Cabinets For Kitchen Farm Sinks
Filed Under Sinks | Leave a Comment
Kitchen farm sinks usually need custom cabinets built to house them. Those that are exceptionally craft may be able to reconfigure an existing counter to house a farm sink, but custom cabinets are more common. In this post I want to share what it takes to have a cabinet built for your new kitchen farm sink.
For those that aren’t sure what a farm style sink is, it’s a period style sink where the front of the sink extends to the front of the cabinet. They’re usually made from ceramic, copper, stainless steel, or even concrete and granite. Their unique design doesn’t allow them any support from the counter top, like most sinks, instead they are supported by the base of the cabinet.
Since farm sinks are made from such heavy materials (concrete!?) they require some serious support underneath. The weight of the sink grows quickly when there is water in the sink since water weighs a bit under 8.5 lbs/gal, so there could be another 60 or 80 pounds of weight while doing dishes. This leads to two common designs for farm sink cabinets. The most common is the braced cabinet which works to hold the weight in the cabinet. The other is to have a gap in the cabinets and allow pillars or pedestals to support the sink. Pillars are generally made from stone or concrete, and have to be mounted into the wall or cabinet to keep the sink from falling over. This creates an extremely dramatic effect.
The best time to get a kitchen farm sink is when you’re updating your kitchen cabinets so you can get it all finished at once. If not you’re going to be stuck with a sink and nowhere to put it!
