Every project whether it’s a school, a commercial kitchen, or a public facility needs reliable sinks. The choice of sink material has a huge impact on hygiene, durability, and maintenance costs. While ceramic and composite options exist, stainless steel sinks remain the gold standard.
At Marko Stainless, we’ve been fabricating stainless steel sinks and custom sink units for over 30 years. Our products are built for the toughest environments, trusted by builders, architects, and schools across Australia.
Why Stainless Steel for Sinks?
A stainless steel sink delivers qualities that few other materials can match:
- Hygiene
Stainless is non-porous, preventing bacteria from penetrating the surface. This makes stainless sinks ideal for food prep, school hand-washing, and healthcare facilities. - Durability
Resistant to corrosion, heat, and impact, stainless steel sinks can withstand constant daily use without cracking or warping. - Ease of Cleaning
A quick wipe with detergent keeps the surface spotless, saving time for maintenance teams.
Stainless Steel Sinks in Schools
In schools, sinks are used daily in science labs, food technology classrooms, and bathrooms. A stainless steel sink is strong enough to withstand student use while being easy to clean and disinfect.
When installed in schools, sinks must meet Education Facilities Standards & Guidelines (EFSG) to ensure compliance. At Marko Stainless, our school sinks are fabricated to EFSG requirements, giving architects and builders confidence their installations will be approved.
Stainless Steel Sinks in Commercial Kitchens
In hospitality, stainless sinks are indispensable. From washing vegetables and utensils to handling hot cookware, stainless sinks can manage it all. The heat resistance of stainless ensures hot pots and pans won’t damage the surface, while corrosion resistance keeps sinks performing even under constant exposure to water and detergents.
For cafés, restaurants, and catering facilities, custom stainless steel sink units with integrated benches and splashbacks provide a professional-grade solution that improves workflow and hygiene.
Stainless Steel Sinks in Public Amenities
Public bathrooms and amenities require fixtures that are vandal-resistant, hygienic, and easy to maintain. Stainless steel sinks meet all these needs, making them the preferred choice for councils and builders managing public projects.
Custom Stainless Steel Sink Fabrication
One of the major benefits of working with Marko Stainless is our ability to fabricate sinks to custom requirements. Options include:
- Single or double bowl sinks
- Integrated drainers and splashbacks
- Wall-mounted or benchtop sinks
- Custom sizes for unique layouts
- Tapware compatibility with leading brands (Galvin, Enware, etc.)
This ensures every sink fits perfectly into its intended environment.
Stainless Sinks vs Other Materials
- Ceramic Sinks: Attractive but prone to chipping and cracking in high-traffic areas.
- Composite Sinks: Lightweight but less resistant to heat and heavy impacts.
- Stainless Steel Sinks: Hygienic, strong, heat-resistant, and compliant with industry standards.
For long-term durability and performance, stainless steel remains the superior choice.
