Please show me your diamond patterned backsplash
Comments (9)We are thinking of putting the dots on the diamond as well. Not sure yet. What do you think? So long as you realise it's going to be a WHOLE lot more work, or if you're having an installer do it, it'll cost more for the installation, then I'd say go for it. The reason I say that is if you set the tiles diagonally and then the dots square, you can set a jig on the saw, and then just clip the corners on the tiles you need to, one after another, without having to bother to measure each and every tile. If, however, you set the dots diagonally along WITH the tiles, now, not only do you have to measure to make sure you center the tiles on the joints between the field tiles, but then each of the four tiles for each dot is now also an "L" cut. The time just to cut the pieces in preparation for installation will extend exponentially. All that being said, though, I can understand why you'd do it. It WOULD look better, if you're willing to spend the time or the money....See MoreBlanco diamond sink ..large single bowl.
Comments (10)I'm reposting my response to your recently asking the same question in an older thread: I don't know if there's such a thing as a sink that's too big, but a sink can definitely be too deep, depending on what kinds of tasks you'll be using it for. Will this be a cleaning sink as well as prep sink? In order to avoid leaning in and over as much as possible, two dimensions are important to get right: 1 - the sink needs to be placed as close as possible to the front edge of the counter (i.e., close to you). This is the one real functional advantage of an apron design. For under and overmount sinks, it's still worth getting clear with the counter and cabinet and plumbing people ahead of time what the minimum distance with your setup can be, and going with that. 2 - the base of the sink needs to be high enough that pots and pans resting on it don't force you to lean over much to wash them. A grid in the base of the sink can help, moving things an inch closer. The sink base can also be moved closer by overmounting the sink, and/or by raising the overall height of the counter. But you put yourself behind before you start with a ten-inch-deep sink, and the effect is worse if it's undermounted to a thick counter. The sink is the most-used appliance in the kitchen. It's worth taking the time to make sure it will be as comfortable as possible for the kinds of work you'll be doing at it. My white Silgranit Diamond super single is overmounted, and has a grid, and I keep a small plastic tub in the cabinet beneath, on which I set pots that need scrubbing to bring them to a more comfortable level. I'd have been thrilled if the same sink were available an inch or two shallower....See MoreDoes Water splash out of your Blanco Diamond Silgranit Sink?
Comments (1)Yes- deep sink and high arch faucet with SS sink. I don't think it is the type or brand, but deep sink and tall faucet causes splash out. I keep a lower pressure when washing dishes and higher pressure when filling pots etc....See MoreCan I have a blanco diamond single sink with a centered faucet?
Comments (4)I think you may have room for a narrow single-hole faucet (we're getting the Kohler Simplice, see link below, and using it without the escutcheon plate.) Having looked at the Simplice, I think you'd have enough room behind the sink for it, but if you're not sure you could either (1) have them bump out your sink base 2" or (2) get a faucet, wait until template day, and see whether it can be mounted behind, while knowing that you might have to settle for off-center placement. Either way you'll be good! Here is a link that might be useful: Kohler Simplice...See MoreKelly3307
