Stainless Steel Top Mount (Self Rimming) Sinks

Need a replacement for a sink that has been discontinued? Looking for a 48" X 22" self rimming sink that is a single or double bowl? Want an upgrade from a triple bowl or double bowl sink? We do this every day. Give me a call. I would love to tell you how simple this is to accomplish.

Most often, these sinks are purchased to replace existing sinks. All are custom made for your particular situation. Frequently, we are asked to replace double or triple bowl sinks like the one below. Most of our customers like our "architectural edge profile" as shown below. We can also give you a flat edge. A 48" long sink replacement, in brushed stainless 16 gauge stainless steel would be about $2700. A typical 33"X22" replacement would be an investment of only $2200 or so. Remember, these are hand made sinks, not mass produced sinks. All of our stainless sinks are "zero radius" sinks. The only radius is a slight one from the bottom of the bowl to the sides. A question often heard is "does this make the sink difficult to clean?" The answer is no. We have sold thousands of sinks with zero radius corners and everyone loves them. Most of the "high end luxury" sinks are made with a zero radius. This feature gives you much more useable room inside the sink, plus a more custom look when installed. The sink to the left was replaced by the sink shown below. hammered stainless steel top mount self rimming kitchen sink with the Smarter Sink ledge for cutting boards

This sink features our "Smarter Sink" optional ledge for cutting boards, grid drainers and colanders.

 

 

Rich went from the most difficult sink in the industry to use, to the easiest. Way to go Rich!

Our customer, Rich, was kind enough to send an installed photo today (7-7-11) His photo is more realistic in terms of what the hammering looks like. Mine (above) makes it look more hammered than it really is -due to the flash. Rich's kind note:

We absolutely love the sink.  It is everything you promised and more.  It is such a great cook's sink.  The hammered look was worth every cent and can't wait to get the shelf done to use the Smart Sink feature.

Rich also invested in the Waterstone Towson 4100-18 with a side spray, air gap, and a hot/filtered water faucet.

I am so jealous! I would love to cook a meal and clean up in this ultimate set up!

 Please note: Our customer requested a rear center drain. We highly recommend a rear corner drain. Also note, most of the photos on this page show our optional Smarter Ledges. They're just that popular!

 


This is our new Rustic hand rubbed matte stainless. You can click on the image for a closer look. The sample next to the sink is standard brushed stainless. If you are looking for a more rustic look in stainless, this is it!

By the way, our "Smarter Sink" option is available for any of our sinks!

hammered stainless steel top mount self rimming kitchen sink with the Smarter Sink ledge for cutting boardsThis is the ultimate self rimming stainless steel sink. The interior is hammered, it has our "Smarter Sink" optional ledges in the front and back so you can slide cutting boards and other accessories back and forth inside the sink. It replaced a triple bowl sink.

We have often been asked about whether we use sound deadening on the bottom of our sinks. Years ago, we tried several products, including the pads that many other sink manufacturers use. Due to the thickness of our stainless, these products did virtually nothing. In order to dampen sound, the product must alter how much the metal flexes or provide a sound barrier between you and the sink. Rubber pads do the trick with 18 gauge sinks or 16 gauge sinks that have been pressed into shape, as the pressing stretches the stainless to a much thinner gauge than the original. The thinner metal can be affected by rubber pads. Since our sinks are so heavy and rigid, merely installing them cuts down the sound generated by dropping an item in the sink. The larger sinks, those 36" and longer, have been a challenge for me to find something to deaden the sound more.

Recently, while doing my daily research, I found a product that works on our beefy stainless sinks.  You see, a rubber product is just not good enough. Our new vibration damping sheets are constructed of an advanced, non-curing, butylene rubber bonded to a thin layer of black aluminum. Unlike other types of vibration damping material, ours has been engineered to utilize sheer force to control vibration. The thin layer of aluminum incorporated into the sound damping product will prevent the stainless from vibrating far better than any other product I have found.

Starting May 1, 2011, all stainless sinks 30" or larger, will have a damping sheet attached to the bottom of the sink.
 

old triple bowl under mount sinkreplacement for triple bowl sinkWe replace sinks all the time. If you have an undermount triple or double bowl sink, we can easily replace it with a self rimming top mount sink. This one happens to be a Millennia (textured stainless) sink with our Smarter sink option. These are getting very popular. All that had to be done was for the homeowner to have the corners of the granite squared up.

Wow is an understatement - since Saturday is my birthday this is the greatest birthday present I can imagine - now I am getting even more excited and anxious to get it installed - Wow again - I will take some before and after photos and send to you - thank you so very much - this is a dream come true.

Hi Dino

The sink and faucet are finally installed and boy what a difference. My husband doesn't like the texture but I love it. I have attached a couple pictures of the installed sink as well as one of the old sink. Both the plumber and the granite guy said they liked it a lot especially the texture of it. The plumber said he wished he could afford one like it (hard to believe a plumber couldn't afford one with what they charge). It arrived near my birthday and we got it installed just before our wedding anniversary so it has been a very gifting year. Thank you so much for making my birthday and anniversary this year the greatest. Tell Jim thank you for me also - my sink is the best and I am super happy with it.

Follow up email a month later...

My husband has now decided the sink is absolutely terrific, so we are both super happy with it.

I asked Diann how much everything cost and what was the time frame. Here is her email reply:

The time frame to replace the sink was approximately 6 hours (1 hr for the plumber to disconnect, 3 hours for the granite guy to remove the sink and change the granite opening to fit the new sink-put the hole for the faucet and 2 hours for the plumber to reconnect the sink and faucet including installation of the garbage disposal) however it had to be done over a 3 day period because of scheduling (had I known the time involved it might have been done in one day). The plumber charged $335 plus the cost of the new garbage disposal (which I am very happy I did as it appears the old one really had some problems in comparison to this new one) and the granite guy charged $90/hr for a total of $270. Even the granite guy asked about your website for some of his customers. I figure that including the cost of the new disposal I saved between $2000 and $4000 by having you make the sink and getting the great faucet from you over getting a "Chinese" sink & faucet and replacing the granite as would have been required. My husband is beginning to see the advantage of the texture so it is growing on him (he does not like change although he loves the size and quality of the sink and faucet). I am so glad I found your website and spoke with you about the sink - glad you talked me out of a multiple bowl - glad I purchased the terrific faucet from you - my kitchen is so much prettier and I love the sink and faucet more than even I imagined I would. Thank you and your staff for a great purchase. I have several friends who will be green with envy, so of course I will pass on to them your website.

Diann
