I’m getting granite countertops and like the undermount sink, but wonder if the undermount sink is replaceable should it be damaged or we want it changed for any reason. The sink will be in large island and replacing all the granite should the sink required replacement would be cost prohbitive. Designer is suggesing black sink but I’ve seen one in a friend’s kitchen and there are places where it looks as though a pan or some other heavy item my have taken a bit of the black finish off and it looks sort of silvery. Not good. Any suggstions?

What is the best way to clean the caulking between my staninless steel undermount sink and granite? It is mildewed. After I clean it and remove the excess caulking what kind of caulking should I use? Thank you.,

I have recently remodel my kitchen and purchased an undermount stainless steel sink for my Cambria quartz counter top. Looks great.

I was dismayed today (Sat) to notice that the sink has separated from the counter top.

Way causes that? What is the fix?

The installer cannot be reached on the weekend and I am upset over this problem with my high end kitchen remodel.

We are thinking of putting in an undermount sink in our new granite countertop. I really like the look of the undermount stainless steel sink. How much trouble is it to replace later and is it better to use a standard size sink?I like the look of the 1 and 3/4 sink. I’m worried about finding the right size if it needs to be replaced. what are the pro and cons of an undermount sink (caulking, keeping it clean, leaks etc..)

Thanks for your advice, Debbie

We found an outlet for imported Chinese granite that seems very inexpensive. Is this an inferior grade of granite, is it more porous than other types of granite?
