We have a porcelein on cast iron Kohler. Finish is worn out after 9
years. Will be going with Corian soon but otherwise I would go with a
deep stainless steel double sink drilled at the factory. Consumer
Reports says thickness doesn't matter but my parents have a cheap thin
one and even though the faucet is mounted tightly it flexes because of
the thin stainless steel rim.

Better ones often have some sort of coating underneath, which lowers
noise (from clattering objects in sink, and running water), and, I
suspect, help keeps a sink full of water hot longer, if you're soaking
things in one side and washing in the other.

Even the cheap one has a coating.


There must be more than one brand of sink, then, because three years ago,
the apartment complex I lived in was replacing porcelain sinks with SS, none
of which had any coating.
