It is essential to correctly measure the cabinet width where your sink will be installed. The bowl, or bowls in the case of a multi-bowl sink, will need to fit into this space. Each sink will show a cabinet size, and your cabinet width needs to be equal to or greater than the stated measurement.

The type and position of your bowl depends on how you intend to use your sink. If you like room to clean large items like grill pans, a larger single bowl may be best for you, or for a multi-functional purpose, you may prefer the versatility of 2 separate working bowls. For multi-bowl undermount sinks, it is important to decide which side you require the smaller bowl.

The drainer location is also an important consideration. For many sinks you will need to choose the specific version you prefer - with drainer on the left or right hand side. Whereas other sinks are reversible which indicates the drainer can be positioned on either side. Please check which format suits your kitchen best before ordering.
