At Strictly Sinks every Top Mount Workstation Sink is hand-crafted from 304 16-Gauge Stainless Steel, which offers superior surface protection from scratching, staining and rusting. Equally important, the finish is done through a process called vapor deposition. Vapor deposition is a molecular bond between metals that binds the surface and materials used at their respected atomic levels. This is NOT a simple process and requires the expertise of highly qualified engineers and physicists. It's safe to say you'll love your Top Mount Workstation Sink.
