What is the average height of a farmhouse apron sink in a kitchen?




To sum it up…the existing plumbed area, for the kitchen sink, is below a window. I am afraid it is not tall enough for average size cabinets. My idea for a solution to this problem, rather than change the window, is to custom build a cabinet for a farmhouse sink. Got any other ideas? The area is only 32″ in heighth before the window frame. Or….do I have big problems?

When we were re-doing our kitchen, we were told that the ideal sink height is one that suits the occupant, and hence the cupboard heights get adjusted accordingly. For instance, the sink height should be at the level where the one who uses the sink the most (maybe you) can put your hands into it and touch the base with your knuckles without bending over or bending the arms too much. this reduces back strain.

Also, many kitchen cabinets are height adjustable to suit various areas (and people’s heights), with legs under them that can be adjusted, and then are hidden with kickboards.

I hope this helps.
