The most important thing to consider when selecting a new sink is whether or not it will fit the sink cabinet. Many sink manufacturers will indicate the recommended minimum cabinet size for their sinks. Below are some general guidelines for selecting a sink, however, fit and placement will be confirmed by the Solid Surface NY Team after your countertop area has been measured.
– Undermount sink: The entire sink must be able to fit inside the cabinet, including the flange that runs around the outside edge. Some oversized sinks require deeper than normal cabinets to allow room for the faucet and fixtures.
– Drop-in sink: The bowl(s) must fit inside the cabinet (left to right); the finished flange will sit on top of the countertop.
– Vessel: Typical installation requires vessel sinks to fit the area of the countertop. However, since vessels are often custom fit it is recommended that you consult a designer or representative of The Top Shop to verify fit.
– Apron: Apron sinks must fit inside the cabinet (left to right). All apron sinks MUST be installed prior to digital templating.
