The Gunmetal 304 SS Drop-in Workstation Sink redefines kitchen functionality with its integrated design and industrial durability. Crafted from 16-gauge (1.5mm thick) 304 stainless steel, this drop-in sink features a sleek gunmetal PVD finish that combines modern aesthetics with exceptional corrosion resistance. The workstation design incorporates built-in accessories including a cutting board, colander, and dish drying rack that fit seamlessly into the sink's ledge, creating a versatile food preparation center. With exterior dimensions of 33x22 inches and a bowl depth of 10 inches, it provides ample space for large cookware while maintaining a streamlined profile that fits standard cabinetry. Ideal for home chefs and busy families, this gunmetal workstation sink merges style, convenience, and durability in one innovative package.
Made from high-grade 304 stainless steel with a 16-gauge (1.5mm) thickness, this sink offers superior strength and resistance to dents and scratches. The 304 alloy contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and preventing rust even with prolonged exposure to water, food acids, and cleaning agents. Unlike thinner 18 or 20-gauge sinks, the 16-gauge construction ensures quiet operation and structural stability, maintaining its shape under heavy use.
The sink features an advanced physical vapor deposition (PVD) finish that creates a durable gunmetal gray surface with a subtle matte texture. This industrial-chic finish resists fingerprints, water spots, and discoloration, maintaining its appearance with minimal maintenance. The PVD process bonds the finish molecularly to the stainless steel, creating a surface that is 3x harder than standard stainless steel and resistant to chipping, peeling, or fading—even with heavy use of pots, pans, and utensils.
The sink's innovative workstation ledge system transforms the sink into a complete food preparation center, featuring a precision-machined groove that supports a variety of accessories. Included components typically consist of a bamboo cutting board that fits flush with the sink surface, a stainless steel colander for washing produce, and a drying rack for dishes or cookware. These accessories slide along the ledge, allowing seamless transitions between food prep, washing, and drying without cluttering counter space.
Equipped with heavy-duty sound-absorbing pads on the underside and a protective rubber undercoating, the sink minimizes noise from running water, dishwashing, and utensil impacts. This acoustic insulation reduces noise by up to 40% compared to standard stainless steel sinks, creating a quieter kitchen environment. The undercoating also provides thermal insulation, preventing condensation buildup on the underside of the sink that can damage cabinetry.
Begin by ensuring your cabinetry can support the sink's weight—approximately 50 pounds empty, and significantly more when filled with water. The minimum cabinet size required is 36 inches to accommodate the 33x22 inch sink with proper clearance.
Turn off the water supply to the kitchen and disconnect the existing sink's plumbing connections. Remove the old sink by cutting through any silicone sealant and loosening the mounting clips from below the countertop.
Prepare the countertop cutout, ensuring it matches the sink's template (typically 31.5x20.5 inches for a 33x22 inch sink). For new installations, follow the manufacturer's template; for replacement, ensure the existing cutout is compatible or modify as needed.
Apply a continuous bead of high-quality silicone sealant around the perimeter of the cutout on the countertop surface. Carefully lower the sink into the cutout, ensuring it is centered and level with the countertop surface. Press firmly to set the sealant.
Secure the sink from below using the provided mounting clips, spacing them approximately 8-10 inches apart around the perimeter. Tighten the clips until the sink is firmly secured but not so tight that it warps the sink or damages the countertop.
Connect the drain assembly and plumbing fixtures according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring all connections are watertight. Allow the silicone sealant to cure for 24 hours before using the sink, then test for leaks by running water and checking all connections.
Clean the sink daily with warm water and mild dish soap using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals that can damage the PVD finish. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically formulated for stainless steel, applying with a soft cloth and rinsing thoroughly. Wiping the sink dry after use helps prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
The stainless steel accessories are heat-resistant up to 400°F, allowing them to safely handle hot foods and cookware. The bamboo cutting board should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 150°F to prevent warping or damage. Always use trivets for extremely hot items directly from the stove or oven.
Yes, the sink is designed to accommodate most standard garbage disposals. The drain opening is 3.5 inches, the industry standard size for disposal compatibility. For optimal performance, a ½ horsepower or higher disposal is recommended, especially if frequently handling large food waste volumes.
The gunmetal PVD finish creates a darker, more matte appearance than traditional stainless steel, but it complements most stainless steel appliances through its metallic undertones. For a cohesive look, consider pairing with gunmetal or matte black kitchen hardware, or mix metals for a contemporary aesthetic that combines gunmetal with chrome or brass accents.
