apron sink with sintered stone countertop- good idea?

last year

I’ve read alot about the chipping issues associated with sintered stone. I was wondering that given how narrow the countertop is between the sink to the front edge, is it a good idea to install apron sinks when using sintered stone? ( that is, less chance of chipping in that area)

An apron sink is always a good solution to chipping prevention. Use a through-body sintered like Lapitec and you'll be able to round your edges, further reducing your chipping risks.

Insist of a slight positive sink reveal please. The sink prevents the bottom of the top from being able to be chipped, unlike a negative reveal.

Joseph- Doesnt that reveal create a lip that catches crumbs and water?

No. That is myth.

Much better than having a reveal that hides them.
