    Any advice on sinks?

    I was intending to replace the worktops only but I'm not sure about the sink. Currently have stainless steel 1.5 bowl with drainer by Franke, was quite happy with it until I saw pictures of under worktop sinks.

    The granite man said it was easier to overmount the sinks.

    Undermounts hang on clips of some sort and the seals can fail because a sink can hold a lot of weight in water. Just repeating what I was told. I was more concerned that it costs extra to polish the granite on the edges :rotfl:

    It looks fine in our kitchen - we've used a single bowl sink with another single bowl sink that's only about an inch deep as a drainer. So two seperate cuts and a swivelly tap.

    Shame to lose a nice Franke sink but they do look better seperate than installing a regular sink. :o
