Cabinet Size for 36" Shaw Apron Sink
Comments (7)Quilt girl--that's really beautiful. No, my setup works fine even if you wanted to go the scribed route. But, I guess I became concerned a few weeks ago when I read on here that the granite/countertop would have to be removed to change out the sink if the sink ever needed to be replaced. But, with a larger sink base that was not the case. The sink could be easily replaced from underneath without removing the countertop. Too late for my kitchen, but thought I might save you a little trouble by mentioning it. Hopefully, the sink in my kitchen will last forever. Good luck in whatever you decide....See MoreSoapstone counters/Apron sinks
Comments (7)Hi, I have soapstone (which I DIY-ed) and the 30" Whitehaus sink. My kitchen dates to 2006-7 and the CT/sinks are holding up really well. SS is impervious to anything; my variety of stone is rather hard so nicks and scratches are non-issues. Some softer varieties scratch more readily, but Soapstone is user-serviceable, and the scratching can be addressed by sanding. In the first pics, you are looking at the CT the day of installation, with its first and only coat of oil. I removed the oil and let it darken naturally. Oiling was going to be a hassle for me, and that's not what I wanted out of a CT material. Nine months of age, darkening nicely: The one thing I will tell you about Apron-front sinks-- most cabinet installers have never fitted one, and some subpar installation attempts have been documented here. I DIY-ed mine, and because I assembled my own cabinets I was able to use it to my advantage in getting a perfect scribed fit between faceframe and sink. The 'natural variation" (irregularity) of these sinks excludes the use of a factory template to simplify the cutout, and stopping to make a template is outside of the normal installation process for most cabinet hangers. Expect to pay a premium for a great installation. Ask for references for these kinds of sinks. It's too easy to screw it up.

Comments (2)I think it depends on what you want. Do you want it to be out past the average countertop overhang? I personally like the look of the sink coming past the counter, so I am planning on 2". If you want it flush or less then 1.5" or under....See MoreCountertops with no overhang
Comments (15)The overhang is measured from the face of the cabinet box/frame. Not from the face of the doors/drawers. So in essence, when you have 24" deep cabinet with 1" thick door mounted to the front of it (including gap between door and box), you would have a counter of 25.5" deep (24 + 1.5 overhang). This gives you .5" overhang past the front of the overlay doors/drawers. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2509485/countertop-overhang-and-depth-standards ^^^ is true for my overlay cabs and overhang, except that my main prep counter is 39" deep. So, I poured a glass of water right on the edge and it dripped on the drawer edge and face. Half-bullnose edge....See Morepinch_me
