Sink & Faucet Countertops throughout Central Illinois

When it comes to installing a new sink, one of the most popular options is a top-mount or drop-in sink that installs from above. They are cut based on a template with a hole cut in the counters for a sink to be inserted from above. The rim is sealed with silicone. These are sometimes called rimmed or self-rimming sinks.

With under-mounts, the concept is the exact opposite. The sink is attached to the bottom of the counter with special fasteners. The benefit of these sinks is that crumbs and water can be swept right into the sink, making cleanup a breeze. 

These are sought after because of the space that there is to wash on one side and dry on the other. Double sinks are multipurpose, versatile and a great choice for any kitchen that gets heavy usage.

A single-basin sink may include under-mounts or top-mounts. As a general term, single-basin sinks are just that, single basin. However, they are great options for redecorating small kitchens where space is at a premium.

Sometimes called “country style” farmhouse or apron style sinks are distinguishable by their white color and their large single basin. Many times, these are installed as a free standing table, without countertops surrounding them.

Sometimes, you need counter space outside of your primary kitchen space. Whether it be a prep space or room for a bar, these include single basin sinks that are slightly smaller than your traditional kitchen sink. This adds utility and helps save on space.
