Can this sink be placed on granite counter top ...is pattern too much with granite patterns

We placed it on a mostly black granite. The granite has some browns and whites scattered throughout, but the sink really pops! The brown of the sink pulls out the brown in the granite, and it looks very nice.

I think it probably could be as long as the granite is a light color. There are a lot of copper coloring in the sink

Yes, it looks great on a granite counter top. The sink interior pattern is subtle, the exterior is a uniform dark copper color. It may look best with warm colors of granite, but pattern is not a problem.

I have it on a beautiful piece of granite. I took the bowl with me when I picked it out. It's gorgeous.

I have 2 of these sinks and like everyone else stated, the sink does have a lot of copper coloring. Definitely get the sinks and then choose your counter top. Love the sinks!

With ours, if you needed more than about 2 inches spaces from the inside of the cabinet you would have trouble. We have standard depth cabinets, but only have a 33 inch width, and that is tight from side to side. Depends on how your installer exactly positions it in your top. We have granite. We love our sink, it is the white version and it is our 2nd one. When we moved we put this in as we liked it so much.

I did not add granite countertop for two reasons:1) it looks so beautiful itself, no need for granite 2) there is a table extension on the back of this picture, it would be hard to add granite to it, I recently changed my countertop to granite without touching this piece. It matches my oak hardwood cabinet perfectly

If the sink is built into the vanity, I wouldn't chance it. The granite paint is an outstanding product for counter tops, though. Everything they promise is true; however, I wouldn't do the inside of a sink. Check out some YouTube videos. That's how I found out about Giani.

It can be either. I have my undermounted with the granite coming even to the edge of the actual sink. You can have it backed off to the edge of the flange and mount your faucet to the sink itself but still have the countertop over some of the deck flange too. -it is an awesome sink!

No, mine is on a simply patterned tile surface and it looks great. I think it would look fine on granite. It has patterned areas in a darker background.

My bathroom counter is a nice slab of granite, a hole is carefully measured and cut out for the drain. The sink sits on a thick rubber washer (comes with package). My counter was custom made for my wheel chair to slide up close. It's a special sink and the faucet is even more special. I'm glad I bought it.

I used it on a cream granite and left a small residue. The residue is now gone so I don't think you should worry about it but just in case test it on an area where most people can't see. My installer left behind the pieces where the apron sink was to be installed so I test it there first to make sure no issues. If you have any un used pieces test it there first if not, just go where you got the stone and they typically have broken pieces they don't mind giving away. Hope all goes great!

Yes. I had mine removed by the vendor but had to pay extra to have that done. I put in my own sink and natural stone top. I think the seller thought I was nuts but we are very satisfied with the way it turned out in the end.

I use it in a modern setting and it looks good there. My only word of caution is to make sure that the countertop hole (where the faucet goes through) is sufficiently close enough to the sink. It is a short design and the water will fall too close to the edge if you violate this. Good luck.

I do still love this sink, its beautiful. BUT I will say that I do have some chips/scratches on both front corners. They're small and hard to see but they're there which is frustrating. Could've been the way the sink was installed or how the countertop was laid over it. We have quartz counters so they're quite heavy. It also seems to stain pretty easily - if I have a pot or pan in the sink for a day or two I find I'm scrubbing extra hard to remove any ring it left. In hindsight - as much as I love the sink and this type of sinks - I'd probably not go with an apron front sink, and stick with an undermount stainless steel or granite sink! Good luck. I am sure you'll be happy with either choice! I do still love this sink, its beautiful. BUT I will say that I do have some chips/scratches on both front corners.

When people look at mine they can't obviously tell. However I tell them. If your counters were like mine when i bought the house ( laminate with gauges all screeched up) we replace it with instant granite. I thought this would be a temperary addition till I could afford real granite. Now I see this would be a big expensive error. Wonder if a buyer doesn't like the style or color of real granite? They still have to pay for it cause you had to add to house cost. It's even easer to change a pattern and color if wanted a quick temporary or permeant fix. one couple we experienced, was a couple that had real granite and the one of them said they hated the granite they put in and would have been better off, to put this on and change the style/color and how stupid they felt that it cost thousands instead of 100's of dollars and could change it many times and still not reach the cost of the what they put in.Good Luck with decision.

No, the sink is completely covered by granite except the bowls. You would need a "drop in" style if you want to install a tap on the sink itself.

there are engravings of the model on the bottom. i cannot say it is not a smooth bottom however i personally do not put it on my countertop which is granite as i am afraid it might scratch the surface.

I purchased this sink for a mountain cabin, very far from any tropical region. So I can't really offer any advice. Although, stainless steel material should do what it is designed to do - not to rust or tarnish - as long as it is properly maintained. Good luck.

As you can see, the shape is not usual. We had our counter top cut specially to fit this sink. You could measure your existing one and compare with the dimensions of this one.

slight inward curve at the bottom of the sink does not create a quality issue. I'm sure this is done for aesthetics. a clear sealer between the countertop and sink can be used if you choose
