How to Install an Undermount Sink

[last_updated_date]

Sinks can make an immediate statement about the style and quality of your kitchen or bathroom. From their appearance to how often guests notice it when entering, sinks are one of the first things guests notice upon entering any room. With many choices for sinks available to choose from, finding one that complements your personality and style should not be a difficult feat - one great choice would be an undermount sink, which adds sleek modernism and could increase resale value by drawing attention away from solid-body countertops in any space or simply increasing resale value by upping resale value by up to 50% is easy with many undermount options available today - don't settle!

Undermount sinks tend to be more expensive than their drop-in counterparts, but they offer many advantages that make the additional investment worth while. Undermounts tend to be more durable and can withstand heavier objects being placed inside them than traditional drop-in models; plus they boast cleaner lines and polished surfaces which will add modern style and flair.

Undermount sinks offer another great advantage, in that they're easier to keep clean than traditional models due to a lack of lip at the edge that collects debris like food crumbs and dirt. Furthermore, using an undermount sink makes wiping down counters much simpler without risking water getting on laminate surfaces underneath it.

Undermount sinks offer the added advantage of being available in various colors to complement any countertop material, even black for an edgier vibe that pairs nicely with many styles and looks. When selecting an undermount sink made from quality material it should last you many years!

Installing an undermount sink requires additional steps in the installation process. For starters, you will need to properly support and caulk it against leaks before drilling holes into your granite counters before you can attach the sink.

Purchase an undermount sink-specific faucet. As this sink will be attached beneath your counter, a faucet capable of handling its increased weight will be necessary.

Selecting an undermount sink that complements your countertops can significantly impact the aesthetic and atmosphere of your kitchen or bathroom, and should be constructed from quality materials for long-term durability and use. Professional installation should always be utilized; otherwise it could result in major headaches in the form of plumbing leaks down the line. If you need help choosing your perfect model online resources can also offer invaluable guidance!
