Under sink space with Ticor Single Bowl Sink
Comments (11)Jaymielo  It fits, it fits!!! I found a pullout and just had to share it with you so you can see a trash pullout under the Ticor sink, and a Evolution garbage disposal in a 33" sink base. (doing happy dance :) As you can see from the pictures above, the top of the cans nearly graze the 10" deep Ticor sink so over filling the bins is not an option. Our granite is the 3cm stuff which I believe is the thickest available; 2cm slabs should give more clearance. I couldn't believe it when I spotted the Rev-a-Shelf Double 27Qt. Pull-Out (RV-15PBC-S) in Lowes Saturday and it was over 50% less than the one on the Revashelf website (RV-15KD)!!! (The door mount kit was also 50% less). The installation was super easy. The only problem I encountered wasnÂt with the width or height, but the depth!!! Of all things, the thick air switch plug/box for the garbage disposal protrudes about 2" and interferes with the rear bin. Otherwise it fits perfectly! Fortunately since I planned on using the two bins for food scraps and redeemable cans/bottles I will only need a small pale for the food scraps I may just switch out the rear bin for a smaller pale for food scraps and leave it at that. If you have any control over the placement of your outlets and plumbing I would try to get them positioned so that they arenÂt directly behind the pullout and you'll have no problem. Good luck on your remodel! Here is a link that might be useful: Lowes RV-15PBC same as RV-15KD...See MoreSingle bowl sink with no other prep sink--your thoughts
Comments (18)In reference to your 30 inch base question... I have a 23 inch SS single-bowl in a 30 inch base and opted for this size because I have a small kitchen and preferred counter space instead of a larger sink (no prep sink either). I measured and found that the sink depth (mine comes to a bit over 9 inches including countertop) - and my choice of a high-arc faucet with a pull-down - was just as important as the width of the sink. I cook daily - and bake often - and wanted to be able to clean pots/pans/cookie sheets easily - which I can do with my 23 inch. I quickly move DW items into the DW so don't use my sink to stack/store so much. Like artemis above, I also have over-sink colanders that I love to use as I do lots of veggie rinsing/prepping and moving the over-sink items around on a single-bowl is super easy. I think it all comes down to use and personal preference. Note how you use your current sink - if you love it - keep it! Perhaps a change in faucet - or some new sink colanders/cutting boards - might make all the difference....See MoreI have a single bowl sink now and ....
Comments (39)I don't have loads of counter space...what are you all doing when you wash pots and pans? Are you drying them one at a time and putting them away? Are you putting a towel out on the counter and laying them up there as they come out of sink? I have almost no counter space and a decent-sized single bowl sink. I have a dishrack that I set up next to the sink when I do the dishes, and I put them away when dry. When not in use, the dishrack goes underneath the sink. I love my single bowl. My MIL just replaced her old double-bowl sink with a new one, and Xmas dinner prep and clean-up in her kitchen was a nightmare. She uses the smaller bowl to drain dishes, but the tall dishes/pans which were draining kept interfering with the swing of the (too-short) faucet from one bowl to the other. Plus, since there was a big meal being fixed, the small bowl was always full of draining dishes. And her bigger bowl is not close to large enough to fit a 13x9 lasagna pan, so all the dirty pans from cooking the dinner side-dishes got filled with soapy water and lined up on the kitchen counter for a pre-soak. Once the washing started, the unlucky dishwasher had to scrub one half of the pan, dump the water, then maneuver to do the other half, back and forth, until the pan was clean....See MoreReplacing 60/40 2-bowl sink with a Single Bowl Sink
Comments (38)The faucet and dispenser holes are filled with scraps from the cut-out. This is a job I did last week; removing a failed polyester bowl from a polyester solid surface top and replacing it with a stainless steel sink. No countertops were removed in the process. It isn't that much different with stone, the trick is making sure the footprint of the replacement is identical to or larger than that of the original. I've had budget-conscious clients that didn't care that the negative reveals were off on their replacement sinks in stone. Sink, faucet, soap dispenser, and disposal replacement, plumbing, top refinish and cleanup (ooo..it's messy) just over 3K. That's a Mirabelle sink made in Vietnam. Nice....See Moreoldhousegal
