I'm assuming you're getting new tops?

Check out the video for Prolific. I was considering that but ended up choosing the 45 in Stages.

What kind of countertops do you have or are getting? If you're getting new, consider Corian and a Corian integrated sink. I adore mine!!!

You're asking about both sink and faucet, correct? We need a bit more information regarding your situation and preferences.

Sink...

• What countertop material are you getting?
  -- Stone (granite, soapstone, marble, engineered stone/quartz, etc.)?
  -- Laminate?
  -- Butcher Block?
  -- Solid Surface (e.g., Corian)?
  -- Other?

• How do you intend to install it?
  -- Top mount (sits on top of the counter)?
  -- Under mount (sits on the cabinets and the counter is installed over it)?
  -- Flush mount (sink is installed flush with the counter top)?
  -- Integrated (all one piece with the counter)?

• What sink material?
  -- Stainless Steel?
  -- Granite composite?
  -- Fireclay?
  -- Cast Iron?
  -- Other?

Faucet...

• What type of faucet?
  -- Pull down (high arc)?
  -- Pull out?
  -- One-handle (fewer holes)?
  -- Separate faucet & handles?

• Material and finish?
  -- Polished or Brushed finish?
  -- Chrome?
  -- Stainless Steel?
  -- Other?

We are getting a new countertop, granite.

Sink...

• stainless
• single bowl, about 32" (that's as large as I can fit)
• about 9/10" deep
• undermount

The counter area the sink will live is pretty much in the middle of a 9' 2" long, about 40" deep spot and then the leg starts to head toward the stove, like an "L", but that is only about 14", then the stove, then an 18" counter spot and the end.

Faucet...

• Type we are getting- a touchless type

--high arc

--pull down

--one handle

--no plate

Material/Finish...

My other half originally wanted, badly, ORB. But it seemed like it would not match well with the stainless sink. Not 100% on the finish yet. We could use some input here as well.

I have always been a non chrome person. But...Our cabinets are a very dark, rich black/brown, one with glass doors, stainless range hood above the stove, appliances are black. There is a 7' wall of off white cabinets across from the dark ones and we are undicided if we should do the same color pulls on it or do brushed nickle, stainless or polished pewterish type.

Our island pendants are dark cylinders like the dark cabinets. Our DR light is an open swirly thing with chrome. Our kitchen light is also funky and stainless (there is very little metal showing with theses.

So, I am pretty sure we are going with oil rubbed bronze pulls on the dark cabinets (reduces eye clutter and I just love how they disappear). But putting ORB pulls on the off white cabs, for me gives it a countryish look, which is I like that look, but not sure if it will look fantastic with everything.

Hopefully the pics help. We are standing in the LV looking into the kit. The pics have the DR light and the kit lights I was talking about.

Joseph Corlett, LLC & Anglophilia - we are getting new granite counter tops. I had Corian and their seamless sink in my married house, love, loved it. I agree with you Corian is great.

For some reason I have been really drawn to granite and a stainless sink.

smm5525 - I have looked at both of those sinks and their videos. I would like to combine both sinks and that'd be pretty perfect. We seem to have ruled out Stages due to our lack of countertop surface and it's size.

I have the Fanke Oceania. Not sure where the "not sturdy" assessment of the racks came from. I have the large grid that fits over the bottom of the sink as well as a half-rack that fits on the integrated ledge. They are both made very well and extremely sturdy with no "give" whatsoever. My sink is a couple of years old and only has a few minor scratches. I don't think the Franke scratches more easily than any other SS sink. The shelf grid is an awesome feature and worth considering the Franke just for that alone, IMO.

16g is better than 18g (but 18g is very good). I used MR Direct for my last sink and will be using them again for the new remodel we are currently doing. Great quality, great price. They also have sink grids and cutting boards to fit their sinks.
