Kohler Whitehaven sink
Comments (20)I have my white whitehaven sitting in my living room also. It looks so smooth and glossy. I have run my fingers over it a few times. I got the 30" and it does seem huge. We have a 24" sink now so 30" will be plenty for us. I can imagine the 36" must seem like a mini hot tub. I am surprised that the biscuit seems so white in color! Did it cost more to purchase biscuit? I have picked the cabinet color yet but have not picked the wall or backsplash yet so I wanted to stay with basic white to avoid any issues with colors not blending well....See MoreKohler Whitehaven Sink - 33 or 36"?
Comments (13)I was thinking the same thing as Fori, that the cabinets and design would have to be completely reconfigured, in which case I would understand the upcharge. But if the design does not have to be reconfigured, then the $1000 is a rip-off. Can you please provide more info about which Whitehaven sink you are talking about, as the various styles influence the price. Assuming you are talking about the 36" single-bowl, tall-apron Whitehaven in white (#K-6489-0), the price at Home Depot is $937. How can your builder charge $1000 more for a sink that doesn't even cost $1000? The Whitehaven has price differences depending on size, tall apron vs. short apron, and color. Please let us know which one, and please challenge your builder on this one. If he won't budge, I might ask him to credit you for the sink, and you'll buy it yourself....See MoreVigo matte stone sink VS kohler cast iron whitehaven
Comments (22)@cpartist How do you like the DXV Hillside? Any pros/cons with it? Anyone else have one? We were originally considering the 36" Shaw farmhouse sink but the salesman said they all end up crazing over time. He said that Shaw makes their sinks they same way they did 100 years ago and it takes 3 days to dry. In those 3 days the sink settles and thats why the bottom can not consistently drain towards the drain (thus puddling) and that the settling enables the crazing to happen over time. He showed us several sinks like the Franke and Home Refinements Julien but those two were too modern for our kitchen (thinner walls). He said if you're going for a really worn in kitchen with lots of character in a 100 year old house, then those crazing spider webs on the Shaw won't matter. Our house is built in the 1930's with white inset shaker cabinets but I still don't want to look at cracks in my sink. The Hillside has almost the same dimensions and thicker walls like the Shaw. He said they poke a hole in the bottom front in the drying process and all the liquid fireclay pours out and leaves a shell of a sink. That leaves the sink sounding a bit more hollow when you knock on it, but also allows it to dry in one day so that it retains its shape. The water will drain toward the drain and the sizes don't vary like the Shaw (+/- 2%). I'm worried if something went wrong with the Shaw and we had to replace it, that it wouldn't fit exactly in the original cutout for the sink. I'm not too aware of the DXV brand though. Any good?...See MoreKohler Whitehaven Single or Double
Comments (9)We had a double bowl cast iron sink but now have a 36" single Whitehaven for clean up. I was always splashing the windows, my clothing and the countertops when I was handling unwieldy things that I had to lean against the center divider especially when rinsing. That doesn't happen with the single bowl. We mostly use the DWs but I use this small gray tub and a microfiber mat for drying when we hand wash a few things. This would leave you plenty of room for a good size dish rack. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/grundvattnet-rinsing-tub-gray-80314285/...See Moremountdgal
