Butler sink installation

blushingbride_3

Hi everyone

I am rearranging my utility room with a new freezer & want to install a butler sink with wooden worktops.
I can get the worktop pre-cut etc online so that's not an issue.

Now i am going to make a frame to sit the sink on.

One thing i dont know is am i going to need special plumbing fixings for the butler sink or can i use the general plastic ones?

Is there anything else i need to consider when installing a butler?

thanks

Yes. Make sure you use a good quality wood worktop that has been properly oiled and be prepared to sand and oil it down from time to time. Butler sinks have a tendency to allow mold to grow under the overhang of the sink.

A well oiled worktop reduces the frequency of the sanding/oiling. Wipe down the worktop and do not allow water to stand. Keep the overhang area above the sink and dry as possible.

thanks! i'm thinking of ordering from here: http://www.worktop-express.co.uk/

Will pay for them to be pre oiled and will then look after them

you will need one of these, as apposed to a combined sink waste and overflow.
