
 
Any drain cleaning products containing sulphuric or hydrochloric acid will attack the sink. Silver dip cleaners may contain strong acids which will attack the sink.
 
Do not use your sink as a cutting surface. Kindred Sinks offers solid wood cutting boards for this purpose.
 
Stainless steel bottom grids are available for many Kindred stainless steel sinks. These bottom grids protect the bottom of the bowl(s) from cutlery scratches, or marking from heavy kitchen utensils.
