Granite Worktop Sink
Kitchens with ranges do without hobs but everyone needs a sink and there is no better way to show off your solid stone than the classic undermount.
Granite worktop sink. The hole for the sink has to be cut out of the granite as well as the taps so you need to ensure you know what sink and tap you are going to have before the granite is cut to size and with the cut outs required. They are supported by the kitchen units although there may also be a flange overlapping the worktop to the sides. Your inset sink can be a stainless steel sink granite sink ceramic sink or synthetic sink. Inset sinks are installed from above into a pre prepared hole in your worktop which can be laminate wood or solid surface.
They are naturally bacteria resistant and most are sealed to prevent stains. Most undermount sinks have a 1 inch flat rim that sits flush against the granite s underside. The undermount sink cutout is a staple of any solid stone worktop factory. Rolltop sinks may look superficially like topmounted sinks but have no cutout in the worktop at all as the sink tray runs right from front to back fully replacing the worktop.
Because the sink is under the worktop and the hole through the stone is visible the hold must be polished. Squeeze a thin line of silicone caulk around the perimeter of the sink s rim. Granite countertops are one of the most beautiful kitchen or bath additions you can make.
