Zero Radius Sink - Quartz?
Comments (1)Call the Caesarstone 800#. They are very helpful. They gave us detailed info about cutting Caesarstone into floor tiles. They cut the tile for you in any size. So they can probably do a sink. Give them a call. They'll be able to answer all your questions....See MoreZero Radius Sink Reveal - Advice!
Comments (12)I was the OP on the thread referenced above by writersblock, which was specifically about the Ticor SS6508 (I think) zero radius single-bowl sink that has a beveled edge at the top, allowing use of included cutting board and wire basket. I believe that top edge is different that the sink you have, which has the more usual flat top flange. In the end, we returned the SS6508 and got the S112, which has the same kind of edge as the sink you have, I think. I wanted a neutral or very slightly positive reveal and got a lot of pushback from the fabricator, who said, oh no everybody gets a negative reveal and if it's positive you'll see the caulk and then you'll be back complaining. I stuck to my guns and the sink was installed last week (I've posted the picture in several threads recently so I won't put it in here). The reveal is very slightly positive, 1/16 to 1/8" of sink edge showing and I like the way it looks. We can see the caulk but it doesn't look bad and, as someone pointed out when I was worrying about that, the caulk can be removed and reapplied with no ill effect. We've only been using the sink for a few days so I can't say what the longterm result will be but so far so good. I hope that helps. Do a search of my user name if you want to find several more threads over the last month on this same topic....See MoreWho sells Zero Radius Sink Grid for 32' sink?
Comments (3)Hi roulie, If I google 32" stainless sink grid, lots of results given. "The Find" seems to have links to lots of different suppliers. Here is one that has a zero radius grid with the hole in the back: http://www.needplumbingsupplies.com/Kindred-Kitchen-Accessories.asp?id=20950&NpsRfrSrc=BizRate&NpsRfrMfg=9 btw, I just used needplumbinsupplies for my pot filler & soap dispenser--great prices with the online coupon they offer. I ordered it yesterday and it already shipped! I bought my sink from Overstock, Model # SS6503. Galaxy Tool Supply also has it, but they couldn't meet the price of the Overstock with coupon. rubyfig, I did look at their website, but I really didn't see what I needed. I think I will have to call them directly or email them. Thanks!...See More10'' deep, zero radius, kitchen sink; Too deep, Too squared?
Comments (9)For an under-mount sink, the real depth of the sink is the sink's stated depth + the thickness of your countertop. So, if you have 3cm stone (or 2cm stone + subtop = approx 3cm), then your sink will be 10" + 1.25" = 11.25". Grids raise the "bottom" of the sink by 1" to 1.25". So, figure 10.25" depth for the sink, just to be conservative. Is this too deep? It depends on several things: (1) Your height (the taller you are, the more likely a deep sink will bother you b/c you have to reach farther down than shorter people) (2) Your arm length (the longer your arms, the farther you can reach down w/o having lean or hunch over) (3) Current condition of your back & shoulders...if you already have occasional problems w/your back or shoulders, it may exacerbate the situation if you have a very deep sink. I'll be honest, I'm 5'10" (the shortest one in my family...the rest range from 5'11" to 6'6") with long arms and I would not want a sink any deeper than the 9" one I have (well, 9" + 1.25" - 1" grid = 9.25" total depth). Mocking it up is a good idea, however, you really need to use it for an extended length of time to see if it will eventually bother you (you might not at first, but after a while or over time it may start to bother you or your DH.)...See MoreMatt Gross
