Is It Better to Have Undermount or Drop-In Sinks?

Undermount sinks certainly have their pros and cons, and the choice is up to you! We can provide some insight for homeowners weighing their options. Our best advice is to choose a reputable contractor to install the sink.

Undermount sink pros:

• Easy to clean (no crevices for crumbs or dirt to accumulate)
• Streamlined look and feel
• Easily wipe messes straight into the sink from the edge of the countertop
• Can be customized with additional features like drainboards

Undermount sink cons:

• Doesn’t work with all countertop materials (best for marble, granite, or concrete)
• Can take up a lot of storage space underneath your countertop
• Require more support than traditional drop-in sinks
• Are difficult to replace, due to their custom nature
