Shaped stainless undermount low divide kit sink
Comments (0)I feel I'm over-posting about kitchen sinks, but I hope this my last. My wife would like an undermounted equal-double stainless steel kitchen sink with a low divider. However, she doesn't really want two "square" basins. She wants a curved shape on the faucet side like Kohler's cast iron "Langlade" model and I've been unable to find such a shape in stainless steel. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes such a sink? Thanks....See MoreEase in replacing under-mount apron sink?
Comments (13)I replace sinks for a living and have yet to pull a countertop to replace a sink except in solid surface. You tap the cabinet front off, change the sink, and put it back on. I've done it twenty times. Did it the day before yesterday. For easiest sink changes, insist that your fabricator strap, not insert fasten, your sink in place with a Hercules Universal Sink Harness (Braxton Bragg) or a Sink Strap (Regent Stone Products) or two. Two easily accessible bolts instead of 12 inaccessible ones. I'd change a strapped apron undermount in a hour at most. Make sure he puts a nice radius at your sink cut-out too, 3/8" minimum. No pencil edge, please....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 MoreKitchen Sink SS - undermount/reveal/flush?
Comments (8)We havent decided between Granite or Taj Mahal Quartzite yet. Our cabinet size is 31 1/2 inch and new cabinet will have 3/4 ply so opening will only be 30". We have been advised to get a 29" sink or smaller. We are hoping to not have to do a sink top dish rack, rather something inside the sink. This is why we were looking at a divided sink. Our existing sink is a 14" bowl on one side and 12" bowl on other side and is top mount. Our Uncle had told us that the low divide is advantageous so the pot handles can be washed in that area without hitting sink sides. We have a single sink at our cottage and have to only fill part way to wash the dishes, as the sink fills up more when you rinse the dishes. We also have to have a countertop dish rack/tray to put the dishes in to dry. For our new kitchen at home we are trying to not have a dish rack on the counter....See MoreSabrina Alfin Interiors
