When installing a kitchen sink, there are three types of installations to consider:
Inset kitchen sink options can be used for all countertop options, including laminate. This involves the sink being inserted into the benchtop so the rim of the sink can be seen. Edge options include:
Rolled edge, found in more traditional sinks
Laser edge, found in more contemporary sinks
Undermount kitchen sink is an option that involves the sink being installed under the bench. This option is deal for stone countertop options. It also makes it easier to wipe messes directly into the sink and offers more counter space than other options.
Flushmount kitchen sink options are ideal for stone countertop options and offer a seamless join between the stone and steel of the sink.
