Handcrafted 16G 2318 is a 16-gauge stainless steel single-bowl kitchen sink, about 23 by 18 inches and 10 inches deep. At 16 gauge the steel is thicker than the usual 18, which is what you hear the difference in under a dropped pan.
About Handcrafted 16G 2318
A brass or zinc body under a plated finish — the finish is what you live with day to day, not the metal underneath it. It reads Stainless. It comes handcrafted undermount.
Undermount openings are cut and polished in our shop off the template, not freehanded in your kitchen. It is one of 11 colors we stock from the Single Bowl Kitchen Sinks range.

How it meets the countertop
The mount type decides what we cut, and what you see every day.
It hangs below the countertop. We cut to the bowl, polish the edge that shows, and carry the sink on supports beneath the slab. The everyday result is a continuous surface — you push crumbs off the counter and they land in the sink.

Size, depth, and the cabinet under it
The numbers off its own spec line, and what each one constrains.
Size
Figure on a base cabinet of at least 27" — the rule of thumb is bowl width plus about three inches for the cabinet sides. We measure your actual run at template rather than trusting the rule.
- 23"x18"
Depth
Deep enough to stack a roasting pan out of sight and to run a tall pot under the faucet. Deep bowls also hide dishes, which is either the point or a habit you will acquire.
- 10"

Questions about Handcrafted 16G 2318
Answered from this fixture’s own catalog attributes — nothing generic.
How does Handcrafted 16G 2318 mount?
This one sets from below and is hand-finished, not stamped, so the countertop edge becomes the edge of the sink. Cleaner to live with, and slightly less forgiving to install — the cutout has to be right the first time, which is why it happens in our shop and not on site. This one measures 23"x18" across and 10" deep, so it wants a 27" base cabinet.
How many bowls does Handcrafted 16G 2318 have?
A single bowl — no divider. It is the layout that has quietly taken over kitchens, for the simple reason that dishwashers made the second basin redundant and oven trays never fit in one anyway. The bowl is 23"x18" across and 10" deep, so it wants a 27" base cabinet.
What is Handcrafted 16G 2318 made of?
Steel — 16 gauge, which is a thickness measure where smaller means heavier. Nothing you put in a kitchen will hurt it, short of leaving a cast-iron pan wet in the bottom overnight. Expect fine scratching from day one; it is normal, it is uniform, and it stops being visible once there is enough of it. At this size the gauge is worth caring about: a full-size bowl is where thin steel announces itself, flexing under a loaded pot and ringing under the tap.
