I think that accurately describes my reaction to them Agreed - they look absolutely beautiful but not for me thanks! And yes, we have lots of chips in the stone's edge, especially between the 2 sinks Re: Undermount sink under laminate 18May 20, 2014 7:43 am [quote="MalSannie"]Hi Jaeger LeCoultre - 'undermount-sink-phobia' made my day! I think that accurately describes my reaction to them Agreed - they look absolutely beautiful but not for me thanks! And yes, we have lots of chips in the stone's edge, especially between the 2 sinks /quote] And we have none. It really depends on the type of bowl you buy and the type of person you are. Our double undermount has no stone between the bowls greatly reducing chipping issues. I also find that some people are just plain careless and don't concentrate on what they are doing there for bashing plates and pans into stone edges. (not having a go at you) Personally I couldn't be without out undermount. Its just a breeze to wipe straight into the sink especially after rolling out pizza doe on the stone!!

Very easy to wipe up as per CEK says above with his stone bench. I was very surprised when I came to Aus. to see most sinks were of the drop in sort with the lip 2-3mm above the bench.

Stewie The first time I saw an under mount sink on laminate bench is in an Ikea catalogue in the 90's and I couldn't figure out how it was done. Then I saw one in real life in a kitchen showroom in Germany and was amazed by it. I guess each type of sinks has its pros and cons. It really depends on what you like and how well you and your family members care for the sink (even my last dog was using the sink, he managed to steal chicken wings that were sitting in the sink!). 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 8276 Please google this video regarding the Regulations for a Laundry trough: i-dont-want-laundry-tub-can-i-use-sink-instead 13 12192 DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair At a bit of a loss on this one - we're thinking the original owners never removed the protective laminate covers from their kitchen cabinets after installation and in the… 0 4611 |
