Overmount an Undermount?
Comments (5)Wow, that is very cool how they are doing that! Looks like it may cost quite a bit to get that done right though. By not enough lip do you mean that the amount metal in the lip wont be able to support the weight of the sink? Or that it wouldn't fit a standard 33" overmount hole? Thanks again!...See MoreUsing a reveal with an under-mount sink to create a "ledge" sink.
Comments (16)Not advised to create a ledge. You physically can, but now you depend on silicon to keep things water tight. If you keep a zero reveal or an overhang, then water is less likely to accumulate on the sink flange (Which is used to create the ledge). The silicone then can stay intact longer, and not be needed as the primary water guard. Often the biggest problem we see with ledge sinks is with the installation. Some issues we have been told is with accessories not fitting. However, this is easily avoidable with two best practices: 1. The fabricator should always follow the template 2. Once the hole is cut for the sink, dry fit the accessories to ensure smooth sailing from the client. If you like ledge sinks then check this new release: Kraus Kore...See MoreHelp! Stainless steel undermount kitchen sink for 30" cabinet
Comments (20)"When you sandwich the sink rim between the heavy counter material and the cabinet side there's zero extra space if the cabinet side tops are all installed level. No possiblity of any space opening in the future.." Good theory, little real-world relevance. First, the sink flange would have to be rabbeted into the cabinet tops perfectly flush. Secondly, tops aren't the exact same thickness throughout and nearly all have to be shimmed somewhat. That means there will be a gap the thickness of the shims between the sink flange and stone bottom. That means an uneven silicone joint and on the recommended slight positive reveal that won't look good. When a sink is pushed against a stone bottom by straps, the gap is tight and consistent no matter what the shims are doing. Furthermore, if the sink ever has to be replaced, it's now much more difficult because the cabinet sides have to be unzipped to get the sink out and reinstalled to get the new sink in. A strapped sink is replaced in little over an hour by backing off two bolts. Using cabinet tops to support sinks is not good practice....See MoreSINK help! SS, undermount, slight radius 30 - 33" sink
Comments (7)It's been 14 years since I bought my 16 guage single bowl ss undermount sink. It has been excellent and I like the slightly rounded corners and the drain hole is centered in the middle of the sink. I am going to buy another sink for a new build home in this coming year. Was hoping to get the exact brand and model, but I think the company that made my current sink may have been bought out. In addition, the online company I bought it from might no longer be in existence. The sink was made by Linea Aqua and it's model name was Vienna purchased through HomeCenter dot com. Now, I will be searching for something very similar. So far, I have found two sinks on Amazon that are worth looking in to. One is made by Ruvati and the other is Kraus.
