Under-mounted sinks (also called sub-mounted) are usually more difficult and time-consuming to install, but they offer a more integrated look, particularly when the sink and countertop are made of the same material. There is no barrier between countertop and sink, so cleaning up is easier. In many cases, grooves can be routed in the countertop near the sink, creating a built-in drain board.
Under-mounting is used most often with stone or solid-surface countertops. Because the edge of the countertop is exposed, it cannot be used with laminate countertops.

It's Time To Bring Some "NEW AGE" Stuff Into Your Bathroom!
Not all faucet types work with every sink basin. Standard faucet drillings are widespread, centre set or single hole:
- Widespread faucet sets have a spout with separate hot and cold water handles. All pieces appear to be separate. Widespread faucets are available from 6" to 16" drillings for three-hole pre-drilled installation basins.
- Centre set faucets (mini-widespread) are made for 4" pre-drilled with three-hole installation basins. They combine a spout and valves on a single base unit. A centre set faucet set may have a single handle mixing lever or two handles mounted onto a 6" plate.
- Single hole faucets have a spout and a single mixing handle all in one for single-handed control. Single lever faucets require one-hole drill installation basins. Some brands of single lever faucets have an optional 6" cover plate for pre-drilled 4" drill installations.
- Wall-mounted faucets are available for above-the-counter and freestanding basins that require a long spout for extended reach. Wall-mount faucets require a separate wall-mount valve and drain for installation. Make sure the spout is long enough for adequate basin clearance
