Anyone with kids have an above mount sink like this installed? Is it a splash disaster?

I love this sink! There is less water on the counter than there used to be. But I also got a wider sink than I used to have, so I think this helps for hands/face, everything to catch more drips. I have no additional mirror clean up than I used to before, and honestly, no matter what, I find myself cleaning the mirror just as often as before. This has nothing to do with the sink changing. It's just something that happens. I had wished I had this sink when my kids where babies, and could have given them baths in it! Hope this helps.

No, ours is going to go on a door leading into an office, so no water will come in contact.

The back splash is not attached, but the under mount bowl is already in place. I think it's a great value for the money ... although I used my own faucet. Hope this helps.

I installed mine above the counter. The drawbacks are compatibility with the faucet as I have a pullout sprayer and I had to put the mixer valve to the side and water can't drain when you splash behind the sink so I have to wipe it up with a towel constantly. Despite these issues It looks really good I always get compliments and I am happy with it overall.

This is not actually an undermount sink. It has crowned edges. It is misrepresented by the Rohl company. I had to send it back and buy a Kohler as an emergency replacement in time for installation.

The sink looks great but takes a little more care to splash water to the edges of the bottom to ensure that everything gets washed down the drain. Example would be shavings emptied from an electric razor. I have a deep oval self-rimming Kohler sink at a second home that works much better as a sink... but doesn't provide the distinctive modern look of the rectangular undercount. It's a judgement call.

Hello Robin, yes I mounted our sink above the counter 1/4 " , of course I still had to remove the false front and cut into the sides of the cabinet below . the existing doors under cabinet are clear so still function. It just takes a little engineering but we wanted to see the top of the sink and not hide it undermount. I would be happy to send pics, so let me know!

yes, i have install several of these sinks. the only issue is to plan the ptrap so it does not conflict with the drain and the disposal.

Good Question! I have about a 9" deep sink. As someone already said, it doesn't splash when it hits the bottom of the sink but the water pressure is so strong (great in my opinion) that if you are washing a cup up close, it will definitely splash if you have the water turned on all the way. It's an adjustment. It's easy enough to learn not to turn the knob on full. When you are used to that force of water, you'll never go back.

I had wall studs exposed, so I mounted a 2x6 between the studs before sheetrock to give it something strong to hang on.After all sheetrock and paint done I just mounted brackets on wall w screws into that board. Culk and the plyming keeps it from moving around. Another option would be lag bolts w washer.I to found the brackets hard to understand, more the casting on the sink fault though. Just remember people, kids, have a tendancybto lean or rest on sinks.. so make the mount strong.Love the sink, works great!

Mine is under mounted with granite counter tops. It is fantastic !! I think you can have it either under the counter or over, pretty sure it can be done both ways. It's a big sink and I can't tell you how many people make comments on it . Just get it, you don't regret it. I tried to attach a photo but can't for some reason. I'll send you the photo if you send me your email.

Yes, this sink can be mounted as a drop-in (undermount) sink. That is what we did with ours, and it works beautifully.

No problem with water splashing. Perhaps your sink is much more shallow than mine though. I love the look and quality of this faucet.

We have this sink in our master bathroom and we get our share of splashes. If it were in a bathroom that our 2 year old uses, yes it would be a splash disaster! Hope this helps.

Mine is undermounted. However go to the Blanco website for more info on options or call the company. I love my one bowl sink.

Good luck! My tank leaked on mine and I was unable to find just the tank. This is reportedly a problem with this model. My faucet was ok, just the tank....would have purchased something else, but due to no clearance on the splashback am stuck with this model. If you find where you can buy just the tank, I would appreciate your sharing, since the lifespan is only about 3 years from what I have read. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

My sink is undermounted. I'm not sure that the top surface of the sink is finished nice enough for a surface mount. It's been several years since I mounted it. As a undermount it's a great sink, and as such I would recommend it.

No, it certainly doesn't. The "bump" actually conceals the typical overflow holes that any normal sink would have. It's a beautiful sink, but do pay attention to the pedestal portion (2 of 2 parts) that can have a mold/casting problem. Not bacteria, just form. I sent my first one back, the second was more straight but 0.5 in taller...makes a difference for such a tall sink.
