The under-mount sink is clean looking sink found most usually newer construction and remodels. They can’t be installed into plastic laminate or tile counter tops. They can only be installed into solid surface counters for example stone or synthetic composite tops for example Corian® or Silestone®.
As the name suggests, these sinks mount from the underside of the counter. They are slightly larger than the opening of the top, with the top creating a slight lip or overhang into the sink bowl. The bathroom sink itself is usually made from porcelain enameled cast iron, vitreous china, metal like copper or stainless steel, or out of a a composite resin material. If the sink as well as the top are composite resin then the sink could be manufactured integral with the top (like the “cultured marble” tops of old). Plumbing waste and supply lines are concealed within the vanity base.
