Before purchasing a reputable kitchen product such as a sink or kitchen mixer, it is worth consulting with your interior designer or plumber to check whether the product specifications suit your kitchen. When in doubt, ask your local kitchen expert at Cass Brothers Petersham or Waverley to do the leg work for you in offering a high quality kitchen shopping experience from start to finish.
