Kitchen sink

mrcheez

It seems to be quite hard to find sinks quickly by using required dimensions.

I have a requirement for a 1 bowl inset aluminium sink with following dimensions:

- Plate of 500mm x 950mm exactly
- Bowl dimensions of at least 400mm x 450mm


Not having much luck apart from this one:
https://www.tapsuk.com/blanco-tipo-xl-6s-10-bowl-stainless-steel-kitchen-sink-p25036

which looks ok, but just want to compare prices with others.

Any quick way of finding these? Google seems to be mainly returning sites with 500mm x 1000mm plates which appears to be the norm nowadays.

Aluminium is a pretty unusual material for a sink, I'd be of the opinion that there probably won't be many sinks in that material and finding a specific size would be extremely difficult if not impossible. You may have to get a custom one made.

sorry meant stainless steel.

Anyone find any other single bowl ones with overall size of 950 x 500 and bowl of at least 40 x 45?

My Google-fu is failing me :mad:

In-house in Ireland doing that sink for €227 including a blanco tap.
Postage for the uk could be severe

No overflow on that sink?

I'm getting other items delivered from the UK via courier so have added this in (I have the tap etc)

It looks like it's the only sink with these measurements in this price range...

Is it a bit unusual not to have an overflow?

It does. The image is without the cutouts.

Another website says in the specs that it has gone. Maybe they mean no plumbing for overflow

Dunno, I don't fill up a sink anyway so no odds for me

On the very few occasions when I've accidentally left a tap running in a sink, it's overflowed anyway, overflow or not. They're generally quite undersized and also tend to get a bit bunged up with gunk around the area where the overflow meets the main outlet anyway.

Just did a search for this topic and apparently some places in the US actually prohibit overflows on kitchen sinks... Maybe it's because it is a prime location for fungus to grow?

Anyway considering the size of the sink it would take an awful of water to overflow, not to mention the whole downstairs of the house is tile-on-concrete so no floor-damage risk.
