Undermount Kitchen Sink Laminate Countertop

Undermount sinks install on laminate counter tops differently than on granite or stone.

Undermount kitchen sink laminate countertop.

And that s how i found out about karran sinks. In earlier times when laminate countertops were the most popular like what you d see everywhere the drop in sink was the only option because when you cut through the laminate for the opening for the sink it was not a finished edge kimmel says. Undermount sinks offer several advantages over conventional drop in sinks. But i did what i do for every single diy project and started combing the internet like an obsessed crazy woman.

Laminate countertops love undermount sinks. The edge of standard mounted sinks can get icky from food build up and other grime. The sink installs flush to the laminate not below the surface of the counter to prevent water from soaking into the particleboard. Water gets in there swells the mdf and warps your countertops.

Having the sink mounted under the countertop is brilliant clean and neat. The weak points created by seams and grout with laminate. I love the process that karran has developed to enable countertop fabricators to undermount sinks on laminate. Because the mdf under laminate countertops gets ruined when it gets wet you can t install a normal undermount sink.

This means an entirely different mounting procedure is necessary for an undermount sink with laminate countertops. I am seriously in love with my undermount stainless steel sink. Unfortunately undermount kitchen sinks don t mesh with all countertop materials.
