Ideal space between wall mount faucet and farmhouse sink?
Comments (3)Just measured and ours is 6" above cabinet edge (4.75" above counter) to the mounting point. We had an old one there and didn't change the height, but it's worked well. We have a deep single bowl sink, though it's not a farmhouse sink--but I don't think that would change the spacing. Our faucet neck also swivels out of the way, which helps to get bulky things into the sink....See MoreIs your farmhouse sink base cabinet 'bumped out' ?
Comments (8)Hops, thanks for responding! I really like your sink and other elements in your kitchen! I'm glad you shared the photos with me. I do like how the bump out looks, and the pretty feet too! Anybody else willing to comment or share your photos about the bump out? I'd like to see photos of famhouse sinks without the bump out too. Thanks, Terry...See MoreApron Sinks/Farmhouse Sinks
Comments (26)I'm not a fan of a sink with an upper over it. I think you need to stand too close to the front of the door, no matter what. But if you are determined to do that, then by all means I would consider using a farm sink and bumping it out. That means setting it proud (forward) of the front of the sink cabinets and the adjacent base cabinets. I have this arrangement (my sink cabinet is bumped out as well) and it makes working at the sink extremely comfortable because I get farther over it. The trick is in the selection of the sink. The classic Rohl fireclays are the same all the way around. The sink on the floor upthread is the same. But some farm sinks have notches on the side to fit against the cabinet fronts. Some have a flange. Before you choose/buy it's important to figure out how you want the sink to look and then choose one that will do what you wish. There are so many choices, even in SS it shouldn't be a problem. One factor is whether you prefer a 0 radius sink (square corners) or a more traditional sink with rounded corners. How far you want the sink to protrude -- mine stick out 2 inches in front of the cabinet. One sink upthread has the curved front and doesn't protrude much. Etc. Lots of photos on the link plus a farm-sink installation tutorial that will explain the general concept. Here is a link that might be useful: Farm Sink Gallery...See Moreexcess Caulk between Farmhouse sink and granite?
Comments (1)The caulk amount has to do with whomever installed the sink too low. The other option is to not install, and take everything back to the shop until that is fixed by your cabinet installer. A bit too much caulk was what they chose to do....See MoreUser
