I gave this one a like because he presents the pros and cons without being opinionated.
Thank you very much I’ve been doing this for 16 years and one thing I learned is every product is right for somebody. There is no one-size-fits-all.
I quoted you in today’s CZcams short. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻 czcams.com/video/qRQK7LAorMc/video.html
Oh, he's opinionated - he thinks a dishwasher is superior to hand wash. Which it is.
@@RemodelMedia you said 13 years in the video. I have a new opinion of you now 😀
@@weekendwarrior3420 I beg to differ. #teamhandwash
He's a true sink connoisseur, didn't know there was such an expertise.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@@robertsincere3964 I can help you with many things but unfortunately that is not something that is my area of expertise. Do you have your Facebook and Instagram linked? Perhaps Facebook customer service can help you log back in?
And Hobby Less thank you for watching. 😃
“I’ve had people say, ‘that’s my wife’s problem.’ To which I say, ‘Well, let me know how that works out for ya.’” 😂👌
It’s a true story too. 😂
I am planning a kitchen remodel right now, and I almost forgot about the sink. Good thing this showed up in my suggestions. Thanks for saying bougie. It made my night. 😂
Thanks for watching. And you’re welcome, we all need to be a little bougie once in a while. 😂 Also if you send me pics of anything I was able to help you with, I do a video about it.
@@RemodelMedia if I do a 3/8 positive reveal on an undermount will that work as a workstation or no?
@@larios86 that’s a great question. I’m glad you asked. While 3/8 sounds like plenty it can vary depending on the brand. Here are my tips. czcams.com/users/shortsvfGKUUDmUCM?feature=share
You answered questions I didn't even know I needed to ask! Thank you so much.
You’re very welcome. I’m happy to help.
Super helpful, never realised there was so much to think about before making a decision. Thank you so much
Great video! I was actually on CZcams looking for advice on kitchen faucets but I still watched this all the way through. Thank you!
I've read in depth summaries of sink types, but this is the best and it's nice to have a visual.
Normally I dislike videos produced by businesses, because they're always biased toward one brand. This video presents the various benefits and issues with each type of installation, without veering into mentioning brands. Well done, sir, and thanks for not insisting that people subscribe, lol.
Thank you so much! So glad for this information as I'm just deciding on a sink for my remodel. Very helpful information.
Thanks, Dave. Our house came with a sink that was divided and somewhat shallow. On a whim, we replaced it with a deeper single sink. It is amazing how much we prefer these changes
You’re very welcome. I’m glad you found it useful.
You really helped me understand all of the options for kitchen sinks! Great video.
Great video... Good to know the terminology. Makes it easier to convey what you are looking to achieve when speaking with a contractor.
That was my primary goal when making this video. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode.
Absolutely excellent info! Thank you very much!
Everything explained so well. Thanks.
Thank you Dave for sharing your knowledge. Awesome video.
I like your sense of humor..😃😃😃
Thank you!
Great info.
Thanks much. This was helpful. I didn't know sinks had so much going on!
Wow, this was great!!! Thank you for posting this information for us. Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if there's any thing you want me to cover.
I was concerned about stainless steel scratches when getting a new one (many varieties and size availability at good cost) but learnt how to take those out by fine grain sandpaper and make it look really shiny good again
Thanks Dave! I have been looking for this type of information. Very appreciate your knowledge and share,
VERY helpful. I chose a granite composite and everything he said is true about finish and feel. Mine (Blanco) has a slight curve on the front side (not a farmer style) which is really nice. I'm excited to see it installed. Its an undermount.
I’d love to see pictures of the finished project. You can email me, tweet me or tag me or Instagram.
Super helpful!!! Thank you for explaining everything! Awesome content
Thanks for watching. I’m happy to help.
Very good general information. Wish i had seen this before our remodel.
This is the main reason I started this channel. I’ve heard so many people say “I wish I knew” when they got to the end of a project. My goal is to help everybody illuminate regret with making decisions for their remodel. Tell me more, what sink did you end up with? What would you have done differently?
This was super informative. Ordered a fireclay sink and this helps me confirm I made the correct choice
Happy to help 🙂
Thanks Dave.

Thank you so much for this video. I live in France and French salespersons do not give you such complete information. I am sorry I won’t be able to buy from you shop. Kind regards, Elisabeth
Thanks for watching Elizabeth. Let me know if there is a specific question or topic you want me to cover. I'm all about giving people all the options and helping them make a better decision for themselves. I figure if I give you options either, A) you'll find something you like better, or B) you'll feel better about the original decision. I addressed your comment in my recent live stream, you can watch it here at about the 46 minute mark.
Thank you so much for this video! I've been pulling my hair out trying to find a sink for my remodel. I want something that's low maintenance but will last for a while.
I would recommend looking at the composite granite models I have linked in the description. Those are terrific 😊
@@RemodelMedia I ended up with a granite sink and I love it. I bought a Kraus KGU-413B, 31-inch, undermount, single bowl, black onyx, granite kitchen sink. I only wish it sloped a bit more towards the center where the drain is, but otherwise, it's perfect.
Fire clay sink sounds like just what I want thanks 🙏
Hello, I ran across your content and have found really helpful tips. Was wondering if you had any experience with Bocchi granite sinks. Look very similar to blanco but at a slightly lower price. Considering this brand
Great video! Glad there is a sink master in the world.

I never thought about what kind of reval I wanted. Is there one that is more versatile than the others for future possible sink replacement? Great video.
I learned a lot today thank you.

Thank you. I had no idea there were so many options with sinks.

Hi Dave,
Really liked the video. Very good information. Thank you.
Awesome video I'm just seeing now! Thank you!
Question, any reason why the negative reveal in the kitchen is "unusual"and usually in the bathroom? Are they less sanitary or anything?
Thank you! You’re great!
You’re very welcome ☺️ I’m so glad I could help.
Very good video. Thank you!
Happy to help. Are you planning a remodel?
very nice video david please post more big sink fan here!!
Very helpful thank you!

Great info Dave! Thanks
You’re very welcome
Very informative and educational. Would have like to hear your personal preference. Thank you
Thank you,
Expertly explained
You are welcome!
I just watched a kitchen sink video that was way over-simplified and really geared towards one type sink I felt. Saw your comments below it and checked this out to try and find some real info on the subject...LOL
Valla Miller thanks! I hope you got some good info out of it. :-)
I also hope you stick around and check out some of my other videos. I post new content at least once a week.
Thank you so much for the video.
Great info!
The fireclay sink looks good.
My sink is crappy at the moment every time I wash something or even my hands I get water on the bench top towards the wall area which I then have to wipe which is annoying.Got to be careful to wash my hands carefully,I think it is just a cheap design.Just got into the pro perty.My last living place had a nice sink,never had that issue.
Fireclay is pretty great 👍🏻 I think you’ll like it
Thank you for this video!! Sorry I was late. I got stuck in traffic.
Thanks Bunches ! Very Informative
You’re very welcome ☺️
Great presents. Thanks so much.
Very helpful with humor.
Thank you 😊
Very good . Thank you.
I’m glad to help. Are you starting a project? Any specific questions I can answer?
Thank you for this informative video! I’m renovating my kitchen and had no idea how hard it would be deciding on the sink…your video helped solidify my choice! ☺️
Your very welcome. I’m happy to help. If you need any other advice feel free to reach out.
Very informative 👍
This is very helpful. Thank you
You’re very welcome happy to help 😃
Hi Dave in this video you mention the granite sink can be mat finish or with sparkle. I would like to find one grey sink with sparkle but I don’t know how to search it online. The pictures usually are not that good so I can’t see it. Do you know any brand that does the sparkle sink? Thanks
Hi Dave. Thank you so much for this. I would like to replace my existing 1.5 sink bowl with a multifunctional sink which appears to be in trend these days. But my sink is 1000*500mm and the multifunctional function sink is 890*450. What can I do to cover the gap or would it be bad idea to change the sink. I do not wish to change the countertop. TIA
Thank you, Dave....you have been VERY helpful.. 👍👍. 🍺
You’re very welcome. Happy to help. 😃
@@RemodelMedia hello! This video helped me so much. I do have a question. I do care about what my sink looks like so I am leaning more towards the granite sinks. Do these sinks scratch, rust, or leave water marks? Everything in my kitchen will be stainless steel but I don’t want to deal with the ugly scratches that comes with it and the maintenance.
Great Video thank you
Hello thank you for this informative video. My question looking for a double sink with sliding drainboard with a deep right side sink for my kitchen? I grew up with the farmers sink and later saw this in stainless steel. Where can I find this.
So helpful! Thank you!
You’re very welcome happy to help 👍🏻
Great advice
Thank you 😊
Hi Dave, thanks for this video. It is the most comprehensive video I've seen on the subject. I need direction on removing and replacing a sink. Help. It was suggested to replace with a similar size and shape which is fine, if I can find one in stainless steel. The problem is this man made material, was made in an shape and I'm stuck. Any suggestions?
I could almost make this an episode of Quick Tip Tuesday. In fact I might. The short answer is you MIGHT be stuck. Rectangles are generally easier shapes to match than others. Do you happen to know the make and model of the original sink? I could answer the question. You should also keep in mind that you are going from a thicker material (composite material / composite stone) to a thinner material (stainless) which will throw off your measurements slightly as well. If you don't know the make/model send me a photo on Twitter/Instagram @remodelmedia or email info@remodelmedia.tv and I'll see if I can help you. Thanks for watching and make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an episode.
I want to change out my "built in corian" sink with a step that supports the faucets in a corian counter and don't want to change the counter top. Is there such a sink that is a "drop in" type farmhouse design sink?? that supports the faucets as well??
Great Video! So helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative and interesting.
Big 👍🏻........Thank you!
You’re welcome
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. My question is when it comes to colors in granite composite sinks which colors are the easiest to keep looking nice and clean
Hi Cindy, check out my recent Quick Tip Tuesday Video here on how to clean your composite granite. czcams.com/video/qHCKJ9VeK1E/video.html
In general the lighter the finish the easier to keep clean. Let me know if this helps!
Thank you for sharing all this, very helpful! One quick question; at the very end of the video there's a sink on your left or my right and the faucet looks like it's for a restaruant, what is that style called?? :P
Hope this answers your question The reality about prerinse style kitchen faucets #shorts #plumbing #faucets
czcams.com/users/shortsX4uhG08pf4s?feature=share
Good information Dave...what about the person that has to replace the sink in a hole that is already there...?
Thanks for asking the question. I hope this latest episode of Quick Tip Tuesday got to the core of the issue. If you send me a photo along with your measurements, and any other details I’ll see what options I can come up with.

Aawww I’ve been wanting a white farmhouse front apron sink forever 😥 but I didn’t know it would scratch or crack around the drain and rust ... bummer 🥺 . I also didn’t know that I needed this video 🤭 , thank you for sharing.
Then I’ve got good news 😃. That’s only true if the sink you’re looking at is cast-iron. You can still have your sink if it’s fireclay. Fireclay doesn’t chip or rust the way porcelain enamel cast-iron does. So go get that farmhouse sink.
Anyone who owns a short apron farmhouse cast iron or a fireclay sink? What are your thoughts vs one or the other in your experiences and what brands? Thanks in advance.
@@RemodelMedia ,
Awesome sauce 🥳 I will get me a fireclay sink after all - thank you.
Thanks, subscribed.
Regarding the composite stone material, Is that easy to maintain or does it start to look tired down the road. Will it scratch or chip? Also I like the look of the farm sink but is there any functional drawback? Thank u
I am looking into a Workstation kitchen sink and would like to know which company makes the best one with all the bells and whistle Thank You in advance Great fantastic information
I have an older solid porcelain sink and it will occasionally get rust marks that can be cleaned away. I was under the impression a solid porcelain sink never rusts. Also, our sink is an under mount with granite and there’s a grout line. I’m not a fan of the grout because now it needs total redoing. Did I understand you correctly that sinks can be a under mount without grout? Thank you your video was very informative and I’m thinking about replacing my sink.
Great video
Very helpful
Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions I can answer.
Thanks for such an informative video..... I've saved it on two of my Pinterest boards !! When I reno or have a home built, I'll be going the fireclay sink with back and side negative edge installation.... Never did like the idea of an area where water etc can collect with the positive edge or raised edge types of installs.... Take care :)
Thanks for watching I’m glad I could help. Let me know if you have any specific questions and of course make sure you’re subscribed so you never miss an episode.
Hi deliber8, how did the fireclay sink work out for you? I want one, but am worried about staining, like from a cast iron frying pan sitting in the sink bottom for a little while....
@@davidwitten3141 Hi..... Hope all is well with you.... I have not as yet purchased a sink like that one.... I'd love to, though... I have only ever owned enameled cast iron cookware.so I'm not the best to advise about what could happen if a cast iron pan is left in the sink for more than a little while... You could perhaps put a an old towel you don't care about in the bottom of the sink and put your pan on that...
@@RemodelMedia Hi ! Thanks for the reply.... I didn't realize that I hadn't subscribed !!! I'll be hittin' that bell too ! Just about to watch your Avoid Bathroom Remodel FOMO :)
Good job 👍
thank you boss...
v good, I didn't know 2 much re: the ceramic sinks, but thought it must be gd as ceramic dishes are! I hope to get a granite/quartz one! if that's from naural materials, how can it be man made? do u not have drainers on the right side like we do here in the UK? tks, Mona
Mona L - Granite composite sinks are made by taking granite (or sometimes quartz) and grinding it down, mixing it with a resin material and pouring it into a mold.
I’m not sure what you mean by drainers on the right. Can you tag my in a picture on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram @remodelmedia and show me what you mean?
