Drainboard sinks are installed the same way as other kitchen sink models. A drainboard sink requires a full cut-out to include the size of the drainboard. The drainboard section of the sink does not get installed on top of the counter. A sink with a drainboard is a very practical solution which extends your workspace. Drainboards can typically be installed on the left or the right based on your preference and can be installed over dishwashers or drawer units. A detailed installation template is provided in the sinks packaging and will serve as a guide for your countertop fabricator to follow.
