Granite edge around undermount sink?
Comments (6)Well, congrats on making that big decision! I don't know anyone who has a shaped edge around the sink, so can't comment on that. I'm including a pic of our plain edge with a full bullnose, so you can see that there's not a lot of room around the sink edge for faucet, soap dispenser, backsplash etc. If you go with a fancier edge would that take up valuable real estate, let alone, I'm not sure if it would make it more or less prone to nicks at the edge.(I wish my reveal were a little more negative, but am OK with it)....See MoreCan you replace a drop-in sink with an undermount sink (granite)?
Comments (3)Yes, I understand that the edges of the granite would need to be done. But I think that is a relatively minor issue. From what I've googled, it seems that the cutout for a drop-in sink is usually larger than for an undermount sink, so it is/may not be possible to put in an undermount sink if you already have a drop-in sink. I'm trying to figure out if/how I can figure out how big my cutout is in the granite for the drop-in sink without removing the sink. Then I might be able to figure out whether the cutout is too big for my new sink. The other thought I had was if the counter is already in place, how do you get the undermount sink in place? It would have to go through the cabinet, right? My cabinets have a wood piece (?frame) running between the double doors, so I'm pretty sure the sink wouldn't fit in that way. I think I'm answering my own question, but I'm hoping that there is a way that's not too complicated to accomplish this....See MoreUndermount Sink and Granite
Comments (33)"I am here to help not to argue and not for you to tell me I don't know what I am talking about. I have done thousands of these installations I don't make mistakes. Hush system sounds like a cheap scam people who have never installed recommend." GCM: Your contention that the HUSH "sounds like a cheap scam people who have never installed recommend" is the logical fallacy of relevance, ad hominem circumstantial to be specific. You must address the argument, not the circumstances (never installed) of your interlocutor. Although it's completely irrelevant, I'm a Certified Corian Fabricator and Installer. an Authorized Zodiaq Installer, a warranty agent for major manufacturers, a columnist, and consultant in addition to performing failed sink repairs repeatedly without callbacks. I run into your wood block type messes repeatedly and have to hope I can back out the drywall screws and beat the cleats off so I don't have to pull the dishwasher to get the failed sink out. You "don't make mistakes" types forget that sinks sometimes have to be replaced. If they are installed with a HUSH, this is simple and fast. If wood blocks, construction adhesive and whatnot were used, no telling how long it may take....See MoreEase in replacing under-mount apron sink?
Comments (13)I replace sinks for a living and have yet to pull a countertop to replace a sink except in solid surface. You tap the cabinet front off, change the sink, and put it back on. I've done it twenty times. Did it the day before yesterday. For easiest sink changes, insist that your fabricator strap, not insert fasten, your sink in place with a Hercules Universal Sink Harness (Braxton Bragg) or a Sink Strap (Regent Stone Products) or two. Two easily accessible bolts instead of 12 inaccessible ones. I'd change a strapped apron undermount in a hour at most. Make sure he puts a nice radius at your sink cut-out too, 3/8" minimum. No pencil edge, please....See Moresue_ct
