How to Install a Flush Mount Kitchen Sink Professional Installation
Professional Installation
This sink cannot be fitted by a non-professional unless they are a welder, plumber, or renovator! Even the repairs should be done by specialists or, if possible, the original designer. Because these sinks are made to sit on top of your countertop, flush mount installation is unique.
Installation Process
Flush-mount sinks are typically produced with a metal frame and a thin layer of cork or rubber, and they are intended to fit inside a mounting ring attached to the top of your countertop. Then, using screws or bolts inserted from below, this mounting ring is fastened to the base cabinets of your sink.
Variations in Countertops
Installation of flush mount sinks is tricky, with a tough difficulty level depending on the material of your countertop. Although it will be easier to install if you have a laminate countertop because the recedes for the sink lips can be cut in using a router. On the other hand, granite or cement countertops will be a lot harder. Still, it’s greatly recommended that only a professional installs this sink, even if it’s a laminate one. This is because the tolerances you are working with are incredibly tight. If any cut is slightly too big or too deep, the whole countertop will be thrown away.
Custom Builts
These are not available just anywhere since they are entirely custom built. Anyone who wants a flush mount kitchen sink needs to choose the material for the countertop and sink at home, where a professional then takes measurements.
