Offering a unique color option for stainless steel, the PVD Gunmetal finish has a striking modern appearance that makes a statement in any kitchen. Engineered with an integrated ledge to support custom sliding accessories, this sink creates a multifunctional workspace to streamline your kitchen tasks from meal prep to cleanup. Elegant rounded apron front creates a distinctive focal point. Sink kit includes a heavy-duty bamboo cutting board and roll-up dish rack that allow you to work right over the sink without losing any space on the kitchen counter. DuraShield PVD finish application provides enhanced resistance to abrasion and corrosion, with sandblasted matte texture that helps prevent water spots and fingerprints. Farmhouse installation creates a seamless transition from sink to countertop, with no exposed mounting deck to trap food and debris. 

Note from DirectSinks about the KWF210-27-PGM - This sink is an ideal option for a farm sink for a 30" Country Sink Base. Not many options are available for a 30" Country Sink Base, especially in an awesome Gunmetal Finish. This might be the only available option in Gunmetal! With an offset drain, your plumbing could also be to the side of your cabinet creating more usable space under the sink.  Remember, this sink does not work with a standard 30" Sink Base.

Maintenance Tips

• Daily gentle cleaning: Wash with mild dish soap + soft sponge, then dry with a microfiber cloth to preserve the PVD gunmetal finish and prevent water spots.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use bleach, ammonia, or abrasive pads (steel wool) as they can damage the DuraShield™ protective coating.
• Rinse after heavy use: Especially after acidic, salty, or staining foods to prevent residue buildup and maintain uniform finish.
• Dry after each use: Key step to keep the “spot-free” matte gunmetal look and reduce limescale marks.
• Use workstation accessories: Always use the bottom grid, cutting board, and rack to protect the surface from scratches and dents.
• Clean drain & corners weekly: Flush debris from rear offset drain and channel edges for smooth, clog-free drainage.
• Avoid standing water: Prevents mineral buildup and keeps the sink looking new longer.
• Accessory care: Wash bamboo board and roll-up rack with mild soap, then dry fully to prevent odor or warping.
