lyefam 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2012 Yaya!! Copy lyefam.....Later I realised the s/s bottom grid plastic legs got gaps. So imagine if you put the grid into the sink, the small food particles would get trapped and you spend time washing and digging them out. Take a close look on the plastic legs to know why.So lucky me and those who copy me would have escape the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kraus bathroom sink with waterfall faucetAccording to what was found online, it requires more work to create a square or rectangle sink as compared to the conventional round edge sinks. That's the reason for the price difference.For those who purchased Kraus sink, could you share when will be a good time to purchase it? Is it before you start your reno works or midway but must be delivered before final measurements for your carpentry? Did anyone went old school and did a concrete slab for the sink area?

Did anyone went old school and did a concrete slab for the sink area?I purchased mine before I start reno. The dimension provided online on Kraus sink is accurate and the contractor can use it for measurements. But my contractor want the actual sink to be around when doing final measurements. Just in case I think.Me no old sch. No concrete slab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She said her fren who also does that dropped her foundation bottle into her glass sink and kenna chipped - cos of the angle and velocity etc. Needless to say, gotta replace the whole sink... Of course, can argue about quality and thickness of glass etc but I rather not take the risk...very sim tiah...

innerlight 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2012 Hi, another one bites the Kraus dust! But although I bought the same 23inch as Kim76, I hope I can still fit in the kitchen tap. Kim76, what's your countertop width or depth? 600mm? The space left for the tap looks so tight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kim76, what's your countertop width or depth? 600mm? The space left for the tap looks so tight!I think the standard kitchen cabinet's depth is 600mm. There are plenty of space to install a typical kitchen tap. Your cabinet contractor would have to cut out the the holes for your sink and tap.Next your countertop contractor would do the on-site measurements. Within a week's time, the countertop would be delivered with cut holes and your sink (undermount or topmount) have to be present for mounting.Next the plumber would come to do the final tap installation and water piping inspection.
