Ticor undermount apron front sink
Comments (1)you might want to call them and ask if they have a photo of the style, or link, they can email you. i've called them three times on various items and i can always ask to speak to the same guy on the phone. it's like there are only three of them working the phone, at least that's my impression--so you can get the level of service you expect in a small company, but with large inventory prices. it wouldn't hurt to ask!...See MoreStainless steel undermount or Apron Front sink?

Comments (2)Hi nollie, Im afraid I cant help you with the apron versus undermount issue, but my mom came up with a great solution for the single versus double bowl issue. She ended up with a single bowl undermount sink (33"x22"), and she keeps a small plastic tray (roughly 8" wide and 4-5" deep, and about 12" long) in it that she uses as needed, for soaking utensils or other items.

Perhaps you could go with a single bowl apron, save yourself some $$, and then come up with some type of useful tray/tub item that would serve as your second bowl....See MoreRoll-Up Drying Rack on an Apron-Front undermount sink?
Comments (22)^^This is what I did, but it turns out that there are standard sizes for these rollup racks, and they are either too small or too big, so I have ended up with the slope anyway.

If you do rest it on the reveal, that works, but it sticks out in the front and I kept bumping into it and knocking things around, so I just rest it on the back. My adjustable colander works fine, though. What I need is 18.5", give or take a quarter, but they appear to come in 17.5 and 20.5 (which makes sense for standard sink sizes). If anyone sees an 18.5, lmk!...See MoreCan an Ikea Havsen apron sink be installed as undermount?
Comments (5)You can undermount that sink, especially since you'll have custom doors. Use a small positive reveal and a strap/harness system, not wood blocking, please....See Moresherri1058
