Table top

[Inna]

Inna, think, of course. Especially if the kitchen is corner, such a sink is very convenient. I do a lot of things in the second bowl, now I don't remember right away (three weeks on vacation, away from home, I relaxed). For example, I soak potatoes-carrots-beets before cleaning, so that the dirt is easier to wash off. I put the colander with berries from the compote to drain (do not throw out the hot ones). They come in different shapes and sizes, you can choose to fit your needs.

[Inna]

Inna, I have the 2nd, both bowls are 33x39 cm, I rarely use the second one, but sometimes it helps a lot.

By the way, for me, stone is better than stainless steel (I had a stainless steel before). Every drop is visible on a stainless steel, not on a stone. They scared me before buying, and what darkens with time, and what can crack from hot. TTT, since 2009 stands, and like new. True, I pour boiling water with open cold water. The only negative is that you cannot put a waste grinder. Well, at least that's what they told me when I bought it.
And on the countertop, mine is from Corrian, and I ordered it separately from the kitchen, because in the salon the price for the countertop was calculated the same as for the entire set. I found a company that deals only with stone (countertops, window sills, etc.), in the end it cost me half the price. Collected on site, length - 5.6, angular, + meter of the bar. The "welded" seam is still not visible! No dyes take in, everything is perfectly washed.

so stone is better than stainless steel

We are in some kind of topic with Scarecrow seems to have discussed the sink. If I had chosen, I would not have taken a stainless steel! How I suffer with her
In general, I loved my black porcelain stoneware Blanco in the apartment! There was good water in the apartment, no drops remained, no stains were visible. There was no noise from the water, the boiling water was poured out without cold water - it was lovely, not a sink.

marina-asti, so you need to make a very small piece of the countertop. What about the rest of the quartz agglomerate countertop? If you make this piece from a different material, won't it be different?

We in some topic with Chuchelka seem to have discussed sinks. If I had chosen, I would not have taken a stainless steel! How I suffer with her

Why are you suffering? I have a stainless steel sink and it's okay. By the way, I have a single, but as big as two and deep. For her, there is also a plastic insert and then it turns out like a double one. In this plastic insert, I defrost and wash something, and when I don't need it, I put it in the closet and I get a large single sink. So very convenient! I also put specials on the sink. cutting board and cut on it, very convenient. There is also a colander and a sieve is also installed directly on the sink.

Kara, tell the company what the countertop did you, please.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, the new tabletop will be different in any situation. My worktop was brought to Russia together with the kitchen in 2007.
I found a photo of the kitchen from left to right in the gallery, I will remove it under the spoiler, I seem to have shown it in many topics) I still need to collect my thoughts and finish it.

The span there is quite large 2.7-2.8 meters: the husband put 2 tables of 90 each, there are decent distances between them, on the right between the cabinet and the column there is a wine cabinet and another one will fit next to it)

We thought this way and that and nothing better than just a pure white matte tabletop did not come up with.

Why are you suffering?

I found a sink too. Franke she walked along with the table top.


Just in the photo you can see the difference between the 2 parts. We write off the water in the house. I very rarely use the left one, and to be honest I rarely cook at all.The right one is more often used for storing dishes, if the husband did not have time to disassemble the PMM (I have such a joint, for some reason I don’t like to disassemble it, I’m probably lazy, to be honest - this has become almost a holy duty of my husband)

If you scrub it daily, it will look normal, but we don't have time for that.

That black in the apartment always looked good!

Mom dear. Girls, I trudge from your kitchens And I have 4.7 sq. M. A stainless steel sink is already infuriating, I need to change the table top, I want gas. shove the stove to the dacha, and buy gas. panel for 2 knobs (for my husband, I don't need it at all)

So
It turned out with half a sin.

A black sink is not suitable for every design. For me, stainless steel is normal, I just haven't seen another good alternative, it is not afraid of hot things, but it scratches and turns yellow sometimes, but it is washed off.

Kroshik, if the footage allows, take a double with a large sink. I have a double stone one, a large one - 35 cm, a small one - 18 cm (these are not the sizes of sinks, but useful "sink" centimeters). I calmly wash my 15-liter saucepan in a large one (only a swivel tap is needed), and in a small one there is a colander, conveniently washed vegetables / fruits / greens there - drain, defrost the meat again. In general, take a double!

You can argue a lot here. I have a single sink, but something like 50 cm. This is the size. And before it was 35. I wanted a big one, but really big + the second small one took up a lot of space. There was a choice: one single large or 2 small ones. If you need to defrost something and so on, you hang a stainless steel colander into the sink, if you don't need it, you put it away. You have a huge single sink again.
No, girls, marble and granite I don't understand yet. What for me the surface, which in his world is afraid of the big world (I'm talking about marble), to run with a rag to wipe the droplets, and so on. ? It's a kitchen! I don't get out of it. Or what for me eternal granite, which also weighs like a cast-iron bridge. I killed kitchen furniture in 10 years and changed everything. And she took the tabletop to match the new furniture and the configuration for new ideas, and not vice versa. And in general I love new things. And changing what costs terrible money is just as creepy))). Now buying something has lost its practical meaning for centuries. In 10 years, such materials may already be launched that you will tear your hair out: why so much money was given for what now you really want to get out of your sight, but it's a pity! And the technique for centuries has not been made or bought. I do not know. I need it to be practical and reliable enough without fanaticism and crazy spending. The table top made of artificial stone is glued as you want, it is restored in case of cracks, it does not swell up and even is altered if something has taken hold of it late. It is more practical.

And with 3 children, marble on the countertop is .... Eeee. Well, a heart attack is guaranteed))).

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, I have 3 children and a marble countertop. I'm in the kitchen, not the kids. Children eat in the hall, our hall is combined with the kitchen. And if they eat in the kitchen, then there are plastic napkins for this.

[ludmila_27.79]

ludmila_27.79,

It's not just about eating. In our family, it is not forbidden for anyone to appear in the kitchen, although the dining room is separate))). And in general, this is logical. All family members periodically want to have a snack, cook for themselves and so on. And they do it on their own. Children get something out of the refrigerator for themselves, put it on, heat it up, make tea, cook simple things. My children are 18,12 and 4. Even the smallest takes out mugs / plates for herself and pours a drink, for example. The youngest son has a craving for culinary experiments. Moreover, I am at work, and the sons from school / from the institute arrived. They do not relate to things as I do, they have something else in their head, the degree of accuracy is different, etc. Therefore, what they do there / do not wipe it off / drop it, put it on, and so on - no one knows. Also, because of this, I will be upset ... Nooooo, I do not agree!)))

I'm not convincing anyone, really. I write my perception.But everyone has different "initial" data, different lifestyles, motives and wealth, too. There can be no consensus here. You can only read what others think, figure out for yourself and make your own, something like that ...

Well, yes, my children are still small, they don't cook themselves, the oldest is 6 years old. Grow up, I will teach accuracy. It happened to me myself that after the late departure of the guests, I went to bed and did not clean up the tables. And dirty dishes and crumbs remained on the tables. And nothing, everything is fine with marble. It is also covered with specials. coating, at least helps from fat, but not from water. If the marble becomes completely ugly, then call a specialist and he polishes it with a polishing machine and recovers it with a protective coating and all the marble is as good as new. I wrote above that I myself did not want a marble countertop, but my husband insisted, said that it looks beautiful and rich. So we chose beauty over practicality. And I write all this, because here the topic is about countertops and suddenly someone also thinks to put marble or not. And he reads the reviews and decides for himself or not.

degree of accuracy

queen of diagnoses!

They do not treat things the way I do, they have a different mind, the degree of accuracy is different, etc.

but about the degree of accuracy of husbands, I generally keep quiet!

queen of diagnoses!

My Vova is interested in making ice cream at the moment. This is the diagnosis! This is a practical tryndets, not a diagnosis!

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Nat, that's so great!
You wake up, and he gives you coffee in bed ... with ice cream

[Natusya]

Natusya,

He eats it himself, almost before freezing. Sooooo gluttonous boy)))

ugliness! On your knees in the corner!

Vovka is a miracle!

The only negative is that you cannot put a waste grinder. Well, at least that's what they told me when I bought it.

Why is it impossible? I have a sink from a lawsuit. stone and already five years as a grinder. The sink is like new, what it will be is. Maybe they are different, of course, but it never even crossed my mind that it was impossible.

Oh, Ol, but I don’t know why I was punished like “no-no” (like a stone can crack from vibrations), so I am obedient and do not put

Here's what I googled: "As far as I came across this device, there was only one limitation - not to install it on an integrated sink made of artificial stone, if the thickness of the stone on the countertop is less than 12-13mm. Apparently the vibration tears the glue seam over time with all the consequences."
We have a mortise sink, apparently that's why they didn't say a word to us either in the kitchen salon or when buying a sink + chopper)))
