Beautiful @Joseph Corlett, LLC! I dont Know anyone who has a quartz sink. Is the surface hard to keep clean?

I think ikea only has 30” and 36” sinks? So I can either do a smaller under mount one or perhaps a larger drop in one. But I could be wrong.

Joseph--Thanks for the link to the sink. I had never seen one before and am definitely considering using this sink.

Which 36" IKEA sink cabinet would I use with this sink?

And, not this one. Correct?

p.s. I am sorry, but I just can't figure out how to copy and paste an image from another website on Houzz. I've tried everything.

@julieste I would call IKEA to confirm about the sink cabinet needed for a non-IKEA sink. I think this is what I will have to do too

Look at Julien (Home Refinements) sinks. You can order most of their sinks with a drainboard, on either side or both sides. I believe their drainboard design allows you to place it over the dishwasher or trash cabinet, so you don't need such a large sink cabinet, only large enough for the sink basin.

julieste:

You can't use full height doors with an apron sink. You've got to have a space for the apron or a drawer front to remove to make the space for the apron.

Ooops Jospeh--

Thanks for your reply. Now I see that I am actually looking at a different Elkay drainboard sink at Ferguson than the apron front one you posted. This is the one; it's a drop-in. https://www.elkay.com/products/elxudb3620bgch0.html

Sorry, as I said, I can't seem to figure out how to post photos.

Would this IKEA sink cabinet base work?

Hi @Joseph Corlett, LLC I am leaning towards the 36" Elkay quartz with drainboard that you suggested to me (except I can't afford the apron front one but will do the undermount one). I will get the 36" IKEA cabinet and install it in an island hopefully. Question, I've seen you recommend a strap system for installing this? Will the countertop quartz installers know what I am referring to when they put in the countertop and sink? Also, I like the ricotta white shade but I am afraid of staining with tomato based sauces and coffee/tea. Have your customers used that color? Thanks!

"I've seen you recommend a strap system for installing this? Will the countertop quartz installers know what I am referring to when they put in the countertop and sink?

I recommend the Hercules Universal Sink Harness (Braxton Bragg) or a Sink Strap or two (Gran Quartz). Throw away the clips provided by Elkay please, as drilling for them voids the quartz manufacturer's warranty. Tell your installers you want your sink strapped and you don't care how they always do it.

I won't sell the Ricotta for the reasons you mentioned. It may stain, it may not, but I can't afford the internet review if it does. Parchment is off white and it's in my samples. Sold one and no complaints.
