can you put other fittings in a kitchen?

Hi

Still on the hunt for the perfect kitchen-its soooo hard! We went to Howdens today, and it seems ok, and we have a couple of other appointments to go to.

What I was wondering is-Howdens have a pull out 3 section recycling bin unit that fits in a 300mm cupboard, which we are planning on having in a 600mm cupboard. If we end up getting a kitchen from somewhere else, and they don't have something like this-would the one from Howdens fit into any carcass?

Thanks :)

    To be honest, most places will do something very similar to what Howdens are selling. However, if that is the one you want, then 99% of the time it will be able to be retro-fitted into any carcase.

    Although, you'll probably find something even better here: http://www.wesco-bin.co.uk/

    I'd guess what Howdens do is by Wesco, but you can generally get more directly from Wesco.
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Thank you, will look through that now :)
    The one that I wanted was 3x 10l bins in a 30cm space. The Howdens designer said that could be fitted in a 60cm sink cupboard with a hinged door. The independent we went to today (who did a great design, and a great price, and unless Keller blow them out of the water we will probably use) said all their bins can't go in a sink cupboard (they need a 60cm dedicated cupboard)
    We have a freestanding 3x 10l bin, but I like the idea of it being hidden... But then I think of the extra space lol....

    Just in case anyone has a Howdens catalogue-its HYH1557 that i want :)

    I found this can it go into a 60cm wide, sink cupboard and still leave enough room for plumbing, and hopefully a shelf?
    Thanks :)
  • Just a shameless bump-but-as we have ordered kitchen-will this work in a 600mm cupboard, with a shelf just above it/below the sink?
