suggestions for where to get a custom vanity top?
Comments (4)You need to find yourself a nice prefabricated granite shop. They import the counters already cut with an edge and back splashes polished. All they do is cut off a piece for you in the length you require, put in the undermount cut out, attach the sink and polish up the edges. It is a very affordable way to get granite for a vanity. They just charge you for the amount you use. Do a search for prefabricated granite in your city. The ones around here have tons of colors to choose from so you have lots of design options. Often they will also have discount sinks but if not they can use a sink you buy to cut the under mount opening. My prefab shop charges just $50 per sink for white or bisque oval or white rectangular. But I wanted bisque rectangular so had to find them myself. I just bought my sinks at Mr Direct for $70 each including shipping. http://www.mrdirectint.com/ to look at them. I bought the sinks through e-bay which had slightly lower shipping so saved about $10 over buying from them directly. I got my faucets at Express Decor. Home Depot and Lowes had nothing interesting. I got this one for $150 each. http://www.expressdecor.com/kraus-mil-1202-millennium-single-lever-basin-faucet.html for my master bath. I see they are running a 10% off coupon on it today. Even though I ordered it yesterday I saw in my e-mail they credited 10% back on my card today. :-) When we do our guest bath I'm getting this one. http://www.expressdecor.com/kraus-kef-14801-pu11ch-fantasia-single-lever-basin-faucet-and-pop-up-drain-with-overflow-chrome.html And probably this one for our upstairs bath. http://www.expressdecor.com/kraus-kef-14301-pu11ch-unicus-single-lever-basin-faucet-and-pop-up-drain-with-overflow-chrome.html In my case I'm getting my counter tops from a prefab shop but having it cut from a prefab island. I am getting a specialty edge that is known as a broken edge but still saving about a thousand off what it would be to buy an inexpensive slab and have my counters cut out of it....See MoreIs there a way to undermount sink so it can come out later on??
Comments (3)I used angle iron; it can be unscrewed and slid over to let the sink come out. Similar to the products above mentioned. If you ask me what the angle iron screws into, I'll say "flat bar" but then you'll ask me how I got the flat bar into place. I put it there before the counters, on top of the cabinets. I drilled holes in it. Instead of buying a product, I made my own removable support. If you aren't sure what angle iron is, search using this term : "angle+iron"...See Moresink size vs. cabinet size
Comments (3)I don't see any reason why a 30" sink wouldn't fit in a 33" cabinet. We're putting a 32" into a 36" cabinet. There is room to spare. If you find the bigger sink doesn't work, can't you return it for a smaller size? Hope someone with more install knowledge pops in. I advise you to go with at least the 18" wide prep sink. 15" is tight for some prep tasks. And 18" allows more space if you occasionally want to wash something out there if the clean-up sink is busy being used for something else....See MoreGranite Dilemma
Comments (19)The installers came back today. Everything looks magnificent.No more off-white rectangle...the installers and the salesman were attentive and professional. Salesman has made two visits today and wants to stop by on his way home from work..No hint of un-willingness to correct the mistake. I feel fortunate not to have had to fight with them. Thanks for the encouragement.....See Moreclt3
