Systems and methods for modular sink with rapid installation

Abstract

Systems and methods for rapid installation of modular sinks into cabinetry are described. In an embodiment, a sink system includes a sink basin including a rim sized and dimensioned to extend from a back surface of a countertop of the cabinet system to beyond a front surface of the countertop. At least a portion of the sink basin is sized and dimensioned to fit between a first cut extending from the back surface of the countertop to the front surface of the countertop and a second cut extending from the back surface of the countertop to the front surface of the countertop. The sink basin includes a front portion angled downward from the rim to cover at least a portion of the front surface of the countertop. The sink basin including a lip extending outwardly from a bottom portion of the front portion.

1 . A method of installing a modular sink system into a cabinet system, comprising:
 cutting a first cut into a countertop of a cabinet system, the first cut extending from a front surface of the countertop to a back surface of the countertop;   cutting a second cut into the countertop, the second cut extending from the front surface of the countertop to the back surface of the countertop, the second cut spaced apart from the first cut;   removing a portion of the countertop defined between the first cut and the second cut to form an aperture in the countertop;   introducing a sink basin of a modular sink system into the aperture, the sink basin supported by a rim interacting with the countertop at the first cut and the second cut; and   overlapping the front surface of the countertop with a front portion angled downward from the rim to cover at least a portion of the front surface of the countertop, the front portion including a lip extending outwardly from a bottom portion of the front portion to interface with a bottom surface of the countertop adjacent the front surface.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first cut or the second cut is a substantially straight line. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first cut or the second cut is a substantially straight line. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first cut and the second cut are substantially parallel. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the front portion includes an extension configured to cover at least a portion of the cabinet system beneath the front surface of the countertop, and wherein the front portion includes at least one tab extending along a side edge of the extension in a direction towards the sink basin. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the at least one tab is spaced from the rim portion by a gap sized and dimensioned to receive the front surface of the countertop. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the rim includes a clip projecting from a bottom surface of the rim, the clip configured to interface with the countertop at one of the first cut or the second cut. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the clip includes an angled portion extending upwardly from a portion of the clip, the angled portion configured to interface with an edge of the countertop during introduction of the sink basin into the aperture. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the rim includes an adhesive strip coupled to a bottom surface of the rim. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the modular sink system includes at least one of a drain coupled to the sink basin or a faucet coupled to the rim.
