Sink covers look nice but are nearly useless when preparing food because they totally eliminate access to the sink. Cutting larger sink covers in half will allow the cook access to the sink without sacrificing all the surface area plus actually extend the countertop work area—a definite win-win!

Composite covers can be cut using any saw with a carbide blade. Use a file to round the edges. After cutting, the two pieces will continue to totally cover the sink if needed, look exactly the same when traveling, and since each piece is smaller, they are easier to remove and handle.

A second reason for cutting the cover is that this will allow you to place a dish drainer on the edge of the sink and the water will drip in the same sink. Think of this arrangement as access to 1.5 sinks.
