Choosing how to mount your kitchen sink is always a difficult decision. There are three common ways to mount your sink;
1. Undrmount
2. Over/Inset mount
3. Flushmount
Is the most popular way to mount your kitchen sink. An Undermount sink gives a clean, seamless look to your kitchen bench.
| Pros | Cons |

- Mould in the silicone between sink and benchtop - Stone can chip on impact of pots, pans etc. |
Overmount or inset mounting is when the sink is dropped in and sits on top of your chosen benchtop. This is the most cost effective and easiest to change sink installation
| Pros | Cons |
|
- Easy to change your sink if you need to - Cost effective installation - Protection from damage that can be caused by pots etc. |

Flushmount is when your stonemason/ benchtop installer uses a router to cut away at the stone so your sink lip is inline with your benchtop. Creating a seamless line between your sink an bench
