Your countertop and sink need to work together.Your installation options will depend on the countertop material you choose:
- A solid surface countertop of manmade material, natural stone, concrete, or wood will allow for an undermounted sink installation. This design produces a cross-section view of the countertop, and creates a clean, simple line.
- Some sinks are available with tile-in edges. Designed to mount flush with a tiled surface, they offer a built-in, grouted sink edge.
- Self-rimming, drop-in sinks work well with any countertop material but have a raised lip that may, depending on the sink material you choose, interfere with cleaning.
- Apron sinks or farmhouse sinks with exposed face panels must be planned for early in your kitchen design, as they have special cabinet requirements.
