    I bought composite granite sink for my kitchen remodel about 8 years ago. It was brown in color. After some time I started to notice a whiteish haze on the sink. Now we do live in a house which uses a water softener. But the discoloration of that sink does not make the statement that I wanted. I have not found anything to clean it long term. You can rub oil on it and it does mask the problem for a short period of time. I’ve had stainless before I didn’t like the drum sound even with a high quality insulated model. So at this point if I had it to do again I guess I would go with something that can be cleaned like porcelain, but colored.

    Regret. Allowed contractor to put a 7 inch shallow double sink. After 7 years of a splashed countertop, My wife now wants a deeper single sink. Undermount sink in granite countertop. Installer, who did a great job, strongly discouraged her from making the change. He stated the size has to be exactly the same, since the countertop is granite. Our previous house we had a deep composite and loved it.
    Warn to state that the contractor said that the plumbing setup, kitchen on slab, precluded a deeper sink.

      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.

    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.

    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?

    Thanks for all of this useful information. What is the ideal depth of a sink so as not to cause back strain from leaning over. 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!

      So many sinks are too deep to be comfortably used, yet vendors act like extra depth is a premium feature.

    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 :-)

      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.

    Hi Dave, thanks for this video. It is the most comprehensive video I've seen on the subject. I need direction on removing and replacing a sink. Help. It was suggested to replace with a similar size and shape which is fine, if I can find one in stainless steel. The problem is this man made material, was made in an shape and I'm stuck. 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. Thanks for watching and make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an episode.

    Porcelain sinks have no “give” to absorb impacts so chinking into the sides causes more cracks or chips in glassware and crockery than less rigid materials.

    • @RemodelMedia
      @RemodelMedia  4 роки тому

      True, especially today's cast iron which has much less lead and is less maleable and therefore less resistant to shock. Old cast iron was so durable due to the lead in the metal.

    Nice information, this I should have known two years ago, I had a black 'composite' sink I thought looked like 1.000$ then I remodeled my kitchen and bought the cheapest sink I found, in stainless steel, and kind of regret a little, because, just like he say, I must clean it all the time, what would be interesting is the possibilities to replace the sink and/or paint it or something, do not think that is possible but....

    • @RemodelMedia

      Unfortunately right now I am not aware of a way to paint stainless and keep the finish consistent. Perhaps heat tempering? But that’s not something you would do at home.

    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?

    Why the most elegant and relatively the most demanding way of building in the sink is not mentioned - it is the building the sink in level with working surface - the composite sinks and stainless sinks could be build in the kitchen in that way and if made properly it give amazing effect.

      That’s a great question. Thank you for asking. The short answer is they’re very resistant. They’re the same material all the way through. They’re baked to a much higher temperature than cast-iron. Here’s a little demonstration for you. vm.tiktok.com/J8A7a84/

    He did not talk about maintenenceof the composite. That is the one thing I was interested in finding out. I had a composite granite sink. It was beautiful but would easily get water stains and a dingy look. Very pretty when new or freshly iled but usually looked dirty even when it was clean. I was wondering if they have improved in the last several years.

    That was fantastic thanks. I’m not sure anyone makes the kind of sink I want. Small bowl not stainless steel, not liable to cracking, not under hanging. I would like one that overlaps the kitchen counter so no mucky bits accumulate, with an integral splash back. I’m in France if anyone knows if this even exists. The current sink is tiny and I’d like a tiny one to replace it. Thanks anyway for a great video so informative.
