about underbench sinks and kitchen benches.....

Bec there has to be drainage!!!

I'm lost! Try again......

Your fine!!!

Now I know what you mean, but your right, most people not all, just go for the single sink now. I think they look more attractive when set in stone, than a sink that takes up a lot of the bench space.

COME BACK!!!!

We're all used to strange comments around here!
Those that make solid surfaces such as benchtops can cut drainage channels into these surfaces, providing drainage into a sink. Corian and similar agglomerate surfaces are often done this way. Not sure about granite & stone though.

Ash.

yes thanks

definately thinking bout those grooves

anyone just got the underbench sink and thats it? no drainer nothing
I see it so much in the mags! I think people must be very neat

I'd have to severely retrain my husband that used cups/plates etc
go IN the sink or preferably just IN the dishwasher

hes old school of putting water into everything and then just letting it sit
there....until I come along and pour water out and put INTO dishwasher!

Is that what you call old school???

I have another name for that!!!

I’m trying to think of a nice rely to that Bec…..but what can I say.

MEN!

Well, I am really old school (some might just say really old!)
and I wanted a double drainer sink which is much less common these days but I like a dedicated side each for wet dishes and dirty dishes, otherwise the dirty cups, dishes etc just get put on the benchtop. Our kitchen is a conventional U-shape and the sink is going under the window on the short side of the U, there is still lots of bench space, the breakfast bar is 4 m long.

Actually I am really really old school and I don't even like dishwashers. By the time you rinse the dishes, stack the dishes, wash items that can't go in dishwasher, sort out items behind other people (like Bec's husband), unstack the dishes, you might as well of just hand washed them.
But, hey, I said I was old - us hand washers are a dying breed

Good luck with your undermounted sink Bec and the re-training of your husband.

I am guessing you are a lot younger than me. I've been trying various husband re-training schemes over the past 20 years, with limited success I might add.

I mean, dirty clothes go in the laundry hamper, dirty dishes go in the sink etc etc.
Hey, at least your husband puts them in the sink, that's a start, I'm still finding coffee cups on lounge room floor, on the computer desk etc etc!!
