tile-in sinks and to wall mount faucet or not
Comments (19)I agree with 2" hex on counter - that was the norm - 1" was for floors. I also prefer color to b&w, but finding colored 2" hex today will be really hard, so maybe white hex with colored trim. Make sure it is has a glaze around the sink though. I like pale blue or green with yellow cabs. I HIGHLY recommend the book "Bungalow Kitchens". Reading it was like reading the diary of my house, and it has fantastic pictures of old original cabinets and counters. I think JohnLiu gave the link to pics from his vintage kitchen tour on you older reticulated tile post - find that thread and look at the pics - it has a few awesome colored 2" hex counter pics. As for the tile, I mentioned this on your tile post, and plllog mentioned it here: You will NEED to have it set in real "mud", NOT Thinset! Being Upstate you'll probably be more likey to find someone who can do it. Try contacting local Historical Societies or house museums to find out who does their repair work. Alternatively, try to find a marble flooring installer - marble floors are supposed to be set on a mud bed as well (but an old school tile guy would be best). As for using an undermount sink and tiling over it, I'm not sure if this will work. The problem is what will the sink actually be attached to? Only the 3/4" plywood? Will that work? You have to find out from the sink manufacturers. Another problem will be the size of the undermount rim - because it will be below the plywood, your QR tile will have to go onto the actual sink rim to hide the plywood edge, and if the rim is too narrow it won't be structurally sound....See Moreapron-front sink with faucet holes? Is there such a thing?
Comments (6)Yeah, there are some Kohlers, but that seems to be about it for single basins. Then I start looking at faucet holes seriously and realize they aren't where I want them and maybe an apron front sink is silly and I should try to undermount a topmount Silgranite so I can punch out my own holes where I want them. Sheesh. You just can't please some people! (me!) ....stupid air gap.... =D...See MoreExperience with stainless steel apron front sinks? Advise?
Comments (39)I purchased my Sea Salt Kohler Whitehaven through Amazon Warehouse. Got it for almost 1/2 price. It was perfect. I only purchase if an item is marked as 'Like New' or 'Very Good'. Just saw a Ruvati 9200 workstation apron front stainless on there with several installed pics. Might be worth checking out....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 MoreFori
