Hi,
On to the next project...
I bought a plastic/poly utility sink for my basement and would like to install it into a counter top like a typical kitchen or bathroom sink.
Super Poly Single laundry sink - MAAX
There is a lip around the perimeter so it should work fine. It has legs and is probably not designed to hang from the lip, so I will also make sure that there are spacers under the legs and that 90% of the weight is on the legs not the lip.
I've had these sinks before but they have always been free standing... and I've always wanted some flat surface to put stuff while using the sink... anything including paint brushes, drywall mud tools, wet dogs, cider carboys... and it would be great if there were no gaps around the edges of the sink. The counter top insert idea would be perfect.
My first thought was to just get a piece of 48" counter top and cut a hole for the sink. Problem is, most counter tops are not deep enough to accommodate a utility sink. So I need something that's a few inches deeper than a standard 25.5" kitchen counter top.
Need something that's water proof and inexpensive. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Doug
