Practicality of under-bench kitchen sinks

[thisisme]

Thank you so much for that Krystal! It is much appreciated. Oliveri MO70U is the one I am thinking of getting. What is your experience with benchtop joins + undermount sinks + tap in the benchtop? Would you recommend for the tap to be slightly off center or for the join to be of center?

Not sure i completely follow what you're asking...

Are they putting the tap and the join in the same spot?

Hi Krystal- yes I think that's what Thisisme is asking as she was told not to put the tap where the stone joined. What do you think?

[701Design]

I definitely wouldnt recommend it...

Though I have never had to do it - or seen it done. I'll ask Nino (my stone guy) tommorow and see what he says. Knowing him, his expertise and his honesty, I should be able to come up with a good answer for you.

You definitely would NOT do it if its laminate benchtop!!

Thanks Krystal. I hope you are not really stressing out - take it nice and easy

Love undermount.............plan to have one on our island but a normal one in butlers pantry...which might I add I picked up for $50 on clearance at bunnings last week... (orig price $215)...

My undermount sink has been in for a few days now and I love it. I went for a single large and deep sink and had drainer grooves put into my stone on one side. Very happy so far...

[Julie-Ann]

That is brilliant Beautimbers. Are you happy with your colours after all that? We would love to see pictures.

[Julie-Ann]

By the end of the week- that's great Beautimbers. I love ice makers in fridges- they are so much fun. Hopefully we can see pictures on the weekend then.

Our kitchen builder suggested to us, not to get undermount sinks... I cannot remember why, but it was a good reason not to get them at the time lol.... maybe I will check with hubby and get back to you lol

I personally don't like the look of them.
