Anybody like their WHITE Silagranit sink?

5 years ago

I feel like most people that have this sink have it in a darker color. Anybody out there have it in white? Tell me how you like it.

Also, anyone have a white Bocchi Sotto fireclay sink?

While I love Silgranit - in the dark colors - the Silgranit white and biscuit colors behave differently. The darker colors like anthracite and cafe brown are very easy care, and very easy to clean. For whatever reason, the white and biscuit colors stain easily, require scrubbing, and are higher maintenance. See if the Silgranit darker colors fit into your decor. I find the anthracite very striking, especially against a gleaming faucet and lighter counter. People with Silgranit anthracite sinks love them as has been reported frequently on this forum.

Sorry..............hideous. Looks just like a laundry sink. What's wrong with stainless? If you must have white, get Fireclay

I agree stainless is still IMO the best material for a kitchen sink and I sure would never go white in any case.

mrshste ... and I thought I was alone in disliking en suites for the same reason! I said this to a real estate agent yesterday and he looked totally confused ... like I was a martian from another planet ... it did make me laugh. I also agree with you re modern bland supposed minimalism ... although I love the original concept of minimalism which was anything but bland or even very white.

YOU HAVE THE MAKINGS OF A DREAM HOME AND GOOD TASTE. YOUR STYLE AND COLOUR CHOICES ARE SIMILAR TO KELLY HOPPEN. YOU COULD MAKE A FEATURE OF THE WINDOW BY BUILDING A STORAGE WINDOW SEAT INTO THE BAY. IT COULD BE EXTRA SEATING/DINING AND SAVE FLOOR SPACE. YOU COULD PUT A NICE SMALL ROUND DINING TABLE OR FOLD AWAY TABLE AND ADD SOME KARTEL LOUIS GHOST STYLE CHAIRS THERE, THERE ARE SOME GOOD INEXPENSIVE IDENTICAL COPIES. THEY ARE TRANSPARENT ACRYLIC AND STACKABLE IT WOULD MAKE A GORGEOUS EXTRA OCCAISIONAL DINING AREA, OR A NICE SPOT FOR HUBBY TO READ NEWSPAPER. YOU COULD MAKE WINDOW ROMAN BLINDS IN SHEER VOILE THE TRICK IS TO DO 3 LAYERS, THAT WAY THE LIGHT FLOODS IN, BUT NO-ONE CAN SEE IN. YOU COULD ALSO GET A CEILING MOUNTED TRACK, MADE IN LIGHTWEIGHT PLASTIC AND VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE, THAT WAY YOU HANG LIGHWEIGHT CURTAINS FROM CEILNG, IT MAKES CEILING LOOK HIGHER. I LIKED YOUR CHOICE IN LIGHTS I LOVE THE ONE ON THE TOP RIGHT. YOU ALREADY HAVE GOOD TASTE, BUT I WOULD SAY MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF LIGHT INTO THE ROOM. GOOD LUCK.

Try http://www.handmadekitchens-direct.co.uk - our kitchen was installed when we bought the house but I know from some paperwork left by the previous owners that this is where it came from. From what I can gather the previous owner painted the kitchen herself too to save some money. It's a very good quality kitchen that has stood the test of time and 3 children! I'll have a quick tidy and post some pics if you think it would help. Good luck.

If you type 'white silgranit' in the search bar above, you will find many old threads about the pros and cons. Do the same for 'fireclay'. I read many posts before deciding on stainless for my prep sink and cast iron for my clean up sink. Had both previously so knew what I was getting into.

I have done the white siligranit sink a couple of times for clients and they are both really happy with them. After several months of use there are still no scratches and one thing they both commented on was the fact that there is no noise when you put a pan in the sink . Stainless sinks are noisy and the siligranit aren't. To be quite honest I had tried to talk my clients out of the this sink however I had to give in and they love their sinks

I have both (stainless & white, in different homes ). I thought I was the only person in the world that prefers a white sink. I’m constantly wiping down my stainless sink, any spots drive me crazy. I find it noisy & a PITA.

I had a white Blanco Cascade Precis in my last home of 5 years and had no issues with staining. Clean it regularly like you would any sink and it will still look great. I used Bar Keepers Friend about once a week and would clean fairly quickly if I put anything that would stain, i.e., spaghetti sauce. And honestly that is about the only thing that ever had any need to really get it done quick. I would buy a white one again. Not sure if others are speaking from personal experience or what. Maybe if they did they just didn't make any effort to keep it looking clean.
