Kitchen Sink

Hafele Kitchen Sink

Configuring space for your new kitchen sink is one of the most-important chores when you begin a remodeling project.  If you measure wrong, you may not only have to start over, you could find yourself cutting countertops to fit–and that can be costly. What begins as a project to add one kitchen element turns into a sprawling monster that eats up your budget.

Are you installing new counters and cabinets? Are you planning on relocating the sink entirely?  I recommend that you locate the sink where it belongs–with sufficient space that will not obstruct your work flow. Perhaps you need to measure the entire kitchen to account for more than the sink. If you’re doing a plan for the entire kitchen, you need to consider plumbing and electrical. I should remind you before removing the old sink, be sure to turn off the water supply. Remove the handles and faucet and lift the old sink out but do not forget to measure from the lip of the sink to the countertop.

As I always say to my co-workers, things can be done right with detailed plan.
