Vigo Under Mount Double Bowl Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink VG3221R

Stainless steel kitchen sinks has remained a residential top choice in kitchens for years and years. Even before stainless steel found its way into our neighborhood homes, commercial kitchens had already recognized its unique qualities in the kitchen. This, we believe, is why stainless steel has been, and will remain, one of the first choices in kitchens today – both residential and commercial. Stainless steel options in your home, such as the Vigo Under-Mount Double Bowl Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink model number VG3221R provide three benefits comparable to other products: visual aesthetics, longevity, and usability, all of which we will take a closer look at. But stainless also provides for a fourth category, which other materials do not often account for: safety. We will fist have a look at safety.

Stainless steels greatest attribute, and what first brought this fascinating material to commercial kitchens was it non-porous surface. Among other unique qualities, its ability to resists liquids makes it the ideal choice for restaurants working hard to keep up safety codes. Salmonella, for example, can be removed with a bit of ammonia or bleach quickly, as compared with wood surfaces or even ceramic surfaces, which do not function with the same non-porous abilities. Another safety feature of stainless is its resistance to cutting. When cutting into a wood cutting board, or a ceramic or stone sink, small (sometimes non visible) cuts are made in the material, making a great hide out for germs and bacteria. However this steel material will not allow for such cuts, eliminating sneaky hiding places for this bacteria and germs.

As for visual appeal, we have mentioned how stainless steel got its big break in commercial kitchens around the world. Residential homeowners love the look of a commercial kitchen – opening the door to this new material to enter the realm of residential design. The Vigo Under Mount Double Bowl Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink is a shining example of such a beautiful material. The sleek look as provided in this remarkable kitchen sink is quite stunning with reflective qualities that work in both contemporary and traditional spaces.

Durability, as similarly mentioned when we discussed safety, provides for a solid material that is resistant to scratching, preventing the spread of germs through unexpected hiding places. However stainless steel has become a “mom favorite” over the years due to its resistance to dent, fade, and stain. Any soccer mom knows how much use a kitchen sink can see, and how many chances there are to stain a fabulous sink like this one. This 18-gauge stainless steel provides an answer to those messy stains. Often homeowners will replace their ceramic or stone sinks as they begin to face and look warn. Fortunately, owners of the stainless steel sink will enjoy a reflective metal that will always look refreshed with just a quick cleaning.

Usability has to be another one of this Vigo Under Mounted Double Bowl Stainless Steel Sink’s attributes. Under mounted design allows for a literally seamless cleanup. Wiping debris and particles from the counter into the sink has never been easier. With a size of approximately 31 inch by 20 inches, you could almost throw a party in the sink… maybe not a party, but you can certainly clean up the mess, wash/rinse dishes, and store iced beverages in one half for the party. Under the sink you will find a fully coated dampener to reduce sound when using the sink, making it that much better than other stainless steel sinks that aren’t enjoyable to use. Inside dimensions of the bowls are 15 ¾ inches by 18 ¾ inches and 13 inches by 16 ½ inches for the smaller bowl. The larger bowl has a depth of 9 inches leaving the smaller bowl with a dept of 7 inches.
