For easy maintenance and less silicone at the side, undermounting the sink would be a better choice.

When customers ask me this top or under question, i will first ask them,

1) Your old sink is under or top? Most of them will answer under (90%)

2) How long have you been using the current sink in your old house?? (common reply 5 - 10 years)

3) Have you ever change the old kitchen sink before? (upto date none of my customers change their sink)

After answering these 3 questions, they will find the answer that is to undermount their new sink.

THe only sink that can fit a big wok nicely is KS 9049 and this is designed by Builders Hardware, only available here. Unfortunately, the width is 900mm, so cant fit your size. Do drop by my shop and will give you good advise.

usually shop dont do the hole, plumber will know how to make the hole.

thanks.

this is for new condo, so the whole kitchen top is newly built.

kitchen consultant said for sink replacement, the whole quartz top may need to be removed, hence the tedious part.

assuming the chances of sink spoilt is extremely rare in 5-10years, of course undermount would be ideal.


sure, would drop by your office to have a look some choices.


i'm interested with GKS 7851 (granite). can PM me the indicative price or can you share the latest catalogue?

If your main purpose is to get a sink to fit a wok, GKS 7851 wont fit it nicely like KS 9049.

May b u can bring the 3D drawing of your cabinet design with measurement, then i can advise on that as well.

with 760mm, dont think can fit a wok but GKS 785 would suffice for the time being.

sure, will bring the measurement/plans when dropping by.

Noted. anyway, i had bought a tools from IKEA to open a sink hole. Not that expensive though. Will try it out with that first.

Thanks

been reading from page 1..good information.. thanks all that contribute

Granite sink is heavy, how they actually do it under mount ?

gotten measurements from kc contractor.

max width about 508mm (should be the bowl size). 50mm spacing on left & right.

i'd change to stainless steel


any suggestion for stainless steel with bowl size of 508mm (max)? budget about rm600, preferably not more

Malaysia undermount style is not really mounting the sink under of the table top.

The granite sink is installed resting on your cabinet and then the top is installed above it. The cabinet will be supporting the sink.

dont really understand what u wan but you can check here

I have existing solid surface, I can get top mount only then . Sink is expensive nowadays, can't afford a granite sink. I have one normal sink, but without the water tap hole...is this normal? Installer can drill?

thanks.

finally found a good unit, Sorento SRTKS 5040 @ 544 x 444 x 200 x 1.0mm (bowl size: 500 x 400 mm), just nice fitting my new cabinet.

price is about rm450. if come with tap, about rm550.

Depends brand that you but, some shop can help you drill hole for the tap before you install.

What brand of sink you bought? Mine from Sorento, the shop will open the tap hole for me before my installer install for me.

I was wondering if there is any type of sink like the one attached in the market anymore? The type of sink I'm looking is with 2 large bowls and a drainer on each side of the sink. The one shown was the original sink that came with the house and I want to either reuse the same sink or get something similar but larger.

The sinks I see nowadays do not have any place to let the washed dishes drain. I see in IKEA after washing straightaway put the wet dishes into the cabinet Won't the moisture cause the wood cabinet to rot? To me I want the convenience of the water draining into the sink on its own rather than wet my countertop.

Edit: Want to ask, this type of sink can integrate with kitchen cabinet? Planning a renovation soon for my house, if possible want to reuse the same sink.

Forgotten the brand, its not a big brand. we forget to ask the shop to open the hole, and the contractor did the piping under the sink, so the water inlet is not on the wall.

Anyway, i had used the Ikea sink hole opener tools to open a hole on a sink.
It was easy and the hole looks as nice.

What tool you used? Can show here?

Boss, how much is this? Looks good

Boss, how much is this? I like this. What brand is this?
