Farmhouse Sink Installation- pps7 is yours done yet?
Comments (1)I would definately have the sink installed before the granite guy templates. Make sure the top of the sink is level with the top of the cabinets. Also, make sure you tell your cabinet guy how far out you want your sink to bump out. This is the picture I sent to my granite fabricater. Our sink cabinet bumps out as shown in this picture. We didn't have problems with the granite-it was the carpenter who cut the face of our cabinet incorrectly. That issues it still unresolved. He did a "fix" but we're not aure it's adequate and they may need to order us a few cabinet face....See MoreInstalled countertops go beyond the farmhouse sink sides!
Comments (9)Not, that there will be a "next" time, but for anyone else out there who will be reading this, or in case you have a bath vanity done----the reveal for the sink should be indicated clearly in your contract. A written contract is for both parties protection as it spells out what one party will actually do, and what the other should expect. Industry "standard"--as far as there is one---is a negative reveal, with the stone hanging over the sink lip. That is how most manufacturer's templates are done that the stone fabricators will use. It's slightly easier for them, because the overhanging stone will hide the fact of not 100% centering the sink on the cutout. An exact reveal is the hardest, and most fabricators will strongly discourage customers from asking for that due to it's difficulty. A positive reveal, with the lip of the sink partially visible, is becoming more popular as many manufacturers are making accessories that sit on the exposed sink rim such as cutting boards and colanders. This also requires some precision to make look good and accuracy in details like this are what separate the decent middle of the road fabricators from the really good ones....See MoreNeed help with farmhouse sink install ASAP!
Comments (14)Sometimes a drip edge is installed below a farm sink and looks good as well as being practical. That would work for your half inch below the sink, the sides could be filled in with an overlay panel like Food shows. Google for images. Most farm sinks without an overlay panel look fine but your sink is significantly less wide than your cabinet, that is why it is more noticeable....See MoreCrack in Fireclay Farmhouse Sink - Can It Be Fixed?
Comments (8)There are so many other beautiful options that don't involve fireclay if you replace, so don't be discouraged. I did a lot of sink research and settled with an apron-front workstation sink from Havens Metal and am so pleased with it. They can give you a custom size in copper or 316 stainless. Their texture finished are really pretty, and you'll never have to worry about fireclay damage again....See More- 4 years ago
