Frequently Asked Questions
Discover our best-selling custom kitchen sinks crafted for elegance, durability, and timeless appeal.
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 sink material?
For durability and low maintenance, high-grade stainless (e.g., 316L) is the workhorse; copper, brass, and bronze add antimicrobial benefits and a living finish and ours 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.
Tell me more about the type of stainless steel you use, and why?
We use domestic 316L stainless steel due to it being the highest grade available. It is far more corrosion resistant and scratch resistant than what is commonly used. Our sinks are made to last generations and have the easy ability to look new, decades from now!
