But this one was slightly different. or at least their comment was though our replies are repeats. maybe it's us. Re: Double Bowl Double Drain Sinks 14Apr 01, 2009 12:40 pm I think this is a myth, they are easy to find. Especially if you don't need it to be branded. I got mine from here http://www.renovationd.com.au/index.php ... cPath=5_25 Had to opt for the smaller one as we live in an apartment with a small kitchen. Re: Double Bowl Double Drain Sinks 15Apr 01, 2009 12:48 pm I like the double sided ones as I hate dirty dishes on my bench top, true, you do loose alot of bench space and if it was stone it is a waste.I have a double sink but one of them is just a half size..but only one side ! I hate it.. If I had the room I'd put in a double sink double basin anytime, it does all depend on the size of your kitchen. I'd go for a smaller sized one tho..if you have big pots, just wash them in the laundry...lol Re: Double Bowl Double Drain Sinks 16Apr 01, 2009 1:09 pm I'm used to using a single drain, but double bowl (well, 1 full sized, and 1 3/4 sized). In our temp accom now, there is one drainer, and one bowl I hate it!!! The kitchen is so small, there is hardly any bench space anyway, but all the pots/pans do not fit on the drainer, and have to dry on the stove top ****** on a T-towel! In my old place, I used to just dry the larger things in the second bowl (I'm not very good at drying dishes!). I also find it a pain if you've filled up the one and only sink full of soapy water to wash the dishes, but you've forgotten to empty out the kids juice bottle. Great if you have two bowls, a pain if you don't! I also like to rinse my clean dishes as they are 99.9% air dried, and perfect to do in the second bowl, while still in the middle of washing the rest. My double bowls were used everyday. ozkarnak I Sure if I was a systematic person I could perhaps incorporate the extra sink into a cleaning flowchart that would be logical, but for that to work I would have to train the other people in my life on how to use it, and of all the things it would be handy to train men and children to do, a washing up system wouldn't be the top one.

I've had my eye on this sink http://www.smartpackkit.com.au/Content_ ... _sink8.seo and was hoping they could drill an extra hole so i can have 2 taps. I need one for hand washing as per council regulations for a small cake business i want to run. Does anyone think I could have 2 taps with this sink - like one in the middle and anther to either the left or the right? I dont want a big sink with drainer, my benchtops are expensive enough with caesarstone, rather show that off! ta Re: Double Bowl Double Drain Sinks 19Apr 11, 2009 9:38 pm My sink has two outer bowls that are 229mm deep whilst the smaller bowl in the centre is 152.4mm. I prefer deeper for bigger trays / pans / woks etc but at the end of the day 2-3cm isn't really going to make much difference. The sink you showed didn't actually have any tap holes in it - do they come with tap holes or do you mount your tap through the benchtop? If it was through the benchtop then you could have a second tap without any problems. In saying that this home we are renting has a normal sink with a mixer tap in the centre then on the side a filtered water tap - which could quite easily be another normal tap for your hand washing. Some things are worth waiting for.

Gosh your sinks are deep Kyton! I have searched my little heart out on the internet (cause I've broken my foot and can't get out there to look!) and cannot find a double bowl sink with no drainer deeper than 180mm. If someone can point me to a double bowl (not round) sink 200mm or more i'd be happy! ta Hi, We're building a double-storey in Perth and I'm undecided with the kitchen sink situation. I'm set on having the main sink with dishwasher in the scullery - and… 0 21059 Yeah mine about 9 metres long and 8 wide with slope of 25% at one point but the end point of the outlet is past the side of garage and if he concretes allowing for… 4 4582 Agreed. I just found out today the certifier has not given the final sign off. 2 4131 |
