If you’re planning a new kitchen design, an undermount sink is definitely something you should be considering. An undermount sink is when the sink is mounted under the countertop, as opposed to the more common traditional overmount sinks, which are inserted into a pre-cut hole in a countertop, leaving a lip overlapping the countertop.
Let’s have a look at some of the benefits of undermount sinks…
1. Undermount sinks are often seen as a premium to homebuyers. If you’re selling your home, potential buyers are more likely to see an undermount sink as a special added value feature in the home.
