How to install a farmhouse apron sink. When installing your farm sink as an undermount option choose a cabinet that is 3 inches wider than your sink. When you want to install your farmhouse sink you need to cut out enough of that panel to fit your new sink. Farmhouse sink sizes dimensions. This allows for 1 5 inches on either side.
Measure if your new top is stone a countertop installer is going to measure the cabinets and sink to create a custom top. Your new cutout on the front of your cabinet should be deep enough that your sink will sit beneath the countertop. To retain as much usable cabinet space as possible we built the frame by screwing 2x4s right to the sides of the base cabinet. Unlike most kitchen sinks which drop into a hole cut in the countertop and are supported by the countertop and cabinets below an apron front sink slides into an opening or gap in a countertop and is supported by the base cabinet only.
This kept the framing from eating into the storage space below the sink.
