undermount bathroom sink gap
Comments (6)The problem is that the sink has an eased inside edge and not perfectly angled flat to fit against the underside of the stone. The fabricator should have cut the sink hole larger, to give more of a reveal of the sink edge, so that it contacted the stone where it is flat. This could be exacerbated by it not being a true undermount sink that is attempting to be undermounted. Or, it could be a hand made sink that isn't flat and can't be properly mounted without a gap. It's difficult to say exactly without viewing the installation in person....See MoreI need to get input on bathroom undermount oval sinks?
Comments (4)I'd recommend that size for face-washing, especially if children will be using it. If you'll only be hand-washing, the smaller size might be okay. Badgergirl posts here often and has shown photos of her smaller sinks in her 60" vanity. You might try searching for past sink size and double sink posts. If you use the smaller sink, try not to have an overhang of the countertop. My fabricator does a slight one because he says no porcelain sink is perfectly oval, so the overhang hides that. But he said the Kohlers are the most consistent....See MoreOptimal faucet/drain height/depth for undermount bathroom sink?
Comments (1)Yes, I think you are over thinking this. I also think there's a chance you might be my father in law, so I'm going to answer the question. ;) If you aim the water to hit right at the slope of the drain, you're in the clear. I wouldn't have it hit right on top of the drain because yes, it will splash. Since the basin of the sink is flat, I also think it would splash if it hit the flat basin of the sink. So if I'm reading your comments correctly, you should scootch the sink a skosh back so the water hits right at the slope of the drain. Now I just hope your countertopfabricator cuts the sink hole in the right spot! :)...See MoreUndermount or drop-in sinks in ensuite bathroom?
Comments (4)Undermount is definitely ore elegant as well as being easier to keep clean as there are ore no gaps to collect crud. I have wide spread faucets in my bathroom and they are elegant - not at all outdated. It really depends on the style as my bathroom is much more traditional and so my bathroom fixtures reflect that style....See Moreginger25
