Finding the right stainless steel sink can sometimes be challenging. When searching for the best sink, you will encounter many brands and many models. In all this variety of options, two sink brands have been marked out: Kraus and Ruvati. They both have outstanding material quality, practical design, and elegant looks. Let's dive deeper into those brands, their history, and top models.

Kraus

Kraus is an American brand with exceptional quality and a wide variety of sinks. For their stainless steel models, they use premium T-304 stainless steel (18-gauge or 16-gauge). Their stainless steel sinks are designed to withstand frequent cooking, resist scratching, and make any kitchen task easier.

One of their signature technologies is NoiseDefend™ Soundproofing - a combination of sound-reducing pads and protective undercoating that helps reduce sounds from water running, dishwashing and garbage disposals.

Ruvati

Ruvati is also an American-based brand, with its headquarters in Austin, Texas. For stainless steel sinks, they also use high-quality T-304 stainless steel, and with a brushed finish, their sinks are resistant to scratches and easy to clean.

Their sinks also have a soundproof coating. To minimize sounds and noises, they use heavy-duty thick rubber padding.

Design

Both brands really succeed in their designs, as the sinks from both Kraus and Ruvati are thoughtfully engineered and well-manufactured. Drop-in and undermount sinks are easy to install, and workstations are designed to help with everyday tasks through the use of integrated ledgers with cutting boards and drying racks. From personal experience, sinks from both brands feel really solid and reliable, especially farmhouse and workstation sinks.

The only real thing to note is that big farmhouse sinks from both brands (especially Ruvati), over 36″, may require a larger installation base, as they require an oversized sink cutout. So if you're checking on one of those, be prepared.

As you can see, both brands, Kraus and Ruvati, are really close when it comes to stainless sinks. At the end of the day, it is the exact type of sink and finish that will be best in your kitchen - for both practicality and looks.
