Farmhouse Sink Installation
6 years ago
Everything I have read states that a farmhouse sink (at least cast iron) should be reinforced underneath the cabinet. Carpenter installed mine today and said it’s fine because it’s sitting on the cabinet base. He said he installs sinks this way all the time and has never had one fall through. Is this safe or should I have him come back and do some type of reinforcement? The sink weighs 116 lbs.
