Last year i bought a golden vantage kitchen sink T-304 for redecoration my kitchen. I love it. You can see it.

Does any one know where to get in Malaysia:
1. Kraus kitchen sink
2. Glass curtains

Thanks

Anyone use before KOEN kitchen sink?
Is it any good?

Guys any idea how to fix this?
The tap thread broke and stuck there on the wall piping
Now cannot use the tap because no thread to put

The easy way is get a tap and retreat back.

There are so many brands out there, most of them look similar as they are OEM in china with standard size and designs, many customers are looking sinks that are deep the prevent water splashing, however that is not the problem. Problem is the size of the sink, ur sink must b big enough to fit the pots and woks straight in, hence water will only splash inside the sink and not on top of it. As standard table top is 600mm, most manufacturers only order 440 to 450mm stainless steel sheet, hence rarely u will find a sink that is big enough to fit a wok.

HCE Chef series is a customized design sink (not the standard type by manufacturer) tailored made to fit Asian wok size (40cm diameter). I believe this the best kitchen sink design & size that you can ever find and fit on the standard table top size of 600mm.

I like the Kraus sink but seem to hard to find in KL. Got a deal in Amazon that I can consider but the shipping and handling is more than the cost of the sink! That said the sink price is very cheap. With all costs in do you think worth buying??

What technology or special about kraus as similar design u can get it below RM 700 in malaysia example HCE brand with 1.2mm thickness, except they do not have the bottom rack accessory

i tried looking at their website, cant find any info about their brand except it is from USA. is it scratch proof or etc that make it so exp? interested to know as well

I think it is German brand but sold well in US. I am not sure but it can be manufactured in China as well. It's Sinks are made from extra-tough T304 stainless steel for exceptional resistance to corrosion and rust. It is constructed using dent-resistant TRU16 real 16 gauge with 1.5mm thick. The bottom of the sink is padded to improve sound proofing. So the sinks are very quiet and durable.

One of the better stainless steel sinks around.

All sinks will have rubber padded at the bottom to reduce noise as well.

Done more research online, they claim to be using T304 stainless steel, it is actually the same as local term SUS304

"T304 (or type 304) and SUS304 are the same. T304 is the american term, SUS304 is the japanese JIS term" copied online

So basically if u can scout for brands that are 1.5mm with sus304, it will be similar to KRAUS. it is easy to get 1.2mm sinks as they are already very tough (our older sinks usually are 0.8 - 1mm and already can last us many years), recent trend is 1.2mm but i do know some brands with 1.5mm and some even 3mm. However, from what i know some brands that are giving 1.5 or 3mm at the edges only while the bowl is only 1mm or 0.9mm. Manufacturers welded the 1.5mm or 3mm edges to the 1mm bowl.

Thanks for the info. Kraus thickness of 1.5mm is for the entire sink. What is the thickness is HCE chef series? I may drop by your shop to check it out. I assume you carry Teka too? Franke?

no bro i dont carry teka or franke. Most hand made sinks are the same thickness for entire sink while some brands do cut some corners promising 3mm or 1.5mm but not entire sink, hard to tell also as they have a thick layer of coating behind of the sink

ceramic vs stainless steel sink... any owners can comment the pros and cons of it?

Ceramic or granite sink?

I own Blanco sinks in my current house. Advantages of granite sinks are:
1. Highly durable. Brand such as Blanco is made in Germany and is tough as nail. Mine have no scratches after 10 years of use
2. If you choose non white they are practically stain free. White color may stain a little after many years of usage unless you are super careful
3. They fit both traditional and modern homes
4. Maintenance free.
5. Many color choices to match any deco


Disadvantages
1. Don't drop any expensive glass or crystal on it. The chance of them surviving is practically zero
2. Most are generally more expensive although you can find many that are not made in China


As for stainless steel sinks, they match well with very modern minimalist homes. You can get one from 500 to 5000. Most are made in China especially those sold in Malaysia. You have to pay 3000+ for those Germany or US ones.

can recommend any farmhouse sink? or apron sink?

blanco have any sink with front exposed?

What is "front exposed"?
Apron sink?

You can get an extractor bit. It look like a oversize drill bit.

Most manufacturers will have it. Kohler, Blanco, etc.
