Farmhouse Sinks
I had some email exchange with Clayton before, and he had suggested that before I order the 2 door cabinet for my farmhouse sink, that I buy it and measure it. I ended up getting the Ruvati 23″ sink (https://www.ruvati.com/products/ruvati-23-inch-fireclay-farmhouse-kitchen-laundry-utility-sink-single-bowl-white-rvl2468wh/), and it is exactly 23″ wide. I was just going to get a lowered 2 door sink cabinet to put it on top of and flank it with the cabinets on the side.
Should I but an exactly 23″ wide cabinet or do you think I should get a 23.25″ so there is a little bit of space? Thank you – I think this is the truly the last question I had before I can order everything.

For handcrafted sinks, we recommend leaving a little extra space so you can caulk the face of the sink to the sides of the cabinets. This provides some flexibility for any minor variations that may occur during the sink’s design and manufacturing process.
This sink appears to be handmade, so I would personally leave a 1/8″ gap on each side as a precaution.
That said, if the sink is mass-produced, such as a standard stainless steel sink, you can typically use the exact dimensions without leaving additional clearance.
