nano sink wont peel but sure scratch depending on how u jaga the sink only, once scratch u will c the silver or original stainless steel colour, so not nice lo. i usually suggest nano sink for dry kitchen not for heavy use. Many sellers demo like scratch proof and also some seller sell 201 grade steel but claim 304 grade. So how to differentiate? too cheap to be true confirm 201 grade, then touch the surface of the nano coat, some rough some smooth, smooth 1 usually last longer. For Nano Sink, i have many suppliers but mainly i sell HUN more as i feel their coating is smoothest. Usually we would only know whether a product is good or not after using, so honestly i never use before but from questioning several suppliers, i get a clearer and more accurate answer that regular consumer cant get Also beware of prices too low to be true also, could be "B" Grade stock. Some of our suppliers for example Cabana or Sorento, sometimes got defect stock such as minor dent or scratches, we will reject back to them, so example production 1000 units, 5% defect rate got 50 units for just 1 model. If got 10 models then got 500 sinks, impossible they throw it away right. So they will sell cheaper to some online Seller and they sell below market price.

QUOTE(dixonleong @ Aug 22 2021, 01:39 PM) Hi all, have a sorento 2029l sink as per pic, there is some leak i suspect from the round rubber. Where can i get replacement and any idea how i dismantle? The piping is not the 1 I'm familiar with from 2nd picture, seems loose, above the sink at the waste, tighten the nut with a 10 cent coin![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by zheilwane: Aug 22 2021, 03:45 PM |

QUOTE(thinkgoodpositive @ Aug 8 2023, 10:02 AM) Hi all, If I predrill opening /hole on the concrete table top to put - water tap - filter tap - POU water filter white hoses (2 hoses) passing thru. because the sink is those small edge and can't drill hole. Is this ok and convenient for future maintenance? What is the opening holes size recommended? Thanks ![]() make sure ur contractor open a bigger hole on concreate if not the tap wont b long enough then. As per photo, the tap is mounted on the tiles not concrete, example, cold tap tiles make 25mm diameter but on concrete make 70 - 80mm, as long as ur hand or tools can fit into the hole to tighten the nut. On Tiles, Standard size Cold Tap = 25mm Mixer tap or pull out tap = 35mm Filter tap in general 12-15mm but some brand 25mm also got, so buy first before drill ahsui liked this post

QUOTE(mushigen @ Sep 11 2023, 10:14 AM) Good advice there. jus get a bigger base cold tap, hole 35mm so get a base with 50 - 55mmMay I know if existing kitchen uses mixer tap, we will not be able to replace with regular cold tap due to the existing bigger hole on the the countertop? Must use spacer or washer to overcome this issue? |

Many sellers claim that NANO sinks are better especially HONEYCOMB type. They claim, stain resistant, wont scratch, wont rust and etc etc, so i bought one unit online, here is the honest review for it This post has been edited by zheilwane: Nov 7 2023, 09:56 AM |

QUOTE(lildocker @ Nov 7 2023, 04:26 PM) I have a sink with angular corners, and two of these corners have developed rust (due to difficulty to clean). It's an undermount sink, so future replacement will be challenging. Is there any way to prevent the rust from worsening? share photo may b is stain not rust 1) photo of overall sink 2) photo of the stain |
