Any suggestions?

    • @RemodelMedia
      @RemodelMedia  4 роки тому +1

      I could almost make this an episode of Quick Tip Tuesday. In fact I might. The short answer is you MIGHT be stuck. Rectangles are generally easier shapes to match than others. Do you happen to know the make and model of the original sink? I could answer the question. You should also keep in mind that you are going from a thicker material (composite material / composite stone) to a thinner material (stainless) which will throw off your measurements slightly as well. If you don't know the make/model send me a photo on Twitter/Instagram @remodelmedia or email info@remodelmedia.tv and I'll see if I can help you.

Is there a formula for how tall a person is to how deep the sink should be? One reason I prefer a divided sink is because I can rest a pan on the center portion while scrubbing. Also, what about the faucet and how high or low should it be so as not to cause so much splashing? Maybe I’m overthinking this! Thanks!

    Awesome video. I think I'll go with fireclay. I like the look of the gloss, and the fact that it's one material all the way thru.
    One question, how would it hold up to cast iron skillets?

    • @RemodelMedia
      @RemodelMedia  5 років тому +1

      It's incredibly durable. Obviously if you hit anything hard enough with a cast iron skillet it will break, however you'd litterally have to swing it like Rapunzel in Tangled to make an impact. Just moving it around and casually bumping you'll be fine.

    This video is a few years old so I don't know if I'll get any response, but I'm looking for a sink right now and need help. We are looking for a double bowl, porcelain sink with an integrated drainboard. We're having such a difficult time! The reason we want this is two fold: it's very handy and it is aesthetically appropriate for our 1947 kitchen. The fireclay sounds like it might be a good choice, but I DON'T like the apron front style. If you have any tips on where to look (we're in Oregon) I would love to hear it. Very informative video, by the way :-)

    • @RemodelMedia
      @RemodelMedia  3 роки тому +1

      First you’re very welcome I’m happy to help. However as I’m sure you’ve discovered there is a lack of availability when it comes to this kind of thing in cast-iron or fire clay. Kohler and CECO sinks are the only two companies left in the cast-iron game. The truth is the bowl orientation that you’re looking for is most likely going to be found in copper, stainless steel, or composite granite. There is another option however you can have a drainboard molded into your countertop if you use some sort of a man-made thing like a Corian or a concrete countertop.

    Very helpful. A general discussion about price comparison, not even amounts, would have been very, very helpful❗
    We all know there are tradeoffs, but I don't know how much the cost difference is of one over the other. Is it a 10% difference? 30%? 50%? That info can be equally as important to a budget!
    Also, which of the options add the most cost? Is it the mount style? Or the sink style? Or the hardware? Where are you going to spend crazy amounts of money if you aren't care?

      Personal preference really but I think either a flush install or a negative reveal where the countertop hangs into the sink a little is easier to keep clean.

    Question! Which sink mount would you recommend to someone with a bad mold allergy? I imagine most people apply sealer to the sink so water doesn't get into the cabinets drawers below, or is this a matter of avoiding wood cabinets altogether with any sink?

Never did like the idea of an area where water etc can collect with the positive edge or raised edge types of installs.... Take care :)

      ​@@davidwitten3141 Hi..... Hope all is well with you.... I have not as yet purchased a sink like that one.... I'd love to, though... I have only ever owned enameled cast iron cookware.so I'm not the best to advise about what could happen if a cast iron pan is left in the sink for more than a little while... You could perhaps put a an old towel you don't care about in the bottom of the sink and put your pan on that...

      Hi David - absolutely correct. I love sink accessories like this. As far as stainless, yes it can be restored, but some people don't want the hassle. Different strokes for different folks. I just want everyone to know exactly what to expect. I dove into your comment in my recent livestream (link below) at about the 38 minute mark.

    Good video! Thanks....
    One of my concerns is the reveal. Sinks with rounded edges are going to have a big, angled space that collects scum, especially if you don't have a positive reveal. It seems like a S.S. sink with an extremely flat surface would provide the most attractive and functional seal regardless of if you had a positive or neutral reveal.
    I want the smooth attractive reveal, but I don't want a S.S. sink.
    I'm probably going to roll the dice and go with a Fireclay undermount.
