BLANCO stainless steel is crafted with premium quality 304 series, 18/10 chrome-nickel content and is engineered in Germany to exacting standards of precision. BLANCO stainless steel has a non-porous surface which prevents dirt, bacteria and microorganisms from accumulating. It has a natural resistance to common household acids, marks and stains such as those made by coffee or certain types of fruits and vegetables.
The sink gauge refers to the thickness of the metal. Stainless steel is measured in gauges; the higher the gauge the thinner the material. Most BLANCO sinks are either 16 or 18 gauge, are fabricated to the highest standards, and are designed according to the needs of homeowners.
Stainless steel sinks do NOT rust but may appear to. Traditional orange/red rust marks in a high quality stainless steel sink can almost always be traced to one of three sources:
- Steel wool pads used for cleaning
- Tin coated steel cans or cast iron pots left in the sink while wet
- Iron deposits in the water
Rust stains are not a sign of sink deterioration, they are just simple deposits on the surface of the sink. Scrubbing the stains with a mild cleanser or metal cleaner like Flitz, almost always solves the problem immediately. Be sure to clean in the same direction as the grain lines of the finish.
BLANCO recommends 18 gauge as the optimal gauge. 16 gauge is thicker and adds additional weight to the sink. One may assume that a 16 gauge sink is a better value simply because it is thicker than 18 gauge. 18 gauge stainless, used for BLANCO and other high quality sinks, is only .5% thinner than 16 gauge and is the premium steel needed to make a quality and durable sink.
Chrome-Nickel content refers to the percentage of chrome and nickel in the sink’s stainless steel. Chrome gives stainless steel its luster & durability, while nickel provides hardness & strength. 18/10 Stainless Steel means the sink contains 18% Chromium or Chrome and 10% Nickel. All BLANCO Stainless Steel collections have an 18/10 chrome-nickel content, offering superior durability and corrosive resistance.
