I want this installed undermount with my new Ikea kitchen cabinets. What size base cabinet did you use for this sink?

I used this sink in my preexisting cabinet. It is 37". Make sure to verify this sink can be used undermount. I thought it was a drop in only. I know Blanco has a model specifically for undermount.

Standard 36" or larger. The sink is fabulous, btw. Could never go back to dble. basin steel, or anything else, including the granite.

my base cabinet is 33 ( house built in 1996) and the Blanco is a 32 " top mount to replace a horrible two sink porcelain. I LOVE this sink and the off set drain....the price was right and the black brings some black from the stainless and black appliances to that side of the sink....had it about two months now and am still in love wiht it...good luck...

I do not think this sink will fit in your cabinet, you need a smaller a sink. Consult a cabinet supplier before purchasing sink.

The problem with Ikea is that everything they sell has a name, which is the only key Without the name of the cabinet, I can't figure out whether or not the Kraus sink will fit. Having shopped at Ikea a lot over the past 30 years, it's something I've come to dislike, intensely. However, please forward me the name of the cabinet and I'll try to sort out whether or not this sink will fit. We've been incredibly impressed with this sink - by far the best I've ever used or seen in a non-commercial kitchen (ours is very non-commercial, though I've cooked in many commercial kitchens).

I don't know the cabinet requirements as it does not state on the sink. We have ours installed in a 21" wide sink base cabinet, 18 might be too small. I don't know if it came with mounting clips as my counter installer took care of sink installation. It does not come with the drain assembly. It's a nice sink.

The sink with the under-mount flange is exactly 31.5 inches. I was able to mount the sink in my cabinet which is 32" wide. I had to cutout the top section of the cabinet in order to slide it in from right to left, so the answer is yes, but you will need to cut the top of the base cabinet to make it work. It was a little difficult for me and this is what I do on a regular basis. If you don't have any experience installing sinks, then I would say go with a smaller sink. Good luck and I hope this answered your question.

Thank you for your question. This is an over mount sink. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Mine is in a 24 inch cabinet but it is an undermount sink. It is quite nice.

We installed this on an existing base (or rather our contractor did)after cutting out an undermining sink and removing the false drawer panel. It fit perfectly and, for us, it solved the problem of what to do at the back of the sink because it fit all the way back to the backsplash. We did have to lower the doors on the base cabinet slightly, but this was not a problem. I would send a picture if I could figure out how to do it.

This 18-inch sink has a rough opening of 16 x 13. Here is a link to the Kraus installation PDF: http://www.kraususa.com/pdf/kbu-16.pdf There is also a CAD drawing available. The 18-inch reference is to the width of the sink flanges which will be covered in the undermount by your countertop material.

I also put with IKEA sink -I agree about the adaptation if parts - I also did not measure the diameter - just estimating - prob more like 2 inch

We also had a standard 36" sink base with a 33" inch sink. The new Kohler fit excellent. the false drawer front has to be removed along with top frame board of the cabinet. The sink is a full 36"s so it covers the entire front of the cabinet but the bowl area installs in a slot approximately 32" within the counter top and cabinet framework, so there is wiggle room for installation. We love the sink and have a garbage disposal attached to it as well with no sound issues. Kelly

I believe most people will undermount this sink, as we did; but I have seen pictures otherwise. Either way, do some research, particularly in how you might need to modify your cabinets to accomodate the installation of this type of sink.

I think I found them on Kohler's website. You can also just call Kohler and they should be able to email them to you. But this sink fits over a standard sink cabinet, there aren't any custom cabinets needed. Thats the beauty of it.

Hi Millie - it looks to me that the base cabinet for this sink will be suitable for the Kraus 33 inch farmhouse sink. The Ikea cabinet has an overall width of 35 7/8 inches, while the Kraus sink's overall width is 33 7/8 inches, resulting in a clearance of 3/8ths of an inch - or 3/16 of an inch on each side. The depth is ample for you to put in the faucet - we put in a Grohe 32 665 DCO faucet, which has been a real star. Good luck with the installation, Bill

My inset base width is about 31 1/2" and the width of my cabinet from the wall is 24 1/2". I pulled my old plywood base off the cabinet and put a new one on that was thicker and sturdier than the old one. That way I was able to cut the inset perfect to fit. The new base plywood was inexpensive and very glad I did it as I put new granite on top. Sink looks beautiful. Just use a little baby oil once a week to rub it down. We get a lot of compliments on it.

Undermount ... as others indicated you have to have a platform built for it. I LOVE it ... for some reason the photo I am seeing now on the screen is not the same sink as the one you asked for a review on ...
