30 or 36' sink cabinet? Offset drain sink???

14 years ago

We will be ordering the cabinets on Friday! Suddenly we have converted to single bowl sink! We want to be able to put a trash can under the sink and are looking for a single sink with an offset drain (the drain to the side or the back) so that there will be room for the trash can underneath. We will be putting a garbage disposal and possible a faucet filter.

We need help with the following questions:

1. Does anybody know of a single bowl, offset drain sink brand to recommend?

2.Is stainless steel the best material? We found some offset drain single bowl sinks but they were all solid surface, never heard of this material for sinks.

3. Which size sink will fit in a 30 or 36" cabinet? (We are going with IKEA and they do not make 33"). We want to be able to fit a dishpan inside the sink. I figured that if we go with a 30" cabinet we could have a 6" spice cabinet pullout, but this is not terrible important. More important is to be able to fit the trash can.

THank you very much in advance!

I bought the Kohler 8 Degree single bowl sink, which is 33". The drain is offset and the sink is stainless. It's not cheap but I got a good deal on it at Overstockdeals. I also went with IKEA cabs, so the sink is going into a 36" sink base.

My counters will be measured/templated tomorrow, wich means the sink will be installed in about a week.

Blanco has a couple of great silgranit sinks with offset drains. One is offset to the middle back, and one is offset to the corner in back. I love silgranit sinks. They never get water spots like stainless. They are quieter than stainless. They don't scratch like cast iron. Do a search at the bottom of the page for granite sinks, or silgranite, or silgranit. They are really fab! Oh, and pretty too with several colors available.

The one I'm planning is the Precis with the middle back drain. It has a quilted bottom so water drains easier. I can't remember the name of the other, but if you go to faucet direct.com and use their filter search you should find them both.

I can certainly understand your fellings about my post. If you read my comments you will see that I try very hard to be honest and unbias. If you notice, I mention I believe Julian to be the best stainless sink on the market. I believe there is a post on GW from someone that mentioned that i referred them to Julian. I am an idealist and a realist. I joined this forum to "give back". If you were given the above photo would you not share it? My beef with Kohler was the reason I hesitated to put the photo up. I felt the negative comments that would come my way would be worth the good that might come from it. I realized that my effort might be misconstrued. My real concern is with products coming from China. I have quite a bit of good second hand information regarding SOME Stainless sinks coming from China that rust. I am careful to post what I believe are facts that can be backed up. I am not trolling for sales. I fact I am trying to figure out how to slow sales down, as we are uncomfortably busy. I truly hope your sink is of high quality and you are thrilled with it. I fully realize my passion for my beliefs can be misunderstood, so I will try to be more careful in the future with my posts.

Where to buy huge single sink offset drain

Teehee1984 - can you provide more details as to dimensions? What was the width of your previous 90/10 sink, and what is the width of your current single bowl sink? I can't figure out how the 90% side of the divided bowl sink can be larger than a single bowl sink unless the overall width of the divided sink was larger. I myself have a single bowl stainless steel sink with drain in the corner. I actually had it custom made because I needed a specific size to fit in my kitchen's corner location. I remember that the sink maker told me although they can place the drain wherever I specified, they didn't like to put it too far into the corner (like the Franke EuroPro GNX11028 pictured in Lee676's post above). It depends on your setup, but putting a drain that far in the corner may not leave enough room for your disposal's width. It's something to check first before buying. My custom sink has a corner drain location similar to the Silgranit Super Single sink pictured above, and fits my large disposal easily. I like my stainless steel sink, but I have to admit that the scratches and water marks aren't good. Though in the scheme of life, scratches and water marks will not ruin my day haha. But If I had a choice, and didn't need a custom size, I'd go for the ease of the Silgranit sinks.

Help me pick kitchen sink: offset drain or "perfect drain"?

I have to respectfully disagree with Anglophilia. I am in my second kitchen with a sink with an offset drain. Each has had a 3/4 hp batch feed Waste King disposal which is a pretty large model. No issue with fitting it under the offset drain. I suppose the case may be different with different sinks, so Anglophilia has a good point that it would be a good preemptive idea for the OP to check her disposal and under-sink dimensions. I have not had an issue though with 2 sinks. One advantage of an offset drain is that the disposal is off to the side leaving more of a clear area under the sink for storage (vs the disposal hanging in the center of the storage area).

Where to find a small 24" vanity with offset sink and offset drain

Thanks @eld6161 but I looked at all wayfair product, the one you show wont work cause the sink is on the left but the drain is not on the right of the centerline of the vanity by 3" @Jan Moyer inches matter, here where I am permit guys are crazy picky, my contractor got jobs not permitted twice because of a clearance of 28" and 29" and said he is not gonna take the risk anymore to then have to redo it. @vdcruise : I don't wanna waste the space below the sink (super small bathroom). So I definitely need a vanity with drawers or doors to store stuff. I don't understand why sink has to be big. I like to have some space to keep a nice toothbrush/paste holder, soap dispenser, and maybe another couple items you use all the time? Maybe I am missing the point, but why does the sink have to be big. As a man, I don't get it, but maybe I miss stuff girls do (maybe dye the hair, but do you need a bigger than 16" circular sink for that? S.uch as this beautiful one)

I have a single bowl curved front SS sink. it's a 36" sink in a 36" cabinet (IKEA). The brand is Lavello. The drain is a rear drain. We have a disposal (rather large one) and can fit two smaller sized trash cans under the sink.
