About Rust Marks & Water Marks
All Perth Sinks stainless steel sinks are manufactured from 304 (18/10) grade stainless steel, which is highly corrosion resistant and does not rust under normal use.
Occasionally, rust-coloured spots or water marks may appear on the sink surface. These are surface deposits, not corrosion of the sink itself, and are usually caused by:
-
Limescale or mineral deposits from water
-
Iron particles or metal filings coming into contact with the sink
-
Contact with rusty tools, screws, or other metal items during installation or renovation
This is common during building or renovation works and does not indicate a product defect.
