Hi,
Does anyone have underbench sinks? I like the look but wonder how practical they are and what problems people have with them.
Cheers,
Michelle

There have been a few threads about undermounted sinks and most people seem to like the look of them but are concerned as to where you drain dishes. Most sinks come with accessories like drainers that sit in one of the sinks. I love the Abbey range shown by picture below...

I think these sinks look great, but I have always thought that over time there would be a really bad build up of grime where the sink and the bench meet. At display homes I've been at with this style, there seems to be enough room between the two that there would eventually be a problem. Jo P.S. Great user name! I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Underbench Sink? 4Jun 06, 2008 10:22 pm I have DuPont Corian benchtops with under bench SS sinks fitted. They applied a bead of silicone between them when they were fitted, and it is a positive seal. But yes, it is an area that can accumulate gunge. It requires a gentle clean with a scrub brush and rinsing from time to time.
With Corian and some other agglomerate surfaces, you can get integrated sinks in the same material, providing a seamless finish. I have this in the bathroom, an integrated basin in Corian. Ash. Re: Underbench Sink? 5Jun 07, 2008 7:22 am Yes the grunge is a thing I am worried about.
MrsB - love the look of those sinks and thanks for the forum. Joles - I love mustang's can you tell. We had a mustang for our wedding car in Hawaii. Ash - do you have photos of the integrated sink? Cheers, Michelle Have had stone benches with undermount sink (kitchen) and drop-in (laundry) and top-mounted basin (bathrooms) for coming up 13 years and not one chip/scratch of any kind.… 2 9678 |
