More Details
Points to consider:
. Space and location in the kitchen are largely influenced by plumbing
requirements.
. To select a sink which complies with AS1428.1-1993 to allow access to the sink by a wheelchair user, the important consideration is
the bowl depth, which should be a maximum of 150 mm.
. If the sink is set into the bench at the suggested height of 850 mm + or - 20 mm, the outlets installed to the rear of the area under the sink and a cupboard not installed under the sink, then wheelchair access is possible. It is advisable to insulate piping and the underside of sink to prevent burns to the legs.
. Taps should be easily reached and controlled, so that when purchasing the sink, tap style and position should be considered. Taps can be located at the side of sink as an alternative to rear placement.
. Cost to purchase and install.
. Warranty length and conditions.
