Tools and Hardware Reviews of Blanco 511-652 Diamond Super Single Bowl Kitchen Sink, Anthracite Finish
Customer Review: Love this sink!
Summary: 5 Stars
After a miserable experience with Americast sinks, I was careful to do my homework before selecting a replacement. The Blanco brand overall has received a lot of good feedback from people on review/chat boards, and the Silgranit in particular has been well received.
I'll add my voice to the Silgranit supporters - this is one fantastic sink! The color is wonderful - looks great and so easy to keep clean. I've been using the Blanco cleaner and it works well, but they say in their documentation that you can use any nonabrasive cleaner with good results, and use Bar Keepers Friend for stubborn stains.
Very easy to install. The sink weighs about 45 pounds, so it's not a chore to lift into place. I mounted it as a drop in, but you can also mount it as an undermount. Really like that the rim is flat so when mounted as a drop in you can use the back rim to hold items (like a brush/scrubber holder) without it falling off. It comes with 10 clips should you want to do an undermount so there's nothing additional that needs to be purchased.
It comes with one center hole drilled, but you can easily add more. There are a total of six additional hole punchouts - the back is scored so you can punch out the hole using a hammer. Blanco provides detailed directions on how to do so, even specifying the type and size of the hammer you should use. One hole was fine for my install, but this is a great feature for those who need something other than the standard hole layout - you can get a custom layout without paying an extra dime (or having to wait weeks for a special order).
The sink is very well packed at the factory with foam all over. Survived the UPS truck without a scratch.
Blanco customer service is responsive. I emailed them with a question concerning the use of plumbers putty and they got back to me within an hour. They do not recommend using plumbers putty since the oils in it can leach into the granite and stain. You probably wouldn't notice it on the anthracite color but, to be on the safe side, I used marble-safe putty. That can be hard to find since the big box hardware stores typically don't carry it, but you can usually find it at a plumbing supply house. Other options are clear silicon (which is what Blanco recommends) that you can find anywhere. Silicon can work great but it's a real bear to get rid of should you want to change out a faucet or drainpipe down the road. If you can find it, marble safe putty is the better option.
I was a bit worried that I would miss having two basins, but one big basin is so much more useful. You can soak cookie sheets, large pans, etc. with ease. Great to have all that room!
