Ikea 24" Base Kitchen Cabinet Undermount Sink Questions

7 years ago

The inside of the base cabinet is 22.5". Countertops will be granite.

This sink shows that it will fit on there website specs:

https://www.blanco-germany.com/en_ca/en_ca/sinks_en_ca/product_catalogue_en_ca/product_detail.html?sid=BLANCO+QUATRUS+U+1+stainless+steel&filter=true

22" total length. Minimum base cabinet size: 24"

We like this sink more however:

http://www.kraususa.com/pax-zero-radius-22-1-2-inch-16-gauge-handmade-undermount-single-bowl-stainless-steel-kitchen-sink.html

22.5" total length. Minimum base cabinet size: 27"

We already have the cabinets and 24" is only size that fits so getting a bigger cabinet won't work. Do you think the second sink would give us any problems when installing? There wouldn't be room for clips on the sides holding it up but i've heard they can use epoxy or they could use L brackets to the side cabinet walls.

Any advice from sink installers / cabinet experts that have any experience installing sinks within tight cabinets?

Thanks!

Your second choice will fit easily, but disregard clips or brackets, please. You want to strap this sink in place with a Hercules Universal Sink Harness (Braxton Bragg) or a Sink Strap or two from Regent Stone Products. When you strap, not having room is no longer an issue as the connection(s) are made at the sink bottom instead of at the flange.

I undermounted a 33" sink into a 33" cabinet yesterday and do it regularly.

I hope it's ok to ask a related question here. I have seen Joseph's replies to other posts recommending the HUSH solution, but I don't know enough to be able to explain to my contractor why this can work. I, too, have a 24" IKEA Sektion cabinet and want to install the longest undermount sink possible. Based on what I've read about HUSH, I thought I could select a Kohler undermount with basin length = 22.25". But my contractor said that the flange is still 24" and asked if the flange sits on top of the cabinet and, if so, how that impacts the countertop. I'd be grateful if you can point me in the right direction Joseph! FYI, here is the sink: https://www.build.com/kohler-k-5286-kitchen-sink/s867441?uid=2217519#specifications

Try HomePerfect.com... Blanco 441-024. It's 26" inside (28" outside), 9" deep. That's the one I got for a 33" sink base. If you shop around don't be fooled by the "low price guarantee" from OverstockDeals (NOT the same as Overstock) as they actually "do not guarantee the LOWEST price"...kind of a play on words and a scam that I got involved with!!

Steve, I'm in the UK so am unfamiliar with Home Depot items. However, sinks in that price range over here I'd imagine would be similar, same gauge of s/steel etc and friends who have them hate stainless. Our sink in our old kitchen when we bought this house was a DIY store special I think ( everything the owners did was cheap and to enable a sale). It was the bane of my life. Hated it with a passion and vowed never to have stainless. Well, then I found this forum! I now have a kohler stages 45 sink and its 16g and obviously was £££ but I love it. Cleans up a dream and is very quiet too. It is a massive part of our kitchen functionality. So that was the only reason I said to get the best sink you can afford nothing specific about that sink ( though H.D do it in 16g and it is over $300 the one you linked is 18g which is still good but not the top) you are right that it is possible to remove a sink that is under-mounted and replace it especially if it has been installed with a cradle system like HUSH, undo the cradle, loosen the silicon round the sink and it will come free. however, if the sink is as big as the cabinet or almost and the cabinets have been messed with to enable it to fit it will not be possible to get that sink out of there without breaking into that cabinet that's really why I said originally, try and go for the best sink now rather than come unstuck.

30" sink cabinet with 23" undermount sink?
Q

I agree with AnnKH. A "no" to such a small sink. Furthermore, I would get the sink you like, not the one the fabricator recommends (is he supplying it as well?). There are several material options: stainless steel, Silgranit (people with soapstone have bought the Silgranit sink in the anthracite color so that it blends with their soapstone, a nice look), and enameled cast iron. You will live with this sink for years. Don't get an undersized one. And don't feel rushed into choosing - make sure you get one you will like using.

It's a great cabinet, but based on other people's posts in the past, you might want to give some consideration to how you will remove it should the sink ever need to be replaced. Mapping out a strategy now may help you down the road.

Hi Joseph,

I know this is an old tread but it was very helpful. I have have a similar situation as Bennett. I want to use the Kraus sink with the IKEA 24 inch pull out sink inch cabinet and a delta Trinsic faucet. Will I be able to fit the faucet behind the sink in the stone?

I know this is an older thread but just curious if you were able to get the 22” sink in the 24” base IKEA cabinet. We are in the same situation. I want a bigger sink but only can fit the 24” cabinet.
