Pouring a concrete sink.

Making a large hole as in the above 2 sink options greatly increases the overall weakness of the concrete piece and stress cracks are common around sinks. It will thoroughly blend the mix with much less elbow grease than mixing by hand. And versatile to boot. Cut one piece of melamine the same size as the finished countertop.

Install as apron front or standard undermount. The concrete forms are made of 3 4 melamine boards. Melamine is readily available at home centers and lumber yards has smooth surfaces that don t imprint on the finished concrete and won t de laminate. This concrete farmhouse sink not only looks good but is also hard working with two deep bowls and simple maintenance.

The box is 2 wider than the sink mold on all sides and sloped in the front to follow the slope of the sink mold. Choose a high strength concrete mix it doesn t need to be a countertop mix but that variety is also available. Using a sink mold sold here you can place the mold as part of your form work and pour the sink as part of the countertop this is a great option for overall strength of the concrete. Clean the entire form with denatured alcohol to get rid of any excess silicone and debris.

Work quickly when pouring concrete countertops but don t be sloppy or careless. Don t mind that fancy copper patina in the sink. The farmhouse double bowl concrete kitchen sink adeptly combines form with function.
