HomeThangs.com Introduces a Selection of Best Quality, Least Expensive Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks


(PRWEB) July 06, 2012

HomeThangs.com has made their goal to deliver the right product to the consumer, with that in mind, shopping and home design tips, as well as special product selections are being introduced.

Good stainless steel sinks will last for years, and knowing what to look for, will help get an incredible, high quality product for a fraction of the price.

A few tips to keep in mind when shopping for stainless steel kitchen sink:

1 . The very most important thing to remember when shopping stainless steel sinks is gauge. The gauge of a piece of steel is how many times its been run through a press and thinned. For example 1 gauge steel was rolled once, and 100 gauge steel was pressed thinner and thinner a hundred times. Kitchen sinks usually come in between 16 (the thickest) and 22 or 24 (the thinnest). For the very absolute best quality, a 16 gauge sink would be the best choice, such as this Double Basin Sink from Artisan, but it is also going to cost more.

2. If one is on a budget, anywhere from 18-20 gauge is just fine, and can dramatically lower the price of the sink in many cases from somewhere in the $ 600+ range down to $ 100-200 or so. Now, even so, the lower the gauge on the sink the better, and anything over 20 is not recommended altogether, but to get a good quality stainless steel sink with a more reasonable price tag, dropping from 16 to 18 or even 20 gauge is a great way to cut costs without sacrificing much quality. For example, something like this 20 Gauge Sink from AmeriSink will serve just fine outside an intensive commercial kitchen.

Cons of higher gauge sinks:

Most Popular Remodeling Ideas for Home or Business Offered by Quality Glass Block and Window Co.


Morris, IL (PRWEB) June 07, 2012

Coming up with remodeling ideas is really exciting and fun; imagining what an old or open space can be using creativity and imagination. But the real thrill is seeing the creation, feeling the ambiance and knowing this space will be envied by all. It is this outstanding sensation that prompted Quality Glass Block and Window to come up with this list of remodeling ideas for all to dream about and make a reality out of those dreams.

Imagine this, a glass block wall separating a foyer from a living room, or maybe a glass block partition that separates a kitchen and dining room. For larger basements, a glass block wall can make a great divider from a play area to a recreational area. There are not many limits when it comes to Glass Block Walls or partitions, we have seen and done it all, stated Ray Tuminello, President of Quality Glass Block and Window Co. A glass block wall can be used almost anywhere in a home to provide light transmission from one area to another while keeping those areas separate from one another. In some cases, light transmission isnt a concern; rather privacy is the issue some face. Glass block walls can be configured using one pattern or a combination of two or more privacy patterns, it just depends on the artistic ability and creativity of the property owner or interior designer, stated Tuminello.

Those same glass block walls can be made using art glass blocks, or glass wall art. Murals can be made using any combination of glass blocks, glass wall art or pre-designed and even custom glass block murals. Using fusion technology, Quality Glass Block and Window can provide the most creative individuals with an astonishing glass block wall mural or even a window mural. The greatest part, is if any piece of the glass block mural should break several years down the road, replacement of the broken piece can be easily replaced, claims Tuminello. The glasses block murals range from aquatic and beach themes to city skyline themes. Send us your design idea, and we will make it happen for you, and we will also feature your custom glass block mural on our website for all to see and admire, says Tuminello.

There are so many benefits to allowing natural sunlight into a home or office. First there are the health benefits; as Doctors are always letting everyone know the importance of vitamin D, a vitamin humans soak up naturally through the skin. Second is the energy savings. This would make the next remodeling idea a very smart decision. Having a vinyl arch window, or geometric window, will not only allow additional light to naturally illuminate the space, but the vinyl is a superior insulator than wood and aluminum windows adding up to savings year after year. With a vast amount of remodeling ideas, very few allow the versatility, the durability and cost effectiveness that Quality Glass Block and Window Co. offers.

Quality Glass Block & Window Co. (http://www.qualityglassblock.com) is a leading provider of glass blocks used for windows, shower enclosures, walls and vents. In addition to wholesale glass blocks, Quality Glass Block & Window provides installation services or guidance for do-it-yourself builders and homeowners.
