The Blanco Liven Bar 15 brings premium German engineering to compact bar and prep applications with its SILGRANIT composite construction. This versatile dual-mount sink measures 16.75 inches by 20.5 inches overall, featuring a generous single bowl perfect for entertaining spaces. Our production-ready DXF template delivers precision cutouts optimized for natural stone countertops, available in four installation variants to match your fabrication workflow. Whether you're installing in granite, quartz, or marble, this template ensures flawless undermount or drop-in installations every time.
Installation Overview
Installing the Blanco Liven Bar 15 requires careful attention to reveal tolerances and material thickness considerations. This compact bar sink fits 21-inch minimum cabinets, making it ideal for tight spaces where full-size sinks won't work. The SILGRANIT composite material provides exceptional durability while remaining lighter than traditional cast iron or fireclay sinks. Our template package includes four critical variants: no-reveal for flush mounting, 1/8-inch reveal for standard undermount applications, 1/2-inch overhang for thicker stone materials (3cm and beyond), and drop-in configuration for top-mount installations. Each variant has been field-tested across hundreds of installations in granite fabrication shops. The rear-positioned drain maximizes usable bowl space and cabinet storage below, a thoughtful design element that installers and homeowners appreciate. When templating, always verify the sink orientation and drain location before cutting, as the asymmetrical bowl design requires precise positioning for optimal workflow in bar applications.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC operators will appreciate the clean geometry of this template, featuring generous 0.75-inch corner radii that reduce bit stress and minimize chipping on fragile materials like quartzite. Program your machine for a two-pass approach: roughing pass at 80% feed rate followed by a finish pass at 60% for glass-smooth edges. The SILGRANIT material's tight manufacturing tolerances mean your cutouts must be equally precise - we recommend holding ±0.010-inch accuracy throughout. For undermount installations, polish the cutout edge to 400-grit minimum to ensure proper adhesive bonding and prevent future delamination. The template's CAD layers clearly separate the cutout line from reference geometry, making toolpath programming straightforward even for entry-level CNC operators. Always confirm sink orientation before cutting, as the drain position affects final installation.
Material Compatibility
This template excels across all natural stone materials, engineered quartz, and ultra-compact surfaces. In granite installations, the compact 16.75-inch width works beautifully in narrow galley kitchens and butler's pantries where space is at a premium. Quartzite fabricators should use diamond tooling rated for hard materials and increase corner radius dwell time to prevent micro-fracturing. For quartz countertops, the SILGRANIT composite's thermal expansion coefficient closely matches engineered stone, reducing stress at the bond line during temperature fluctuations. When installing in marble, apply a penetrating sealer to the cutout edge before sink mounting to prevent moisture wicking and staining. The sink's 8-inch depth provides ample bowl volume without requiring excessive countertop thickness - it works perfectly in both 2cm and 3cm installations. For waterfall edge details or mitered returns, position the sink to maintain minimum 3-inch edge distance for structural integrity.
