Product Information

Style and design: Consider the overall design theme of your kitchen and choose a sink that complements it. Look for a sink design that matches your personal style, whether it's sleek and modern, farmhouse-inspired, or traditional. And the basin is lined with sound-deadening materials to minimize noise and vibration. An off-set drain placement creates more usable space for soaking and washing dishes. Rust spots and discoloration may occur within a short period of time. The possibility of rust spots tend to occur around the bottom grids (which are included), so it's probably best to give it a good cleaning on a regular basis. Some people find it difficult to maintain top craftsmanship on an undermount kitchen sink. This is because water can get into the gap between the sink and the counter if there is no perfect seal. Drop-in and Undermount Kitchen Sink Cost The deeper nature of an undermount sink makes it easy to clean large pots and pans. Undermount Kitchen Sink Cons

Overmount sinks are appropriate for any material countertop, as the the lip of the sink covers the countertop edge entirely, preventing any moisture from reaching the counter material. Undermount sinks have that name because they sit under the counter, so that the the edge of the sink is below the level of the countertop. There are three types of undermount sink installation. Also called top-mount or drop-in sinks, overmount sinks have a lip that sits above, and covers a small area of, the countertop. They also have both pros and cons. This is an example of an overmount, stainless steel, double bowl sink. Pros: Thanks to its dual mount design, the Elkay Avenue can be installed as a drop-in or undermount sink. It comes with three holes for mounting a faucet and other accessories. When installed as drop-in, the flat rim practically eliminates the barrier between the sink and countertop. This single-basin sink has an extra-deep bowl to accommodate larger cookware. It’s made of 18-gauge stainless for lasting strength and durability. Slightly rounded corners give this sink a sleek and stylish appearance, and make it easier to clean. Although the sink has a flat bottom, no drainage issues have been reported.

Coordinating towels and linens: Select coordinating hand towels, dish towels, or washcloths that complement the sink area. We personally love choosing colours and patterns that tie in with the overall theme of your kitchen or bathroom.
