If you’re looking to replace your kitchen sink, you’re probably doing some other remodeling work along with the sink replacement. When upgrading their kitchen, most people end up upgrading their countertops with granite, marble, or some other solid surface. The best type of sink to go with any of those surfaces is definitely an undermount sink.

If you have had recessed type sinks in the past, you know the major drawback associated with them. With a top mount, there is that edge where the sink overlaps the countertop. Even a well-mounted undermount sink will have at least one small seam and debris will collect there over time. Even if you’re a clean freak, it’ll be hard not to have to scrape from time to time to make sure the area is clean.

With an undermount sink, the mount is, well, under the cabinet, just like the name implies. The countertop rounds towards the sink and although there is a seam where they meet, that seam is basically on the inside of the sink and not along the countertop. So when you clean your countertops, any loose debris will go into the sink and you won’t have to negotiate seams and potholes along the way like you do with a top mount sink.

Appearance-wise, the undermount sink looks much more elegant and elegant. Most people choose a single throw faucet, so it reduces visible knobs on the countertop, and that’s helpful for a sleek look.

Stainless steel is by far the most popular material that undermount sinks are made of. There are a wide variety of options when it comes to materials, but stainless steel is popular because it looks good and is easy to keep clean. If you want to explore your options, take a look at undermount sinks made of copper, glass, or porcelain. You will quickly see the wide variety of sinks available. You can hardly find the perfect undermount sink for your kitchen if you just spend a little time looking for it.

One good thing about buying a sink is that you can do most of your work online and never have to leave your home. In fact, there are so many reputable vendors online these days that you can do both your selection process and the actual purchase online if you wish. Your new undermount sink will arrive in a few days and you are ready to enjoy your new kitchen sink!
