Will this kitchen sink fit-100cm above 40 & 60 base cabinet?

[CoolHands]

The sink is 1000 mm wide. My cupboard is 400mm which would be under the drainer, followed by 600mm sink base cabinet where the bowl would sit. But would this actually fit? The drainer would be up against a wall so nothing I could do it it didn't quite fit!

I'm thinking I could fit the sink slightly to the right IYSWIM so the bowl is not actually central in the 600mm cabinet. Or will that look st?

plan of my kitchen:



dimensions:

Bowl Size: 435mm x 435mm x 180mm
Cut-Out Size: 980mm x 490mm (why is the cut out size so wide? - I didn't think you cut out the drainer??)





Alternatively if this doesn't fit they do do a sink that is 860mm wide in total (smaller bowl size - 350 wide) which I could use. I just wanted to try and get a full size bowl in there.

The cut out is that size to facilitate the fitting of the clips that hold the sink down onto the countertop.

You have 1200mm so yes, it will fit.

ETA - I read that as 800 and 400! I blame the wine

It might just about to in, but would look rubbish - get a smaller one!

That sink won't fit. It would also look bad with the drainer flush against the wall.

This one works...

yeah ok, thanks. I shall stay compact!

You could do a RH drainer over the washing mchine

[FlopperV60]

Switch the 600 & 400 base units around so the 600 sits against the wall then the 400 and washing machine.

Use a right hand drain sink like the one you have shown and install with the bowl tight to the right hand side gable of the sink base, this will give you some worktop left over between the sink and the left hand wall.

Oh I see what you mean. One reason I was slightly reluctant is there is a chimney breast that sticks out. However having measured it would give 46cm to stand in (ie between the sink and your back to the chimney breast) which is 'doable'. Here's some pics with your suggestion, & so you can see the chimney breast. thanks

(can't get a pic of the exact sink but this one is a similar size 900mm long, I think the FRANKE one above would leave a bit of worktop to the left, as you say)

A 1000 unit would have have been cheaper and easier than a 400&600.

gah!

How long can one man spend designing a kitchen....

(ps nothing bought yet but I have to do it this week. Current state below! Plasterers in Thursday so need to get walls up and ready by then)

[CoolHands]

had a look they (ikea) don't do a 1000 wide so this is,

an 80 (for sink) a 40 (washing machine), 60 (oven) 80 (drawers). That's all the space there is. I think this looks quite good.

That recess would infuriate me, especially as the sink is used so much. I think I'd go:

Washing machine - sink (draining board to left) - drawer unit - oven.

[CoolHands]

yeah used to have washing machine in corner. However to get it in / out you had to disassemble all other units, (as chimney breast prevented you pulling it forward), which was fun when it went wrong and I had to replace it. That's the only reason I haven't put it in the corner this time.

how it was:

I fitted a faktum Ikea kitchen a couple of years ago, I now believe they have changed the design a bit. However I got an 800 unit for the sink and the biggest sink that Ikea made fitted in it, with the drainer over the dishwasher.

[Simpo Two]

How about putting the fridge freezer in the corner instead of the washing machine?

[CoolHands]

fridgefreezer gone- now having two low separate units going under the 'island' coming out from the chimney breast to give more worktop. That didnt exist previously and lack of work surface was a problem.

[stuart313]

Do it the pistonheads way and take the chimney breast out.

[Vron]

The ikea planner wont let you put a sink in that wont fit.

[Little Lofty]

As the alcove isn't very deep I think I'd rather loose it and have an L shaped run of units, how big is the room?

[CoolHands]

4m wide out of shot (but that part is only 3.2 wide cos door cuts into the room) by 4.4 deep. But it is combined open plan living / dining room as flat in london so not much space. Didn't fancy L shape as I don't think would look as attractive as separating kitchen area with units and worktop as per pictures above,

edit here's pic to show size / shape of room




and looking from the kitchen towards the room
