corner sink question
 
Hi all.

I think it is more or less common practice to use a corner sink
cabinet with the dimensions of about 36 x 36 in. The door in such
cabinet should be about 17 in wide.

The question: is it possible at all to access pipes in such a
cabinet? Especially if a waste disposer is installed?

I am considering this setup, since it looks quite attractive in my
particular situation, but am afraid that it may turn out to be totally
not maintainable...

Thanks in advance for any input.

Try crawling under one at a showroom.

I had that in our last house. It was a not much different than a regular
sink door. It fit our kitchen well and was worthwhile, IMO.

Just a matter of personal opinion. I had a corner sink
one time and really didn't care for it. I felt kind of
cramped standing in front of it. I realize it may work
for you, but thought you should know that not everybody
cares for them.

Just to clarify: it was a _single_ 17 in door, right?

I just want to make sure we have the same cabinet in mind: it goes
about 1 foot on the each side of the angle, and the door is installed
on the diagonal, which makes a single 17in door.

Thanks,
Arkadiy

16 1/2 in. door to be exact
for a 36 in. corner cabinet
of course that depends on whether or not it is a framed or frameless
style cabinet.
full overlay doors or partial overlay doors.
clip on hinges work best for this type of cabinet so the plumber can
remove the door entirely to get full access in there.

yes everything is accessible.
