Can a Blanco sink be undermounted to a laminate countertop?
Comments (10)Carolannk~ Thanks for the info. I emailed the guy who owns that site "Scott" and he wouldn't tell me which sink it was. I am not sure what the harm was telling me what brand of sink it is, but he wouldn't. (And he was rather rude about it). Anyway, thanks again. I will check out Swanstone's kitchen sinks. I have a swanstone in my bathroom and really like it. live-wire-oak, I would rather have granite, but the estimate I got was $4500 and my laminate estimate was $1500-2000 (depending on which laminate I choose). DH can't see spending over 4K on countertop. I wouldn't mind checking out Chinese blank slabs, but I really don't know where to look. Not much for granite retailers here. I am sure DH would spend a little more but not over $4K. As far as really wanting a Blanco...I do, but I would settle for any dark colored undermount sink. There just seem to be no dark sinks that can be undermounted in laminate. :(...See MoreBlanco Silgranit drop in Kitchen sink but undermounted
Comments (5)I wish I knew how to post the pics. I was unsure about the undermount, until the Cambria installer came to make the template, he had a glack silgranit sink in his truck, after looking at it in the sunlight, I was hooked, this is a beautiful sink. But very worrisome and iffy on the undermount install. He told me he had never had one complaint on the many had had done. After two days of back and forth on my part, he said "just do it, you will love it". So, I did it. And I have not regretted it, it is beautiful. Wish I was not such a dummy when it comes to uploading the pics....See MoreCan this sink be 'undermounted'? BLANCO 34 x 22 Silgranit
Comments (2)My granite and silgranit sink were installed on Thursday and I tossed and turned all night on Wednesday wondering if my base cabinet was going to be big enough for undermount. I had it in my head that the installer was going to say I mis-measured by a quarter inch so they'd drop it in! As it was, they didn't use the undermount clips but held it up with some kind of wood screwed into the side of the cabinet for support. My sink hole was cut on site (long story) and silgranit epoxied right in my kitchen. BTW, I bought the 511-705 which could be mounted either way. The clips were included but not used....See MoreSilgranit drop in but undermount installation..
Comments (4)Going drop-in was one of our mistakes. Our concern (having just dealt with a rusted out cast-iron/enameled sink installed under ceramic tiles) was that in order to replace the sink, we'd have to destroy the countertop. We didn't know about the new install methods with clips, etc. The cut-out is not the same and when we talked to our granite installer about it, they said it couldn't be changed without removing the granite and bringing it back to the shop if at all. Eventually we'll do some more research and calling around to see if we can change this but for now we have other concerns. Hubby believes taht we can do a flush-mount (where the deck will be even with the granite) but we'll have to find a granite person to modify the cut-out. I'm not quite sure how it's installed now. I don't think it's on much (if any) of the granite as we just last week added a hole for our (new!) R/O water faucet....See Moremass380
