    Where is the best place for a kitchen sink drain hole?
    Your opinion please: where is the best place for a kitchen sink drain hole: center, center back, left back or right back?

    Center is easier to hookup the drains than center back.

    Hi all: As Chayn recommended, the center drain is usually the easiest install. I'd say all situations are reasonable installs EXCEPT the center back as these tend to be a problem when installing a disposal unit. However, it really depends on the location of the drain pipe to make the best choice. Right or left side drain will work with almost any setup, etc...

    Let us know if you want to discuss more.

    How deep should the kitchen sink be?
    I have recently come across kitchen sinks that range in depth from 8" to 12"! I have narrowed my choices to 8, 9 or 9.5. I am 5'5" and the stone counter tops are 2cm or 3/4". Any advice would be appreciated.

    Something to consider... Since it's a kitchen sink... you don't want the shallow ones because nothing will fit in them. And you really don't need the deepest ones either unless you have a big family and do a LOT of cooking. Other than that... it really is about personal choice. I'd go with the deeper end of your range assuming the styles you like best are available in those depths.

    The stainless steel sinks we have installed in our projects measure 6" deep. 8" should be fine for you.
    Good luck, Tom

    Lucy,
    A center drain hole is strandard in single and double compartment sinks. Good luck in whatever you choose. Tom
