Newage Pro cabinet as a sink base?

[cmarcusatl]

Long time lurker here so let me start by saying thanks to the GJ community for all the helpful information posted here.

I'm at the point of choosing cabinets (metal) and it's a challenge figuring out how to incorporate a utility sink into a nice bank of cabinets. I'd like it to be visually seamless which for me means having the sink set in a cabinet. Here's my idea and I'd greatly appreciate any feedback from NewAge cabinet owners:

• Base cabinets are going to be NewAge Pro 3.0 and wall mounted for the free floating effect (and easier cleaning of the floor).
• I found a few sink candidates that are 22"x25" and ~12" deep.
• The sink cutout fits nicely within the top dimensions of the cabinet so I am going to cut out the metal in the top of the cabinet. Then attach a wooden top (secured via screws going through what metal is left in the top of the cabinet) which will also have the sink footprint cut out of it. The wooden top will get a few coats of marine varnish for water protection.
• The sink is self ******* so it will drop right in onto a bead of silicone.
• Since my plumbing connections are somewhat low on the wall, I may need to either remove the center shelf or cut a 'U' out of the rear center of the shelf.

I'm somewhat concerned about the integrity of the cabinet after removing a large portion of the metal on top. However, between the wall mounting and having a rigid top, I think it will be fine. Anyone agree or am I just trying to convince myself?

If anyone has one of these base cabinets, do you think the sliding shelf could have a chunk cut of out the back in the center and still be functional? Or would I be better off just removing it all together?

Thanks again for the helpful info posted that has gotten me much closer to a well organized garage. If I can pull this off, I'll gladly share some pics of each step of the process. The biggest and most time consuming challenge will be convincing my wife that my four figure garage organization plan will make her much happier when she pulls in the garage every day.

Sorry no help on the actual question but show her pics of my garage and explain that 4 figure organization system allows her a spot to pull in. I have a 2 car garage with no space for cars lol.

Good luck, also from just reading your plan i bet it will hold together. Worst case scenario it will turn into an excuse to buy/use a welder and beef up the metal until it does work.

That will be an expensive vanity, but it will work.
Just don't put a lot of weight on that bottom shelf.
(You may want to put a 1/2 inch angle iron stiffener across the bottom.)

It's been quite some time since my original post, but I was able to successfully get a sink into a NewAge Pro 3.0 base cabinet. It took some doing, but it turned out great. I've got some pics below.

If anyone is interested in doing the same, I shot a video as well:

Where did you find the sink ? That set up is perfect

 

[cmarcusatl]

I found the sink on Amazon. It's the Mustee 25TW Vector Multi Task Sink. I haven't used it much since I just installed it, but so far it seems great.

 

[gasserdan]

looks great.

Timely post. I am looking to do the same, same cabinets but thinking of floor mounting

NewAge is bringing on a couple of new cabinets in the Pro 3.0 series. The sink base cabinet has an integrated Stainless Steel Sink and Faucet that includes a garden hose attachment for the faucet.

The tall wall cabinet is 32-1/4" tall 28" wide and 14" deep. That's another 4-1/4 inches taller than the standard wall cabinet.

The mobile locker is built to fit inside the tall locker, it's 60" tall 28" wide and 22" deep. The mobile locker will take up the same footprint as a base cabinet which also has a 28" wide by 22" deep base.

Ooo that looks nice. Might have to upgrade my garage bath sink. Can you shoot me a price on one if you have the info?

Thanks

These aren't coming out till Mayish. I don't have any pricing information yet as soon as that's available, they will be available for purchasing on our website, ShopStorageCabinets.com.

Then there should be a Pre-Order Special! I'll happily pay now to get my name in line for delivery!

I think that if you are using a thick wood top there would be no issue with cutting out the metal top.

I use the New Age Performance Plus cabinets and I believe they are lower gauge than pro. I wouldn't be worried about integrity of those either.

 

[dittle fart around]

If I knew how much to charge I'd take your money. I'm guessing with a one piece stainless steel sink and faucet plus the 375 retail price of a base cabinet, they would be asking closer to 600 at retail.

But that's a right out of the blue price. Don't quote me on that.

Any update on the cabinet base?
