Sink Deal - Inset and Undermount Sinks

Helpful Tips

Inset Sinks

Probably the most common type of sink, inset designs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and are fixed in place with the rim of the sink and drainer overlapping the worktop. They can be fitted into a surface made from any material and are, therefore, an extremely flexible option. Effectively sealing the space between sink and counter top, they work particularly well with Formica or wood finishes, which can be vulnerable to moisture.

Undermount Sinks

Undermounted sinks are ideal for use with all types of solid surfaces including wood, stone, Corian and glass. The bowl is fixed in place underneath the kitchen counter, giving a really smart, modern look. 'Fitting an inset sink into a beautiful granite worksurface would be a wasted opportunity when you could have a sleek, undermounted sink,' says Lawrence Pigeon. 'They are also cleaner, as any spills or crumbs can be wiped straight into the bowl without getting stuck at the rim. Bear in mind, though, that they can't be used with laminate worktops.'
