Hi all, im looking for sink for my new house, after reading some pages in this post, those brands like sorento, teka, levanzo are way out of my budget. Wondering if those shopee one few hundred bucks boleh pakai or not.



Am i right to say top mounted sink is more suitable in wet kitchen as it is more frequently used? Dry kitchen can have undermount since use lesser and also look nice?

Yes, its doable and its a common setting.

Just make sure to buy your sink, hood & hob and pass them to your contractor before start work

Consider granite top. instead of 2x2 tiles

I too have limited experience, just sharing.

Cost, you gotta check.

Quartz and granite hovers ard 25-30mm thick, meanwhile even if you use homogeneous tiles its only 10mm thick. Secondly Q & Granite slab weight (being heavier) sets in better in the mortar bedding, compare to tiles. 2x2 tiles tends to wrap at corners, you will have tile pointing flatness problem between tiles. For a kitchen counter top that is crucial (for me)

Any chopping area in particular, tiles is a no no (in my opinion, specially you mentioned 2x2)

For a one time mind free rework, engage a reliable wet trade contractor to do the RC from plinth to top finish. Don't forget the backsplash skirt

It can be done under the sink. Your contractor should know if that is your requirement.
