This is a quick call to anyone with an Astracast Bistro sit on sink as I need to put in my kitchen order today and cant find the answer online and too early to call Astrcast...
Can I fit my dishwasher directly under the drainer?
I know its a sit on sink so am not sure if the whole sink unit needs to go on top of a base unit or if it can be fitted with the drainer above the dishwasher?

TIA

The sink-and-a-half needs 600mm under it, so you will need the drainer plus a bit of wortop space. Mine has the sink on top of one unit, then a gap.

If yours is a single sink, look on the astracast website for dimensions.

P.s.

As there is no worktop under the sink it would be very difficult to have a gap that was half under sink and half under worktop.

I think you have got to give the sink its own unit with no appliance under.

Thanks Piglet I think you are right.
Back to plan B....

pps

I just went and measured mine, the sink-and-a-half are about 30 inches wide, plus the drainer, so I was wrong, a 600mm unit under the sink part would not be enough, even if you had something else supporting the drainer end

I must have been thinking of a different sink.

Hi a 'sit on' sink has to sit on a cabinet usually 500x1000 or 600x1000 there's no worktop under the sink ...
an 'inset' one can be just the bowls in a cabinet and the drainer over an appliance as it sits within the worktop. Bowl and a half needs min of 600 cabinet under bowls ... Hope that helps !

Thanks.
I really liked that sink but have given up on the idea as it didn't fit into the kitchen plan.
