Undermount Sink
A sink installed beneath the countertop with the rim attached to the underside of the counter, creating a seamless edge where the countertop material meets the sink opening. Undermount sinks provide a clean, modern appearance, make countertop cleanup easier (crumbs sweep directly into the sink), and showcase the countertop edge profile. They require a solid countertop material like granite, quartz, or solid surface — not laminate.
