Sink base cabinets come in various sizes to accommodate different sink configurations. The width of the cabinet is primarily determined by the sink size. Here's a breakdown of standard sizes:
Standard Sink Base Cabinet Sizes
The typical dimensions of sink base cabinets correlate with the type of sink they will house. Here are some common sizes, with examples:
| Sink Type | Cabinet Width |
|---|---|
| Single Basin Sink | 30 inches |
| Double Basin, Offset | 33 inches |
| Double Basin Sink | 36 inches |
These are common sizes, but variations do exist to accommodate specific needs. Sink base cabinets will typically have a depth of 24" inches, which is the standard depth for base cabinets, and a height of 34 1/2" inches without the countertop.
Factors Influencing Sink Base Cabinet Size
- Sink Type: As noted above, single, double, and offset double basin sinks will require different cabinet widths.
- Plumbing: The cabinet must be wide enough to accommodate the plumbing connections.
- Available Space: The overall space you have in your kitchen will dictate the maximum size of the sink base cabinet.
When planning a kitchen renovation, it's best to select your sink before purchasing the corresponding base cabinet. You will also want to verify the actual interior dimensions of the cabinet to make sure your sink will fit properly, since there can be slight differences between manufacturers.
Knowing these standard sizes will help you plan your kitchen design and ensure the proper fit between your sink and base cabinet.
