Question for silgranite sink owners: - I wanted to avoid having to have a sponge holder on my countertop, so bought a suction cup type sponge holder to place inside the sink, out of sight, but the suction cups don't stick to silgranit! Anybody out there have ideas? Where are you keeping your sponge so it's out of sight but not just sitting in the bottom of the sink getting gross?

I am really glad to read these posts. Now I know WHY my suction cup holder from BBB did not stay in place. Kept falling to the bottom and drove me crazy thinking I wasn't positioning it correctly. And the Blanco holders need one set of magnets on the "back underside" of sink - how to put on when sink already installed, and some people say the magnets aren't strong enough to keep the holder from falling to bottom of sink. I do have an over the faucet holder, but don't really like it, but it's all there is to get stuff off the bottom of the sink. Blanco needs to come up with something workable.

I’m considering a Silgranit sink, and your question got my attention! In the past I’ve seen that they make tip out kits to retrofit the cabinet face to hold all your little scrubbies. Maybe that’s an option... What did you end up doing?

What does it mean "Required outside cabinet: 54" ? - The spec overall size is 48". My existing sink is 48". I would love to put in this sink with my new countertops. However, I'm confused on the "Required outside cabinet" size.

Thank you! Is there an online sheet or do you recommend just calling blanco?

Yes it is a drain board. You can cut on it and it comes with a walnut cutting board.

Wouldn't using this as a cutting board create scratches on this granite material?

How can you cut on granite? Won't that ruin your knives? Wouldn't the material have to have a bit of give - a Corian type, or something - to work as a cutting board?

Will it work with 2mm granite - We are over budget on the new house. To save money I want to go with the thinner granite with a thicker bullnose. I already have the sink. Love It! So Huge will be the centrepiece of the Kitchen. Regular size sinks undermount work just fine with the thinner granite. What about this big extra heavy sink?

This picture was taken from the manufacture directly. I am not sure because it is not one of our clients but it looks like carrara marble. Thanks!

The Metallic Grey by Blanco is a lighter gray color - the photo here appears to be darker - and that would be the Blanco Cinder finish.

Yes it will not rust. It is made of crushed granite. There is no metal in the sink so therefore it won't rust. Very, very durable.

Nice finishing - I like this. But i wonder how they install it. Do the sink cabinet need extra support? Any idea?

Hi This is a composite sink so there is no need for extra support. You install it like a regular undermount sink and cut the whole for the granite including the drain board. If you have any other questions please email me at carrieb@westheimerplumbing.com
Thanks,
Carrie

Love this sink but not sure it will fit in my island. - I am also looking for a single bowl black granite sink to replace my current SS double sink. I currently have a Blanco two bowl sink that has one bowl larger than the other and the top has a curve in it. Do you have a granite single bowl sink that would fit in the existing space w/o having to have the granite cut? Thank you for any information you can provide.

Silly issue with this sink... Can anyone solve my problem? - I have the Blanco Silgranit sink and love it! BUT, I would really like to use a suction cup sponge holder attached to the inside of sink, but the material of this sink will not allow for the suction cup to hold like a stainless steel or porcelain sink. Any ideas to solve my problem. I don't want to go back to my old ways of having my sponge in a container on my counter top...I don't want to clutter up my beautiful new Cambriastone Counter tops. :-)

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Rachel Grace added this to Kitchen Sinks: Granite Composite Offers Superior Durability
The basics: Granite composite sinks are about 80 percent granite and 20 percent acrylic resin. The combination of granite and acrylic makes for an extremely durable material and surface, beating out quartz composite for strength and scratch resistance. Commonly found in dark hues, granite composite can be custom made in an array of matte colors.Cost: From $250 to $550. These sinks are so reasonably priced mainly because they're a blend of materials and not solid granite.
Amanda Pollard added this to Which Type of Kitchen Sink Should You Choose?
CompositeSome modern sinks are made from a composite of granite and acrylic resin, and formed under a high compression to make them extremely durable and scratch-resistant. Pros: Composite sinks are nonporous, heat-resistant and hygienic. They’re available in a number of styles and finishes, and bring a uniform look to a contemporary kitchen.Cons: The hard surface of composite sinks is great for durability, but not so useful if you drop glassware on it. Also, if you’re looking for a natural material that forms a patina over time, a composite sink might not be the right choice for you.
