Kitchen Sink Cabinet

The cabinet space beneath the kitchen sink has always been kind of a waste. With the dampness that comes from being in such close proximity to the sink, and so much of the area used up with pipes, traps, and disposals, there really isn't much room for storage. New technologies, however, are making it possible to utilize more room in your kitchen sink cabinet so that you aren't faced with a lot of dead space you could so desperately use for storage.

One of the innovations that are being seen more often are small fold-out drawers along the edge of the cabinet where it meets the countertop. Historically, this was nothing but vented space designed to allow moisture to escape. Now, however, it's being put to better use. Even though the spaces created are small, they come in very handy for such items as sponges and scrubbing pads. These are the unattractive items you used to either have to keep out in plain sight on the edge of the sink or else bend down to put them away or get them out from under the sink.

To most homeowners, the installation of kitchen sink will not anymore be a hard task to do. Proper tracing and cutting out the holes will make the installation easier. Proper measurements of the width and depth of the lower cabinets are needed before installing the sink. This will make sure the new sink to be installed will fit exactly into the counter top and the lower cabinet.

So that the kitchen sink will fit in the cabinet, it must have a 22 inch deep from the front side to the back. The standard cabinet size must also be 24 inch in order to fit if back-splash is not available. The sink will reach up to 20 ½ inches deep on the counter-top if the back-splash is needed. Choices will vary and increase if there are changes on the cabinetry together with the counter-top.
