Low rates and easiest to calculate/understand shipping/handling for laundry sinks

"What is Veritek material?"
Veritek is an affordable compressed molded material, with no surface coating to chip or crack. The non-porous material resists mold and mildew so it is perfect for laundry sinks.
"What is the difference between an 'under counter' kitchen sink and a 'self rimming' sink?"
An "under counter" sink is just that - it mounts from the bottom of the counter. A self-rimming sink has overall dimensions larger than the opening in the counter and sits on top of the countertop. It requires no additional rim around the outside of the sink, and generally will give you a lot less problems down the road. Why? Because it cannot fall down and gravity over time will not open the seal between the counter and the sink with a self rimming sink. Undercounter mounts can be used with solid surface or granite, marble counter tops. If you're using Formica type counters use the self-rimming. For tile we like to recommend self rimming. Under counter sinks, over time can have problems where the sink and counter meet.
"Please explain the best gauge of stainless, which is longer lasting, i.e. satin, mirror finish, etc?"
The lower the number, the thicker the material. In our opinion, 22 gauge is bare minimum - builder quality. During the manufacturing process, stainless steel sinks are "stamped" into shape. That means that the material stretches and therefore the corners can be very thin. We suggest at least 20 gauge and preferably 18 gauge. Stainless can scratch and with a mirror finish those scratches will show. We recommend that you do not purchase any brand mirror finished stainless sink (no matter what the price or claimed quality).
"Some of the laundry sinks say they have the option of 1, 2, or 3 holes (in the "Deep Laundry Sinks With 1, 2, or 3 Holes" section) - what does that look like?"
