Will my sink fit??
Comments (2)I took a quick look at the website. It seems like the sinks referred to as 36 inch are 36 inch total, and 32 inch inside dimension, so the the 2 inch rim is included in the size. If that's the case, it could work. What you need to do is call them & ask what the minimum cabinet size is that you will need. There are often a number of considerations with sinks....See More42" sink base cabinet for apron sink...can I do 36" sink?
Comments (21)Nicole: If the end pieces I pictured above were missing, you'd be looking at an exposed cabinet style and the top and bottom rail on each end and a hole between the three. The drawer end covers the void and makes your eye continue the line from the doors upward. A flush piece in the void would have to fit perfectly, be finished matched, would not continue the line, and would therefore look stupid. You're not going to find any pictures because no one would ever go through that much work for something that's not going to look good. Here's a full size 33" apron sink properly mounted in a 36" cabinet. The distance from the cabinet end to the sink apron end will be 3" on your job, not the 1 1/2" pictured here which I admit doesn't look too bad. That sink was replaced by this short apron Elkay Quartz Luxe. The bottom of the apron now lines up with the adjacent drawer bottom, and there is virtually no cabinet face exposed which I think looks better. I made the customer find a factory painted color match trim (you provide, you agree color matches) which I installed above and flush with the top of the middle rail to fill the gap. That didn't have to fit nearly as nicely as flush side fillers would have to, because only the person reaching under the sink will ever see it....See MoreLooking for wide 30/70 stainless sink for 36" cabinet
Comments (1)Check out the Kraus KHU104-33 -- 32.75" long, but it's a 60/40. We felt the smaller side of a 30/70 just a bit too small for our needs. (There may be a variant of this sink -- we needed the larger sink on the right side, which is not that common, apparently.) Good luck! ETA: Ours is a 36" (maybe 37"?) sink base....See More42" sink base cabinet for apron sink...can I do 36" sink?
Comments (4)Why must “the drawer ends be returned to the apron sides?” I personally don’t like the look so want to see what it looks like just to have 3” of cabinet face on either side....See MoreSusieQusie60
