In recent years, our endangered environment and eco-system has brought the need for sustainability into sharper focus. "Green" is a permanent movement that evolved due to the escalating concern for the sustainability of our planet. One of the key elements of this growing  commitment to conservation and sustainability is bringing durable and efficient products to market.  For close to 90 years, Elkay has been dedicated to manufacturing high quality products that exceed customer expectations. Most recently our efforts have focused on environmentally-sustainable products designed to conserve the earth's resources and last into the future.

Our company is no newcomer to the green movement, as we have produced environmentally-sound plumbing products for many years.  As we continue to keep energy and water conservation at the forefront of our product development, we are also committed to offering sinks, faucets, water coolers and drinking fountains that are produced from recycled materials. In addition, our manufacturing facilities are designed for maximum efficiency to generate as little scrap as possible.

Elkay is a proud member of leading organizations such as the US GreenBuild Council®,  the American Society of Plumbing Engineers®, and the American Society of Sanitary Engineering®.

While browsing the products on ElkayUSA.com, you might have noticed small icons used in the product descriptions. These icons describe some of the more important attributes of Elkay products like steel gauge, finish, bowl capacity, and sound deadening insulation. Use the chart below to learn more about each of these features.

THICKNESS:

Enduring Quality
The beauty you see is more than just skin deep.  We begin with ultra-thick 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20 gauge stainless steel to optimize the strength and durability of your sink.  Remember, the lower the number the thicker the steel.

FINISH:

Beauty for a lifetime
Characterized by depth and richness, our finishes are crafted to complement the sink's settings of use.

CAPACITY:

Formed for Function
Our sinks are designed for life - and for your lifestyle.  Through impressive design, our sinks have extra deep bowls and straight side walls with tight radius corners.  This will not only allow larger pots and pans to sit flat for easier filling and cleaning, but also allows even more capacity in the same amount of space for more dishes and glasses.

INSULATION:

Noticeably Quiet
Compare our sinks to any other brand and you'll hear the difference.  Sound deadening pads, fully undercoated bowls and our exclusive Sound Guard® protection and Sound Guard® Plus protection, which combines both full undercoating and sound deadening pads, absorb sound, reduce condensation, and help maintain sink water temperature.
