Sink choice

11 years ago

I'm replacing my double bowl sink with a single bowl and have narrowed the choice of specific sink down to the Blanco silgranit Cascade and the Blanco silgranit Super Single, but I'm not sure which one to get.

I'm also not 100% sure I even have a choice, because the Blanco website says the Super Single needs a 36" cabinet and mine is 34", but I think that they're saying 36" because they think the alternative is 33" and that's not wide enough. So, does anyone know if there's any reason I couldn't put the Super Single in a 34" wide cabinet? If it will fit, then:

Does anyone have experience with either of these sinks to say which works better? The Super Single is a little bigger - 30" wide compared to about 26.5" for the Cascade and is also deeper - 9" compared to 7.5". Our current sink is about 7.5" deep and both I and my DH are short and actually prefer that to a deeper sink. But the Super Single's extra width seems like a good thing.

How does the little, slightly raised bowl of the Cascade work? Is it a plus or a minus?

Here's the drawing of the Super Single:

And here's the Cascade:

The inside of your 34" cabinet is probably 32 1/4". Easy to measure. If it is 32" or wider, the sink should fit.

Are you putting this in an existing space and if so, have you worked out the plumbing under there? We went with two bowls which kept the two drains (nice to have) and chose a low divide. I love this thing. It's also Blanco silgranit. The grids keep 9" from being too deep, and keep my draining cups up off the sink floor.

It's going in existing space and one of the advantages I see in having a single bowl sink is that I'll get rid of some of the pipes underneath and now will have room to put the garbage can under the sink, which allows me to do away with the trash compactor and gain 3 wide drawers in place of the trash compactor and a very narrow and pretty useless cabinet.

I posted this a while ago and when I didn't appear, I posted about the same thing again. I don't know why it all at once reappeared :-). Anyway, the Blanco Cascade is now sitting in my living room - it seems huge to me and I think will work very well. Won't know for another month or so.
