Will a Drop-In Farmhouse Sink Fit Your Cabinet?

Most drop-in farmhouse sinks fit standard 30-inch and 36-inch sink bases. Because the sink drops into the counter opening, you typically do not need custom cabinetry or structural support. Always confirm the cutout size and apron height against your existing cabinet before installation.

Topmount and drop-in farmhouse sinks follow a different installation process than traditional undermount styles. To understand cabinet preparation, reveal height, and sealing requirements, see our farmhouse sink installation guide before finalizing your sink selection.
