So I'm trying to install the Domsjo Double basin sink and the instructions for the cutout have me confused.

In short: Where should the bulk of the counter top end? Should it be flush with the inside of the Akurum base cabinet (and then the notches made) or should the counter top over hang the base 1.5 inches from the outside of the cabinet? (and then the notches are made)


I want to limit the amount of lifting we have to do to see if the sink fits.

Thanks

Hi Chris! I can't directly answer your question, but I can point you to the FAQ on installing the Domsjo. You might pick up a bit of info there. Here's the link: http://www.ikeafans.com/FAQInstallationDomsjo.htm

Hope that helps!

Yeah, I'd read that but no direct mention on where the countertop should be, just that it needs a cut out... Also the graphic on the page is a little hard to see since it uses a color so close to the background color.

The side of the countertop should be flush with the inside face of the sink cabinet, the front should be 1.5" proud of the cabinet and then cut the notches.

and to add, the notch, when cut, will also be flush with the front of the akurum base

Re: Domsjo sink installation - counter top question

Can I suggest that this info be added to the Domsjo installation article when it is moved over into the new article system? I had this same bit of confusion with the article, but this thread cleared it right up. Put them together and it will be magical. :-)
