When it comes to remodeling kitchens or bathrooms it has been found that undermount sinks are quite popular choice with most of the folks. Undermount sinks facilitate the dual benefits-first of hygiene, wherein they look clean, and second is the modern sleek appeal. Moreover they provide with easy maintenance feature, as the sink fits under the countertops. One can wipe off with ease any unwanted debris into the sink without the fear of the dirt and grime being accumulated or getting held between the sink and countertop lip.
It is recommended when considering an undermount sink that it would be ideal to use solid surface countertops (ideally granite and marble or any other stone). Countertops of other materials have a flip side to it. For example a laminate countertop would delaminate because of the water and moisture in the kitchens and bathrooms, eventually the countertop would bubble up.
Kitchen sinks can be chosen from the as single, double and triple bowl configuration options based on individual requirements. Bathroom sinks provide more options with sizes and shapes. Once the sink configuration and size is selected, the next major concern is to cut or drill the hole in the countertop. Each manufacturer has a specified process of fastening or assembling the sink to the countertop. The new sinks come with a template which helps in marking for the hole to be cut for fastening the sink to the countertop. There are countertop installers who provide tailor made cutting options for the countertops installations as required. Some manufacturers also have precut countertops, making the installation process simple and easy.
Enjoy the beauty of having an undermount sink.
