dw-trash-sink question

10 years ago

I am working up a plan for a kitchen remodel at our vacation rental home. It will be IKEA. In my main home, I have a Blanco silgranit supersingle sink with the offset drain (on the right side), and a trash pullout on on the left side. My dw is to the right of the sink. That setup works great for me. I want to do a similar setup in the new kitchen, but the dw must be on the left side. I'm thinking this will be very awkward for cleanup. If I stand on the right and open the trash, I will have to close it every time I want to load something into the dishwasher. Does anyone have this setup and is it a problem for you?

One option would be to get a different sink with the drain on the left. I saw that Blanco has a new one called classic supersinge, but I'm not really liking the curve. See Blanco Classic which appears to be a Build.com exclusive.

Thoughts?

Is there a reason you can't spin the supersingle around?

Good question! I didn't think you could because the one I have has a lip on the back with a faucet hole. I thought I had seen another model before without the lip but couldn't find it - but another search just now and I found it! Duh. Thank you so much! So DW-sink-trash it is!

I don't know if you can flip it. When I read the little bit on the site, it says right installation only. I don't see why though... good luck

Boo-hoo! I didn't see that before, but I think its because the drain sits to the rear and if you flipped it the drain would be toward the front. Now what?? Back to the sink with the curve? Major bummer.

Will the dishwasher on the left be a major problem for right handed people? Or something you just need to get used to? Not that I really have a choice, but just wondering.

I have had both - no problem adjusting. The other sink looks quite nice and seems like a nice size.
