Custom Kitchen Sink FAQ
Materials, Sizing, and Care
Get answers to common questions about Rachiele custom sinks, from design to functionality!
I have no idea which metal, workstation design, or accessories to choose. Can you help?
Absolutely—that’s what we do best. At Rachiele®, every sink starts with a personal conversation. We’ll talk about how you cook, clean, and use your kitchen, then guide you through the pros and cons of each metal—316L surgical-grade stainless steel, copper, brass, or bronze—so you can choose the one that fits your lifestyle. We’ll also walk you through our patented workstation designs and essential accessories, recommending only what will truly improve your daily experience. By the end, you’ll have a sink tailored to your needs, not a sales pitch.
What’s the best kitchen sink material?
For durability and low maintenance, high-grade hand-finished stainless (e.g., 316L) is the workhorse; copper, brass, and bronze add the benefit of an easy to care for living finish and our sinks and accessories are designed to last generations. Fireclay/cast iron look classic but are heavier and can chip; “granite composite” varies widely by brand/binder, however they have significant weaknesses. Match material to use, not just looks
What size sink fits my cabinet?
A Rachiele® sink will fit the exact size of the cabinet due to our unique and easy method for installation. For example, our 36" sink fits all 36" cabinets. All other sinks must be 2-4" smaller.
What type of stainless steel do you use, and why?
We use domestic 316L surgical-grade stainless steel because it is the highest grade available for a kitchen sink. It offers superior corrosion resistance and better scratch resistance than the grades commonly used elsewhere in the market. A Rachiele® sink built from this material is engineered to last generations and can look nearly new decades after installation.
