Yes, all KUNe sinks can be installed both indoors and outdoors.
KUNe is a company from Austria. Our stainless steel sinks are developed and designed in Austria. The high-quality washbasins are manufactured by our selected partners based in Europe. This enables us to guarantee high product availability and short, environmentally friendly transportation chains.
From a certain amount of chromium in the steel, a stainless steel becomes a rust-resistant steel. We have summarized the influence of the nickel alloy content and why not all stainless steel is the same in a short blog post. KUNe stainless steel sinks are made from high-quality chrome-nickel steel.

We deliberately refrain from producing washbasins in chrome steel, as this material does not meet our quality criteria. Chrome-nickel steel (1.4301) provides excellent corrosion protection and, in our opinion, the best price-performance ratio. Alternatively, we can also manufacture our sinks for you in the chrome-nickel-molybdenum steel variants 1.4404. If you have any questions about custom-made products, please feel free to contact us at any time: service@kune-online.com

If you have installed your KUNe stainless steel sink outdoors, you should winterize it in good time before the cold, frosty nights set in.
The following things should be taken into account:
If the pool starts to rust, this is usually due to a lack of cleaning or incorrect use of cleaning agents. Chlorine or chloride-containing acids or cleaning agents attack the stainless steel surface and can destroy it permanently! The same applies to alkaline solutions, cement residue removers and halogenated elements such as iodine, chlorine, bromine or similar.
If small rust spots appear on the pool floor, this is usually due to oxidation of iron particles that have been introduced into the pool from outside through contact with metal objects (e.g. spades, shovels, etc.) and are starting to rust. To prevent damage, it is important to clean the pool regularly and to remove any corrosion at an early stage. As a rule, such stains can be removed using stainless steel cleaning agents.

Please also refer to our blog post: How do I care for my KUNe sink?
KUNe sinks are made of high-quality stainless steel 1.4301 (also known as chrome-nickel steel, 18/10 or V2A). This stainless steel is also frequently used in the food industry. The basin is a durable product from quality production and can be repaired if damaged. Normal use of stainless steel results in an even, homogeneous surface (patina).
Cleaning a KUNe basin
To prevent damage, it is important to clean the basin regularly and to detect and remove any corrosion at an early stage. As a rule, such stains can be removed using stainless steel cleaning agents.
After use, the basin should be rinsed with plenty of clean water and wiped with a soft cloth.
We recommend cleaning with our PlanB Citrus Cleaner at regular intervals. Then rinse the pool with plenty of water. In case of heavy soiling and rust stains, we recommend intensive cleaning with e.g. PlanB Stainless Steel Restorer. Then rinse the basin with plenty of water.
