@@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. ruclips.net/user/shortsvfGKUUDmUCM?feature=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.
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.
@@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.
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
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 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
THX so much for the tip. I am on the fence right now as to what type of kitchen sink to replace my current one with, and already know that SS looks terrible after just a couple months of use. But also found out that granite/composite sinks can also be a lot of maintenance to keep looking nice. Looking into more of the fireclay at this point...
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.

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?
@@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.
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! ☺️
I see reviews of stainless steel rusting and pitting within a week. From well known names. Also, there are apron sinks with just the front apron. Also you need to decide right drain, left drain, center drain. I suggest , decide on sink and space before ordering cabinet.
I bought composite granite sink for my kitchen remodel about 8 years ago. It was brown in color. After some time I started to notice a whiteish haze on the sink. Now we do live in a house which uses a water softener. But the discoloration of that sink does not make the statement that I wanted. I have not found anything to clean it long term. You can rub oil on it and it does mask the problem for a short period of time. I’ve had stainless before I didn’t like the drum sound even with a high quality insulated model. So at this point if I had it to do again I guess I would go with something that can be cleaned like porcelain, but colored.
Thank you, that was helpful. I was trying to decide between single and double sink and the frying pan demo was illuminating. Would love to see a video on faucets for these different sinks if you ever get the chance...
I'm glad that helped you. Check out my channel, I have lots more videos including a few kitchen faucet videos. I suggest starting here. ruclips.net/video/CtLSUubvT9M/видео.html
Nice information, this I should have known two years ago, I had a black 'composite' sink I thought looked like 1.000$ then I remodeled my kitchen and bought the cheapest sink I found, in stainless steel, and kind of regret a little, because, just like he say, I must clean it all the time, what would be interesting is the possibilities to replace the sink and/or paint it or something, do not think that is possible but....
Unfortunately right now I am not aware of a way to paint stainless and keep the finish consistent. Perhaps heat tempering? But that’s not something you would do at home.
@@RemodelMedia - actually, funny enough, I have a tip to you, some half a year ago I was in a shop selling paint etc and was talking to one of the employees, complaining about my stainless steel sink, and she suggested something meant for cars I think, at least, she walked me to the car department, found a tube with "autosol" metal polish, which was hell to work with, but the result is very good, still nice after months, next time I polish I will use a machine I think, now the sink look much better and very easy to clean
Thank you very much I’m glad that helped you. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode. And let me know if you have any specific questions that you’d like me to follow up on.
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.
Good video! Thanks.... One of my concerns is the reveal. Sinks with rounded edges are going to have a big, angled space that collects scum, especially if you don't have a positive reveal. It seems like a S.S. sink with an extremely flat surface would provide the most attractive and functional seal regardless of if you had a positive or neutral reveal. I want the smooth attractive reveal, but I don't want a S.S. sink. I'm probably going to roll the dice and go with a Fireclay undermount.
That was fantastic thanks. I’m not sure anyone makes the kind of sink I want. Small bowl not stainless steel, not liable to cracking, not under hanging. I would like one that overlaps the kitchen counter so no mucky bits accumulate, with an integral splash back. I’m in France if anyone knows if this even exists. The current sink is tiny and I’d like a tiny one to replace it. Thanks anyway for a great video so informative.
If you’re flexible on discussing stainless steel, there is a company called Julien in Canada 🇨🇦 that will make pretty much anything you can draw. They’re not super cheap but it might be work a look. www.julien.ca
I have stainless steel…it’s VERY low maintenance, never had a problem & always looks good. ( I clean as I go). Here to look at porcelain farmhouse styles… unsure . Fire 🔥 clay?
Very helpful. A general discussion about price comparison, not even amounts, would have been very, very helpful❗ We all know there are tradeoffs, but I don't know how much the cost difference is of one over the other. Is it a 10% difference? 30%? 50%? That info can be equally as important to a budget! Also, which of the options add the most cost? Is it the mount style? Or the sink style? Or the hardware? Where are you going to spend crazy amounts of money if you aren't care?
Thanks for watching. Let me know if there are any questions I can answer for you. I'm happy to help. I addressed your comment in my recent live stream. You can watch it here at the 43 minute mark ruclips.net/video/70LQk-EYtJg/видео.html
Why the most elegant and relatively the most demanding way of building in the sink is not mentioned - it is the building the sink in level with working surface - the composite sinks and stainless sinks could be build in the kitchen in that way and if made properly it give amazing effect.
Honestly I’ve never met a rep from TopZero and I don’t know where I can take video of it. I’ve heard of it but I can’t make a video recommending a product I’ve never seen.
I gave this one a like because he presents the pros and cons without being opinionated.
