Your sink is also an important expression of your decor which is why our sink collection is vast and varied. Classic, contemporary, stainless steel, composite, ceramic plus varied shapes, colors, and sizes, too. The right sink configured in the right way is also a critical component of a durable stone countertop. At Hard Rock Stone Works, we use a lock secure mounting system and offer a lifetime of chip repair to keep your new sink and countertop beautiful and strong.
TOP MOUNT VS. UNDERMOUNT
A top mount sink has a visible lip around the perimeter that rests flat on the counter. An undermount sink installs from below the counter and features a hidden rim. For the strongest countertop, an under- mount sink is our recommended choice.
6 REASONS TO CHOOSE AN UNDERMOUNT SINK.
1. STRONGER COUNTERTOPS.
The undermount installation using our lock secure mounting system protects the vulnerable sink cut-out area by transferring weight to the cabinet.
2. ELEGANT, MODERN.
Undermount sinks are beautifully streamlined and the preference of most homeowners. Top mount sinks are dated and rarely used.
3. EASY TO CLEAN.
An undermount sink doesn’t trap crumbs or grime, it’s a smooth sweep to the sink bowl.
4. HIGHER QUALITY.
The popularity of undermount sinks means they’re readily available in many high-quality styles and finishes.
5. ADDS TO HOME VALUE.
Desirable, up-to-date kitchens and bathrooms feature undermount sinks.
6. ALLOWS FAUCET FLEXIBILITY.
Most undermount sinks do not feature predrilled holes which gives you more choices for your faucet type and placement.
