froggy 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2010 You can undermount that sink but it will not look very nice and sleek as other sink. It's because of the four corners ... The idea of undermount sink is that you won't see any border (or zero reveal) but your sink in the four corners have a "ledge" and this ledge would still appear after you undermount it. Hence, it doesn't look as nice as other sink. Example of my sink ... I was also told that (from one shop) that undermount sinks have edges that are flat, so when mounted cannot see much of the stainless steel "edge". Does this therefore mean that if undermount = tap must mount of solid top because got no edge left in sink to punch hole right? But another shop, he sales lady said that all sinks can do undermount, so a matter of personal choice. Dunno bluffing me or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the method and skill on how to do it only.c wah, that sounds "dangerous", like asking for trouble to use a top for under mount. bc if we insist to use a top for under, contractor oblige but later leak, alot or problems so what is the method to do anyway? I always thought that the salespeople are trying to force a sale when they say all sinks can undermount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought that the salespeople are trying to force a sale when they say all sinks can undermount. if u email those reputable sink manufacturer such as elkay etc, they will tell u topmount and undermount sink are different. Both are mounted differently. However, seems like in SG, ppl use topmount as undermount too. Therefore I think we need familiar folks like Jaskel to advise.
