Sinks & Faucets

We went by Singac Supply today to check out sinks and faucets. We didn't see a huge selection, but we did find a few nice options. The only faucet we really liked is the Grohe Minta, which has an integrated sprayer pull out. We aren't completely sold on this concept yet, but other than the Dornbracht two pictures down (which is out of our budget) we haven't seen any non-integrated faucet/sprayer sets we've liked.

We got a quote of $525 for this faucet, Grohe Minta, but we see it listed online for $324.




At about $1500, this Dornbracht is out of our budget, but it's a good reference point.






Sinks -

We like sharp lines on sinks, but that seems to come with a pretty significant cost.

Singac showed us a few nice Elkay sinks, but those w/ the sharper lines and 16 gauge SS are about twice as much as the18 gauge sink which has more rounded inside corners.
The first two sinks below are listed at about $1700 each (online for around $900), and the third is listed for $925 (about $525 online).

This is the Elkay - EFU311810, 16 gauge, w/ soundgaurd, list price $1722 (online as low as $875)


This is the Elkay EFU312010R, similiar to the EFU311810 above but w/ different sink sizes, list price is $1763 (online $934)

This is the ELUH3120, 18 gauge, although it's less expensive online at $525 (quoted $715 Singac).

We've read some positive reviews and saw a few nice Ticor sinks on the Galaxy Tool Supply website (www.galaxytoolsupply.com) , but it's difficult to say w/o seeing the details in person.
