Farmhouse sinks are heavy, especially when filled with water and dishes. The sink should rest on structural framing or a manufacturer-approved support system rather than hanging from the countertop. The cabinet front usually requires modification, and the sink height must coordinate with doors and plumbing. Reveal style, corner radius, faucet placement, and countertop seams should be planned before fabrication.
Key considerations
- structural support
- water resistance
- cutout durability
- apron front
- custom cabinet
- multiple reveal styles
