Split.

Lol. Sorry, just having fun.

What kind of faucet you are you getting?

You had me going there! Hangrohe Axor Citterio.

And what sink? :)

Sorry Morgne, I should have provided all of that info up front. Its a Kindred 33" rectangular 70/30 split. To the extent it matters (and from memory), the large bowl is almost 19 " and is 9" deep and the small bowl is 11" and 8" deep. All thoughts welcome!

Johnny,

I hate to ask an endless series of questions but I can't identify which Kindred you have!

Does the sink just go straight across at the back? No curves or ???

We have a Franke sink that it probably a 70/30 split but it curves down (in?) towards the front at the split and that's where our tap is - it's set into the curve. The curve and tap are then centered on the window. The sink itself is not centered on the window.

We ran into this with our sink. 33" Kraus double bowl - 60-40 split. The sink (and cabinet/cabinet doors) are fairly-well centered on the window. The window is split so it has a divider running down the center. I had them center the faucet on the sink so it lined up with the divider in the window and the split between the cabinet doors. It's a rather tall arched faucet so it would have been very noticeable had it not lined up with the other visual lines. It is a large enough faucet and has a wide enough swing so it reaches both bowls just fine. With a 70-30 split double-bowl, that's something I would check - both with the stream setting and the spray setting if your faucet has both.

There are several versions of the Axor Citterio, with different shapes. In general the spout is shaped to enable the stream to reach forward a little bit.

Since the Axor Citterio faucet stream is angled forward a bit, the faucet reaches farther than the number of inches it might seem when you view the dimensions of the spout arm. This is one good reason (reach) to the have faucet centered in the 30" wide space defined by the two bowls.

Another good reason to center the faucet is that the divider partition line between the two bowls does not become the reference line for the faucet to be anchored there. The faucet then stands on its own, not forced to sit at the end of a partition wall.

Thx for the helpful replies. Our Kindred sink is a straight edge across the back, so no curves or indents for faucet placement. One more fact I forgot to mention is that the sink will be on an island, and so very visible from the open concept family room. I originally thought it should be lined up at the dividing point of the bowls, but Davidro1, your reply seems to suggest otherwise. I can certainly see the logic. Hmmm.

Yikes! We are in the final stages and I thought all was going so well. We'll have this same issue with the 70/30 split and a curved edge, under a window.
Do you guys have pictures? I'd especially like to see blfenton and funfarm's! :)
Thanks!
our granite gets installed on June 8th!

Just wanted to thank JohnnyToronto for posting this quesion in the first place, and all those who responded!

There is no such thing as a "silly" question! You saved us from having an off-centered faucet, which would have looked awful, IMHO. After loosing a nights sleep over this, I called the fabricator, who sent over the measuring people, who got back to me in the same day. They'll have to cut into the cabinet's side, but I'll have the 70/30 divider even with my window and sink cabinet doors, which is where the natural place for the faucet to sit too! Yeah!

You're welcome! It just goes to show you there is always someone else struggling with the same decision. We had our sink and faucet installed this week and went with the mid way point on the sink. Lines up better with everything else around it and looks great. Good luck with your installation.

Pictures please. :)

If our sink didn't have the curved top, with the bigger bowl longer than the smaller, we could have gotten away with centering the sink. The way it is, the faucet will only fit at the divider, not the middle of the sink. I'll post pics. after next weekend! :)

This is our sink:

HHmmm, after looking at it like this, I guess we could move the faucet over to the left just a little? We shall see... The kitchen we're remodeling is our vacation/retirement home, 5 hours away, in Lake Havasu, AZ. Can't wait to get back there on Friday, when the granite is being installed!!!

You're going to want your faucet centered over both sinks at the divider. I would never have thought to worry about whether to center the faucet with the window. The sink yes, not the faucet.

It all worked out. Whew...I can sleep again! LOL Until the next project...backsplash!
