Has anyone undermounted a Shaw apron front sink?
Comments (11)I undermounted a Whitehaus fireclay sink because I wanted a fireclay sink, didn't want the apron front, and liked the sizes available in the Whitehaus product line. (None of the true undermount fireclay sinks quite fit my size requirements). I have a wall mount faucet, so didn't need space for a deck mounted faucet behind the sink--so the deeper (front to back) aspect of an apron front sink worked well for me to maximize the size of sink I could fit in my small kitchen. If you plan on a deck mounted faucet, though, you'll probably need to have countertops deeper than 24" to allow space for the faucet--check the sink measurements. Installing the sink didn't seem to be a big deal for the installers--they just added a support structure inside the sink cabinet and set it in. The countertop (Paperstone) installers templated for the sink, and added some shims to make the sink fit snug against the countertops. No problems so far, and I don't regret not going with the apron front. In my small kitchen, I think the continuous run of cabinets/countertops looks a BIT more expansive than it would have looked with an apron front sink. While there are lots of nice examples of apron front sinks in modern kitchens, I think I agree with you that a regular undermount sink will have cleaner lines in a modern kitchen. If you aren't terribly attached to the Shaw's sinks, you might want to look at Whitehaus or other brands (like Franke). You really pay a premium for the gorgeous curves on the Shaw's apron-- but if they won't be visible, might be able to get a better deal on a different model. (I got a great price on my Whitehaus 501 model online from Home and Stone) Here are a couple of pictures... hope this helps!

Comments (5)I`m not 100% sure but I have read something here and there about this sink and from what other people say the price difference may come from the fact that they werenâÂÂt made in China. that was the only plausible explanation I could find....See MoreAnyone have the blanco wave sink 440240
Comments (0)If you have it do you like it ? It is very wide front to back on the big side 20 15/32 does it leave enough room for a decent ledge on the granite ? Hubby is afraid if you go to wide like that it would stress the granite making the front to narrow. My cabinet for the sink is big enough to fit it . It is a 46 inch sink base cabinet ....See MoreAnyone with an apron front prep sink?
Comments (1)No, but I'm considering it. I want a prep sink in a 36" island that has seating on the opposite side, and an apron front would make the most out of a rather narrow spot....See Morepolkadotz
