This minimalist mount looks great with granite and marble and often has a wide selection of options when considering style. With this mount the countertops are installed over the sink to hide the seam between the sink and the counters for a more flawless look. Push the caulk into the gap between the edge of the sink and the countertop with a gloved finger. The sink is made of durable 18 gauge stainless steel with a brushed finish to provide long lasting use while the insulated coating on the underside reduces waste disposal and water noise to help keep your kitchen quiet while you work.

Secure the sink in place with nuts or screws as appropriate for the sink to granite connection. Ask a helper to hold the bottom of the sink. Release the trigger on the bar clamps remove the clamps from the drain openings lower the sink down into the cabinet and remove the sink. One concern with composite granite sinks is that they may clash with your granite counter so we recommend choosing a design that contrasts well with your existing kitchen design.

An undermount sink does have a rim but the rim is not visible because it rests up against the bottom of the counter. Undermount sinks mount to the bottom of the countertop and are held in place by heavy duty clips and caulk or a special adhesive. Step 4 trace the sink again this time with the silicone caulk forming a quarter inch bead. Wipe up any excess leaving a smooth application.

Obviously you need a sink.
