Remodeled my kitchen in June 2019 , with a BLANCO composite double sink creamy white, it was nice looking for a few months. So hard to keep up with this sink . I will definitely go back with Stainless steel . 🙂

Thanks for the helpful tips, barkeepers friend works really well for maintenance. My white granite composite sink has a hairline crack is there a good way to clean that crack before I try to repair it?

My dark gray blanco sink has some water rings I believe from two cups sitting in the sink for a few days and I cannot get the rings out. I’ve used bar keepers friend with a scrub daddy sponge and some baking soda with vinegar and let it sit about 15 minutes. Any advice on what else to try?

Hello, New subscriber here. I’m trying to find a single bowl drop in sink is 33 by 22. 9 inch deep Im about to purchase one a black one but deciding if I should do black faucet and stainless steel or silicone bottom grid. Which one do you recommend? Is Karran a good brand?

New subscriber here... thank you for your knowledge, it's very helpful! We currently have a double bowl stainless steel sink and are in the middle of remodeling our kitchen. I watched your sink video and it got me leaning towards a double bowl fireclay apron sink with the shorter divider between the bowls. (Loved the long-handled fry pan demo; I hadn't thought of that so it was super helpful!) We have hard water (not rusty, but limey) so I can relate to water spots! We have a cottage style house and I think that apron front fireclay will be beautiful, but my husband is concerned with the "toughness" of them. What's your opinion on how well they hold up to banging pots and such? What are the best brands?

Excellent, thanks! How about the sink strainers/drains? I see in your videos, you've combined typical stainless steel strainers with the composite sinks. But Blanco sells strainers (plastic from what I've learned) that match the composite sink color. Are these worth it, in terms of quality, durability, and cleaning? Thanks!

So what type of sink material is best to get with very hard water? I would like it to look nice but don't want to put too much effort into it everyday. Thanks!

@RemodelMedia 2 жыл бұрын

The lowest effort sink materials are either composite or fireclay. I did a full breakdown here in this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adh4m6WQntPRmIk.html

I boil water and dump it down the drain all the time. In fact I did it in this video right here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8eYl8lqptnHp2g.html

Out of the box my Kraus granite composite sink was lighter than expected and it somewhat resembled plastic. It reminded me a little bit of a plastic janitorial sink for a garage. It also wasn't smooth, it had a texture to it. Is this normal?

@RemodelMedia 2 жыл бұрын

I’m not sure about the color but I know the plastic textured feel is pretty accurate 👍🏻 I always recommend people see the product before they buy it. I know Lowe’s typically displays the Kraus.

We have very hard water in our cottage in Canada. I use vinegar and baking soda to clean many things. I did not know if I could use a composite sink, I hope they don’t scratch up easy. I bathe my small dog in my sink....so my sink get a good cleaning often.....

@RemodelMedia 2 жыл бұрын

Composite is definitely one of the lowest maintenance materials you can get. Just make sure it's a reputable brand (I prefer either Blanco or Franke).

@sangheelee9950 2 жыл бұрын

I saw you dump boiling water but don,t I have to turn cold water tap at the same time while I dump boiling water in the composite sink bowl so that the composite bowl is not crakced ?

@RemodelMedia 2 жыл бұрын

It’s always a good idea to be careful. Just like looking both ways before you cross the street. But you don’t have to be afraid of occasionally throwing some hot water in there.

Thanks so much for your videos! I’m in the middle of a kitchen remodel and I’m hesitating between fire clay and granite composite (Blanco). I recently watched a KZfaq review saying blanco undermount double bowl low divide is the worst you can buy (that’s the one I was eyeing) :( Do you agree? What do you recommend between the 2? Quality, scratch resistance and maintenance are my main concerns. Thank you!!

I'm partial to single bowl sinks myself. I'm doing the Blanco Precis Metallic Gray Super Single in my remodel right now. I did a video on how to pick the right kitchen sink a while ago. Try checking out this sink tutorial here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adh4m6WQntPRmIk.html
