3 Kitchen Sink Installation Types

Top-mount sinks

Top-mount sinks, also known as built-in sinks or drop-in sinks are installed with the bordered edges resting on the kitchen countertop. Any type of counter can be compatible with a top-mount sink, from laminates to stainless steel.

The accentuated rim adds to the stylish design of the kitchen, however, it can also potentially cause nasty debris to be accumulated at the edges if you are not meticulous with cleaning.

Under-mount sink

Unlike top-mount sinks, an under-mount sink is installed under the kitchen countertop, giving the kitchen a seamless and visually spacious look.

Without any protruding bordered edges, an under-mount sink enhances the ease of cleaning, where any trace of food bits can be swept off the countertop and into the sink conveniently.

If you are installing an under-mount sink, make sure that your countertop is made of water-resistant and heavyweight material such as stone, quartz, or granite.

Flush-mount sink

With precise installation, a flush-mount sink is nicely integrated with the borders completely leveled with the countertop.

Flush-mount sinks get the best of both top-mount and under- mount sinks, with the sink and worktop coming together as one in bringing more countertop space to make full use of the accompanying sink accessories like a drainboard or colander.

Similar to under- mount sinks, flush-mount sinks also require a waterproof countertop like granite, stone, ceran, glass, or mineral materials.
