How to distinguish between kitchen sink countertop basin and undercounter basin are the same appeara

1. The degree of difficulty of cleaning is different.

The edge of the undercounter basin is lower than the countertop, so the water on the countertop can be easily wiped into the basin, so you don't have to worry about the water all over the countertop. The countertop basin has a sanitary dead corner, and it is not easy to clean. Lazy people who don't like to do hygiene still have to choose carefully.

2. The appearance is different.

The undercounter basin is the frame of the sink that is under the countertop, as shown in the figure below. Countertop basins are the most common sink installation in home kitchens, and are characterized by sink edges protruding from the countertop.

3. The difficulty of installation is different.

The installation process of the undercounter basin is difficult and the construction is troublesome. The countertop basin is easy to install and easy to disassemble and repair. But generally speaking, as long as the quality is okay, don't use it too much, and basically don't need maintenance.

4. The degree of durability is different.

Generally, if the countertop basin is not properly treated when it is installed, the glass glue will be exposed and seeped into water, and it will turn yellow and black after a long time, and the sink will also be loose. However, the load bearing of the countertop basin is relatively uniform, and there is generally no such problem.

Countertop basin: The basin protruding from the countertop is called a countertop basin.

The installation of the countertop basin is relatively simple, just open the hole in the predetermined position of the countertop according to the installation drawing, and then place the basin in the hole, and fill the gap with glass glue, and the water on the countertop will not flow down the gap when used, so it is used more in the family. And because the countertop basin can make more changes in the shape, there is more room for the choice of style, and the decoration effect is ideal. If it is broken, remove the silica gel and pick it up directly from the top of the countertop, which is easy to maintain.

However, there is a little inconvenience in use, and the debris cannot be wiped directly into the sink. And after a long time, the glue on the edge of the sink will turn black and the sink will loosen.

Undercounter basin: A basin that is completely recessed below the countertop is called an undercounter basin.

The undercounter basin is embedded in the middle of the countertop stone, more beautiful than the countertop basin, if the manual is good, it will not leak for ten or eight years, the basin is lower than the countertop, and the water on the countertop can easily flow into or wipe into the basin, and the hygiene is better to take care of. However, the undercounter basin needs to be taken to the cabinet factory for processing, and it needs to be charged, about one or two hundred processing fees, depending on the cabinet brand. In addition, it is not as easy to replace the undercounter basin as the countertop basin, and there is basically no possibility of replacing it.

If the workmanship is not firm, it may fall over a long time.

Look at the upper edge of the sink, the countertop basin is pressed on the countertop, the outer edge is more beautiful, and the undercounter basin is on the countertop from the bottom, and the fixed clips and methods are different.

The audience is easy to take care of, but not heavy; On the stage is the opposite.
