undermount sink

Below-counter wash basin

An undermount sink is installed beneath the countertop rather than dropped into a hole from above, creating a seamless edge where the counter material meets the basin.

This mounting style allows easy cleanup—you can wipe crumbs directly into the sink without catching on a raised rim.

Undermount installation requires solid countertop materials like granite or quartz that can support the sink's weight from below.
