Quick answer: Measure the inside width of your sink cabinet, then choose a sink that is smaller than that width. Give the sink's counter cut-out size to your stone cutter before the counter is made. YUWO sinks come in 54, 64, 75, 76, 81, 90 and 92 cm, and the best seller is the 76 cm undermount set. Not sure? Send us a photo of your cabinet and counter and we'll help you choose.
A kitchen sink (lababo) that doesn't fit is an expensive mistake: the stone has to be re-cut or replaced. Getting it right takes a measuring tape, 4 numbers and about 5 minutes. This guide shows you where to measure, which YUWO size fits your cabinet, and when to decide.
How do I measure for a kitchen sink?
You need a measuring tape and these 4 numbers:
- Inside width of the sink cabinet (A). Measure from the inside of one cabinet wall to the other. The sink sits inside this space, so it must be smaller than this number.
- Depth of the counter (B). Measure from the front edge of the counter to the wall. Many kitchen counters are about 60 cm deep. YUWO sinks measure 43 to 51.5 cm from front to back.
- Room for the faucet (C). For an undermount sink, the faucet hole is drilled in the counter behind the sink, so leave space there. For a topmount sink, the faucet hole is already in the sink.
- Counter cut-out. This is the hole your stone cutter makes. Each YUWO sink has its own cut-out size (see the table below), and the set comes with a cutting template.
Measure twice, in centimeters, and write the numbers down. Take a photo of the cabinet with the tape measure showing. It makes it easy for us to help you on Messenger.

Prices are cash prices, ₱6,000 off the original price. The 54, 64 and 76 cm undermount sets are on pre-order, arriving the 2nd week of December.
For example, the YUWO 76 cm undermount sink set measures 76 × 46 × 23 cm and needs a counter cut-out of 720 × 420 mm.
Will it fit my cabinet?
Compare your cabinet's inside width (A) with this table. An undermount sink sits fully inside the cabinet. A topmount sink's rim rests on the counter, so only the bowl (the cut-out) has to fit inside.
| Sink | Cabinet inside width needed (more than) |
|---|---|
| 54 cm undermount | 54 cm |
| 64 cm undermount | 64 cm |
| 76 cm undermount | 76 cm |
| 76 cm topmount or undermount | 73 cm as topmount · 76 cm as undermount |
| 75 cm workstation (topmount) | 72 cm |
| 81 cm workstation (topmount) | 78.2 cm |
| 90 cm Ultimate workstation (undermount) | 90 cm |
| 92 cm Ultimate workstation (topmount) | 89 cm |
Leave a little extra room for fittings, and let your installer confirm before the stone is cut.
Which size is right for me?
- Small kitchen, condo or a second "dirty kitchen": the 54 cm or 64 cm sink set. Compact, but still 23 cm deep for pots.
- Family kitchens: the 76 cm sink set, our best seller. Room for big pots and woks, and it comes with a small basin and sink grid.
- Little counter space, lots of cooking: a workstation sink (75 to 92 cm). The chopping board, basket and grid sit on a ledge inside the sink, so you prep over the sink and keep the counter free.
What does sink depth mean for daily use?
Depth is how deep the bowl is. YUWO sink sets are 23 cm deep and workstation sinks are 22 cm deep. A deep bowl fits big pots and keeps splashing inside the sink. Kasya ang kaldero at kawali.
When should I choose my sink?
Choose your sink before the cabinet and stone are made. Your cabinet maker and stone cutter need the exact sink size. If they cut first, you may have to redo the stone. The right order:
- Choose your sink early, once the house structure is up.
- Give the measurements to your cabinet maker and stone cutter.
- Cabinet and stone are made to fit the exact size.
- Install the sink last. Your installer traces the template in the box.

Sink set or workstation sink?
A sink set is the classic choice. It comes with a chopping board, drain basket, drain, fittings and hoses, and you choose: sink only, with a 304 stainless pull-out faucet, or with a solid brass pull-out faucet.
A workstation sink has a ledge inside for the chopping board, basket and grid, so you can wash, cut and drain in one place. It comes with a solid brass pull-out faucet.
Every YUWO sink is brand-new, real 304 stainless steel. You order first and pay after we call to confirm. Compare all prices in our kitchen sink price guide.
Common questions
What size sink fits a 60 cm cabinet?
A 60 cm cabinet is usually about 56 cm inside (with 18 mm boards). Of our sinks, the 54 cm undermount set is the one to check. The room is tight, so measure the inside width and let your installer confirm.
What size sink fits a 90 cm cabinet?
A 90 cm cabinet is usually about 86 cm inside. That fits the 54, 64 and 76 cm sink sets and the 75 and 81 cm workstation sinks. Measure the inside width to be sure.
Anong size ng lababo ang bagay sa kitchen ko?
Sukatin ang loob ng cabinet sa ilalim ng lababo. Pumili ng sink na mas maliit doon. Hindi sigurado? I-message sa amin ang picture ng cabinet mo, kasama ang tape measure, at tutulungan ka naming pumili.
What if my counter already has a hole?
Measure the hole (length and width, in mm) and compare it with the cut-out sizes above. A topmount sink's rim covers the edge, so it is more forgiving. Send us the numbers and a photo and we'll check.
Is a bigger sink always better?
No. A bigger sink leaves less counter space for cooking. If your counter is short, a workstation sink gives you a bigger sink without losing prep space, because you cut and drain on top of it.
What is a counter cut-out?
It is the hole cut in your counter for the sink. Each sink needs its own exact size. Every YUWO set comes with a cutting template your stone cutter can trace.
Can a sink be installed flush with the counter?
Yes. All YUWO sinks can be installed flush. Ask your installer first if they can do it.
