Thank you for the link. Interesting stats.

Have your fabricator put 1/2" radius on you sink edge cut out and undermount the sink, please.

Do you have any pictures of what a 1/2 inch radius would look like? I can't find any for comparison. Also, very few sinks seems to have specs that include the radius. A zero-radius sink is obvious, but beyond that how do I know which sink to buy in order to coordinate the radius with the quartz?

I see that I ran two thoughts together in that last post. In the second question I was referring to the corner radius.

I actually like the flushmount sinks. No gunk on the underside or your stone, plus you protect it from chipping around the sink.

This is a 3/8" radius at a sink. A 1/2" radius is 1/8" larger.

I think people on this board are knowledgeable about undermount sinks, etc. ... but I don't think the general public would bat an eye at that sink, much less say it's too contemporary. It'd just register as simple, plain and serviceable.

I disagree that the unwashed masses would not notice that a sink is not undermount.

If the neighborhood warrants quartz counters, a significant percentage of prospective buyers would notice it and find it not as appealing as undermount.

Before I knew anything about kitchen trends, I knew that I hated wiping down a counter with a sink that was not undermount.

But as Sophie wrote, renovating to sell within a short period of time is probably not a financial jackpot absent unusual circumstances or ones’s ability to remodel at significantly more savings than the average person. I had friends who did high end remodels but they were both realtors who scoured their market for undervalued homes in upscale neighborhoods and essentially had a crew of people that they kept busy so there were no surprises in terms of attempting to find labor or spending endless time researching the best prices and of course they were contractors for their projects and got the benefit of those kinds of discounts.

Thank you for all of your input. If I do go with an undermount sink, what should the corner radius be for the best stability? or is this not an area of stress that might crack?

Are you DIYing this? Have you heard of the HUSH?

" If I do go with an undermount sink, what should the corner radius be for the best stability? or is this not an area of stress that might crack?"

Most engineered stone manufacturers don't allow square corners in cutouts. I'd go with a 1/2" minimum.

I think the sink you posted is sharp looking.

eam44, we are DIYing everything but the electrical and plumbing. No, I have not heard of HUSH. What is it?

Thanks so much to all of you who have responded. I appreciate your input.

Renovating for resale is an entirely different mind set than renovating for self. I like the sink, but I think the vast majority of home shoppers will not appreciate the cost difference between it and a $99 sink enough to make it worth it.

Every kitchen needs one showstopper though. If that were a stainless farm sink, it would get a lot more ooohs and aaahhs.

Joe will be the most helpful to you here. Start by googling “Joseph Corlett Hercules universal sink harness”. The results will contain several of [his threads[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/correct-sink-installation-hercules-universal-sink-harness-kit-dsvw-vd~2671312) here on houzz where you can read all about it. I’m not DIYing my sink install, but after the experiences I’ve had, I’ll be looking over their shoulders when they install my HUSH!

Thanks everyone!
