Redesigning a kitchen or bathroom can transform your home in a positive way. When each detail chosen is an expression of your taste, they can revitalize your space and improve the value of your home. One element to carefully consider is the sink. Before choosing the first one that appeals to you, delve further into whether it is actually the optimal product for your house and countertops. Weinstein Kitchen & Bath Showroom in Collegeville has a wide selection of sinks, and our experts can help you find one that meets your needs and budget.

Drop-in versus under-mount sinks

What is the most important feature for your sink? Durability, style or functionality? Ideally, it will be a combination of all three. There are pros and cons to both drop-in and undermount sinks. For those who are wondering the difference between the two, an under mount sink does not show any edges above the countertop while drop-ins do. Of course, the differences extend further. Drop-ins tend to have an easier installation process, are simpler to replace and allow you to keep your current countertop, if that is important to you. Under mount sinks possess an alluring aesthetic and easy cleanup appeal. Installation differs in regards to approach. Just like it sounds, undermounts are installed from below, and drop-ins are “dropped in” from above. Proper installation is essential for both.
