SinkSpanner

Wide, square-ish, and off-center

Farmhouse basins are bigger than a standard sink and shaped nothing like the sinks accessories are designed for — wider rims, corners closer to square, and a drain that's often set back rather than centered.

Shape changes the problem

A generic caddy is built for a standard-width rim and a centered drain. Farmhouse rims are wider, so a caddy sized for a normal sink either doesn't reach or sits loose on the edge.

The corners are close to square, so a caddy designed for a rounded rim leaves a gap or overhangs the edge — the deck follows your rim's actual shape instead, square corners included. And the drain is often offset toward the back, which means a fall line built for a centered drain runs the wrong way and pools instead of clearing.

Both are things a scan resolves before anything is made.

What the scan gets right here

  • Rim width

    Apron-front rims are wider than a standard sink's. The deck is drawn from yours, so the hook reaches the edge instead of stopping short of it.

  • Square-ish corners

    A caddy shaped for a rounded rim either gaps or overhangs on a farmhouse basin. The deck follows the corners you actually have.

  • Off-center drain

    Farmhouse drains often sit toward the back. The fall runs to where yours is, not to the middle by default.

Farmhouse questions

My sink is fireclay — does that matter?
No — the scan reads your rim's shape from LiDAR regardless of what the sink is made of.
Can it span the whole basin?
It can follow as much of your rim as you want covered. Most people leave the working part of the basin clear so there's still room to wash a roasting tin.
Will it scratch the glaze?
We haven't tested that, so we won't claim it either way. If glaze safety matters to you, wait until we can back it up.
Does my phone need LiDAR?
Yes — scanning needs an iPhone with LiDAR. Without it there's no rim to detect, so there's nothing to build the fit from.
Is a double-bowl farmhouse sink supported?
Not yet. The scan assumes one basin and one drain; a divided farmhouse sink isn't handled correctly today.
