Sometimes, the home owner buys a sink for their countertop because their countertop fabricator told them they need one. But many of them don’t know what an under mount sink or drop in sink really is. So they buy a wrong style sink.
The following, we will let you know what the difference is between the under mount sinks and drop in sinks.
The easiest way to tell if a sink is an under mount sink is if it's hanging underneath the countertop. The sink will not have a lip sitting on the countertop. You will also be able to see the edge of the counter in the hole cut for the sink. Most of the time, an under mount sink will not have holes at the back for the faucet to mount to. Instead of mounting to the sink, the faucet will sit on the countertops behind the hole cut for the sink. The rims of the cut out will be ask for polished for the under mount sinks, but drop in sinks needn’t. Please see the following.
Notice Symbol Sink sells all kinds of the stainless steel sinks, especially the 18 or 16 gauge sinks made of solid 304 series stainless steel.
