How To Measure Kitchen Sink For Replacement

Before you go shopping for a new kitchen sink, it is important to take accurate measurements of your existing sink. This will ensure that you choose a sink that is the right size and shape for your kitchen. Here are the steps on how to measure a kitchen sink for replacement:

Turn off the water supply to your sink.

This is important for safety reasons, as you will be working with sharp objects. 2.

Remove any accessories from your sink.

This includes things like the faucet, soap dispenser, and drain strainer. 3.

Measure the length of your sink.

Do this by measuring from the inside edge of the left-hand bowl to the inside edge of the right-hand bowl. 4.

Measure the width of your sink.

Do this by measuring from the front edge of the sink to the back edge. 5.

Measure the depth of your sink.

Do this by measuring from the bottom of the sink to the top of the rim. 6.

Measure the thickness of your sink.

Do this by measuring the thickness of the sink flange (the lip that rests on the countertop). 7.

Draw a diagram of your sink.

This will help you to visualize the shape and size of your sink. 8.

Take your measurements to the store with you.

This will help you to find a new sink that is the right size and shape for your kitchen.

Here are some additional tips for measuring your kitchen sink:

• If your sink has an apron front, measure the length of the apron as well. Do this by measuring from the bottom of the apron to the top of the sink rim. • If your sink has a drainboard, measure the length and width of the drainboard as well. • If your sink is a corner sink, measure the length of both sides of the sink. • If you are replacing a sink that is mounted under the countertop, you will need to measure the size of the cabinet opening. Do this by measuring the length and width of the opening.

Once you have taken all of the necessary measurements, you can use this information to find the perfect replacement sink for your kitchen.
