Eclipse Sinks - Anyone have one or an opinion about them?

16 years ago

I'm about to buy an undermount sink. My granite provider will sell me a 16 gage sink for around $350. It would be a help to me to spend less on a sink after splurging for the granite. Has anyone heard of this brand and have recommendations? Thanks in advance for any responses!

Yes, I have an eclipse sink. I originally had a Ticor sink, but the granite installers scratched it beyond repair when they replaced my granite which was cracked (but that's a whole nuther story). So far I have been very pleased with it. I am not sure of the gauge--at the time I was too angry to ask! I think you would get a better deal ordering a Ticor from Galaxy Tools and they come with free grates. Good luck.

Anyone with Experience/Opinions about Coswick Hardwoods?
Q
Comments (0)
I am looking at the Coswick prefinished quartersawn white oak products (thanks to Sippimom's suggestion!). I really like the looks of them. Sippimom seems to have had a great experience. I was wondering if anyone else has installed them or has any info on quality etc.? They really only have one distributor in the US (on the East Coast), so I would have to order the product directly from Coswick. It makes me a little nervous that they don't have many dealers. Anyone have info/thoughts on this? Thank you.

Ticor S710 Prep Sink...Anyone have one???
Q
Comments (7)
Thanks alku05- I like the look of the s905 and as soonermagic pointed out, anything will fit in it, well almost. I will use if strictly for prep purposes, so I think it will be fine. soonermagic- I love your prep faucet. What brand is it?? and did you get it online? nanapeg- Yes, I agree about the helping each other. We had a cancer diagnosis come up in the middle of our planned remodel, and I don't know what I would do without the information I have gleaned from this group. Again, thanks to everyone. twoyur- You have just helped to put me over the edge (in a good way!!!!). Am still not finished with decisions by a longshot, since we have to fast track this. It is reassuring however, to be able to ask questions and get valid and knowledgable answers.

Dawn sink - anyone have one or know anything about them?
Q
Comments (6)
tansy: when I purchased the sink, the ebay seller did NOT specifically state that the sink was Dawn, but it's ?engraved? onto the sink (on the wall part, under the faucet) in big (?2inches) letters. Now that I remember, I think it was 16gauge on the rim and 18gauge for the sink. Aussie: If someone had warned me about the drainage problem, I would still have gotten the sink, but definitely TEST the drainage thing BEFORE installation (or ASAP so that if it doesn't drain well, I can still return/exchange it. Other than that, I was very happy w/ it. It's a great deal. I would probably get it again (but test/check it asap instead of waiting 3months until the sink was installed under the granite) if I weren't getting a custom one stamped out of the stainless steel countertop.

Elkay e-granite sink - anyone have one?
Q
Comments (2)
I really wanted an Elkay quartzite sink with the integrated recessed draining shelf for my island. I liked the model #ELQTU342210. After talking it over with my GC/cabinet maker this morning, we decided I really didn't have enough room for it. I went with a Blanco Precis model 440141 and just hung up from ordering on the phone through a very nice gentleman at Homeclick.com. Their price was around the same as Overstockdeals.com and I'd read several people on here have good experiences with them. I've seen the Elkay sinks in a plumbing store beside the Sigranit Blanco and they look very much the same. I also watched the YouTube videos on them and have an Elkay plumber's supply catalogue. If you are looking for that kind of sink, I don't think you can go wrong with an Elkay. Good luck!

Dang, luvscritters! I looked through previous threads and lots of GWers like the Ticor sinks and have bought them from Galaxy. I just went online and bought the Ticor 16 gage S305 double bowl 16 gage for $220 - and it does come with free grates and strainers. Thank you so very much! Also thanks to all the GWers who previously posted a ton of great info about both silgranite and stainless sinks.

I have an Eclipse sink; I think it's the "Tiburon." I had seen it at the KD's showroom and liked it because it seemed big enough to hold anything I would need to wash by hand. Then, by the time we got around to making the choice for sinks, I was too beat up by the whole process to put a lot of work into it, so I defaulted to Eclipse. I know, I know, it's *not* 16 gauge SS, but that's not a problem for me.

I like it and it holds everything. I clean it with BKF, and it looks terrific. The only glitch was the Eclipse would only sell to fabricators, so my GC had to coordinate with the granite people to get the sink, which required a few extra phone calls.

I've purchased many Eclipse sinks (mainly the large Napa single bowl). Most of the models are 18 gauge, but Eclipse also has a 16 square commercial style sink as well. Wonderful price to value. If you bought the Blanco equivalent you would be paying about three times more.

They have a small selection of faucets but they are very well made. Heavy, 100% stainless steel construction with a ceramic disk valve.

What's all this talk about Chinees product. Don't they own us enough already. Haven't we learned that they make inferior product and that is why it is so cheap. Have we not heard enough about the lead paint in the toys, the mold in the drywall, etc. Hey check out a US owned company that imports products from a European manufacturer that builds eveything to the exact same qauality standards as the high priced stuff like Blanco and Franke. BUT the pricing is not only less expensive than the other European Brands but also comparable and in many cases less expensive than the Chinees brands like Eclipse.
