We had it installed by a contractor, and I believe they included a template in the package. I no longer have it, and I'm unable to attach a photo to what I sent the contractor via email using the app.
My cut out was 15"x15," but the sink isn't 15" square; it's on the outside, and it depends on whether it's dropped in or underneath.
I don't think that would be an issue because the sink is made of heavy-duty materials. However, I'm not sure why you'd need to do so. I went to my local home supply store and bought the bronze sink drain that was recommended, as well as a bronze faucet with a back paddle control. For the sink, that was all that was required.

For this sink, I'm giving it two stars. One star because the price is extremely reasonable. The second star is for the fact that it appears to be genuine and well-made. rustic. br>However, be prepared to put in some extra effort if you are a do-it-yourselfer. I knew I was in for it when I put the sink in the hole for the first time. It swayed back and forth and didn't sit flush against the counter. +/- 4 or 5mm. After a closer look, I noticed that the edge that makes contact with the counter isn't square and isn't plumb. Wavy to the extreme. With a flap wheel and a grinder, I got that square in a couple of hours. The sink in the hole continued to rock back and forth. The corners were not on the same plane, according to additional measurements. I was able to get it into reasonable shape after another 1 1/2 hours of work with a body hammer and a dolly. At the very least, it wasn't swaying. That was checked off the list. The draining went without a hitch. After that, you'll need to put the faucet in place. The single-hole faucet area is probably the most disappointing aspect of this sink. At the hole, it's a sliver of metal. They should, in my opinion, put something behind it to stiffen it up. To stiffen it up, I used a piece of 1/2" x 4" slat with a 1 1/4" hole drilled into it. I was able to assist in some way. When you turn the faucet on and off, however, it continues to flex and the entire fixture moves back and forth. I don't use this sink very often, so I think I'll be ok. However, in a high-traffic area, I would not use this sink. The purchase was justified by the price and appearance. I also have the necessary tools and experience to make something similar work. It's a bit of a gamble for those who don't know. Perhaps yours will be plumper than mine. Good luck with your endeavors.
I bought this sink (complete with drain and sealant) and I really like how it looks. The only thing I wish they had included are the "rails" that should go on the underside of the lip so you can secure it to the countertop with clips. It is as advertised, appears to be well made (it is not flimsy at all), and looks very attractive. Having said that, I just dabbed some colored silicone under the lip and it seems to be holding for the time being. BTW, I also ordered a Kingston Brass single water faucet, which looks fantastic when installed. The recommended drain that goes with it was also simple to install and looked great!.
This sink is perfect for us. To pound the rim perfectly flat, Husband used a short 2x4 piece with a slightly longer 2x4 piece T'd into it (it was mostly flat, but not perfectly flat!). He then pushed on the plumbing and tightened it from below, as if he were working on a combine. As a result, that "pooched" down the drain, which didn't drain well. So he loosened it up and "pounded" the center back down with his 2 T'd 2x4 method, which worked perfectly. It's impossible to tell if he did anything to it! (And there are no leaks in the plumbing. ) )) We like the metal sink because we don't have to worry about it cracking like a ceramic sink would. We tend to put our faces closer to it than usual because we're using it as a bathroom sink - Brushing your teeth and washing your face are two of the most important things you can do to keep your teeth and And, if it matters to anyone with a Super Sensitive Nose, it naturally smells like copper:.
It's now perfectly level and looks fantastic. My purchase has made me extremely happy. In person, the sink is even more beautiful!.
There are no mounting brackets on this sink, nor is there a groove to keep brackets in place, as there would be on a standard surface mount sink. Supports are required to keep the thin metal firmly attached to the counter. To keep it in place, I used glue blocks underneath and black silicone caulking. It appears to be a good idea, but it will take some time to implement.
Our sink had a dented corner when it arrived, but because it's made of metal, it can be reshaped with some auto body tools (or a rubber mallet and a rounded wooden block). br>The sink does not come with a way to secure it to the countertop, but you can get creative or simply use a bead of silicone/sealant around the edge to keep it in place. br>Overall, a fantastic deal on a high-quality sink that I expect to last for decades!.
It's substantial and well-made, and I adore the Copper finish. Because it's made of copper, I'm not going to use it abrasively or with harsh detergents – the manufacturer even says so on the packaging. br>br>It looks fantastic, and I adore the accent it provides to my kitchen island – I would highly recommend it to anyone who is tired of boring stainless steel sinks!.
This sink is sturdy and attractive; we used it as a bar sink, and it looks great with the granite countertops. I had been looking for a hammered bar sink for a long time, and this one is just as nice as the ones I saw in specialty fixture stores, but at a much lower price.
