Below are images of common undermount stainless steel sinks available for purchase through the Kitchen Gallery. When you are selecting granite, quartz or an acrylic type countertop you will likely want an undermount sink because of the look and ease of cleaning. When purchasing an undermount stainless steel sink one thing to note is the gauge steel being used. A 16 gauge stainless steel sink is heavier/thicker than an 18 gauge stainless sink. The benefits of a heavier 16 gauge over a 18 gauge is strength and likely better sound deadening characteristics.

So if doing the floors over in your kitchen is part of the project. When do you install the floor? Before or after the cabinets get installed. The answer is it depends. For hardwood or ceramic tile floor -- you can do the floor before or after, you get a better install if it is done before the cabinets are installed. If you do the floor after the cabinets are installed then cabinet installer will need to raise cabinets up the thickness of the hardwood flooring or tile. For hardwood flooring the cabinets are raised 3/4 of an inch.

The Kitchen Gallery has a lot of granite samples for you to look at. These samples vary in size from 3 x 3 inches to 10 x 10 inches. However, looking at these small samples is not the best way to select your granite countertop. Granite can be very unique from one slab to the other. So it would be best to select your granite slab(s) from a distributor, where you can see the full slab of granite. One granite distributor Kitchen Gallery often suggests is Boston Granite Exchange in Haverhill, Massachusetts.
