What is the average height of a farmhouse apron sink in a kitchen?
To sum it up…the existing plumbed area, for the kitchen sink, is below a window. I am afraid it is not tall enough for average size cabinets. My idea for a solution to this problem, rather than change the window, is to custom build a cabinet for a farmhouse sink. Got any other ideas? The area is only 32″ in heighth before the window frame. Or….do I have big problems?
From floor to countertop in a kitchen should be 36″, 34 1/2″ for the cabinets & 1 1/2″ for a modern countertop (granite, quartz, solid surface). If you are “vertically challenged” you may be able to get away with a shorter height at the sink. But if you ever try to sell the home, it may turn some people off. You also have to consider how the countertop will interact with the farmhouse sink. You could have a shorter height run of cabinets below the window. If the sink base is 36″ wide, have 6 – 12″ of space on both sides of the sink that is also lower so that the counter could change in height gracefully. Also run the counter material along the 4″ cabinet sides on both sides of the exposed cabinets. It would be something like this: a 36″ wide x 20 1/2″ tall sink base, 2 – 6″ columns 30 1/2″ tall on both sides of sink. Your counter would finish out at about 32″ depending upon your countertop.
I suppose its possible to have just the sink base lowered, but depending upon how thick your countertop material is or will be you’d have to run it so that it overlaps the sides of the taller cabinets on both sides and then also run the counter material along the 4″ of exposed cabinet sides on top of the sides of the sink. You’d also have to have the counter material braced along the wall behind the sink.
Usually the countertop overlaps the back & sides of a farmhouse sink. We built a cabinet that was 24 13/16″ tall for a farmhouse sink recently. The sink was 10″ tall with a 3cm (or 1 3/16″) thick granite. This was for a standard 36″ height.
Or you might consider moving the plumbing.
