What is the difference between undermount and drop-in sinks?

Asked a year ago
Undermount and drop-in sinks differ in terms of installation and aesthetic appeal. Undermount sinks are mounted from underneath the countertop, creating a seamless and sleek look. They offer a clean and modern design, as the countertop edges are visible, making it easier to sweep debris into the sink. Undermount sinks also maximize countertop space, making it ideal for smaller kitchens. On the other hand, drop-in sinks are dropped into a pre-cut hole in the countertop, and the edges rest on top. They are easier to install and remove, making cleaning and maintenance simple. Drop-in sinks are available in various shapes and sizes, catering to individual style preferences. Ultimately, the choice between undermount and drop-in sinks depends on the desired appearance, function, and ease of installation and maintenance.
