An under mount sink sits just below the polished rim of the sink cut out. Many clients prefer an under mount sink because it offers a smooth surface from counter to sink. This option requires some additional polishing, and therefore incurs an additional charge. A top mount sink sits on top of the cut out and adds no additional cost to your project. Those that are cost conscious may prefer this option.
