The kitchen sink is an undercounter basin, how does it work? What are the pros and cons

Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of a kitchen basin is to choose an undercounter basin or an overcounter basin overtop basin and undercounter basin: countertop basin: advantages:

Easy to install, rich in products and choices, easy to disassemble and maintain; Disadvantages: the link with the countertop will be warped (especially the cheap basin), it is easy to leak water to the sink cabinet and sanitary dead ends, if the installation is not careful, there will be exposed glass glue, and it will turn yellow after a long time; Undercounter basins: Pros:

It is integrated with the countertop, the effect is beautiful, easy to clean, and there is no sanitary dead end; Disadvantages: It needs to be installed in the countertop processing workshop, and the lack of experience of designers or installers will cause the basin to deviate from the middle position of the sink cabinet; Choose a faucet with the right angle of the water outlet; The basin is used for the second time, and it is inconvenient to disassemble.

The reason for the countertop basin is that there is a gap between the countertop basin and the countertop to store dirty things and it can't be wiped, so it can't be seen but there are still bacteria, and if the combination is not good, the water will return to the cupboard. The edge of the countertop basin can be glued on the outside, and there is no need to worry about not being clean because the edge of the gap is on the outside of the basin.

On the whole, the processing technology of the undercounter basin is more complex than the countertop basin, and after the traditional marble glue and quartz countertop are bonded, they are bound to be separated again, so generally speaking, if the sink has a problem in the future and is ready to be replaced, it will inevitably hurt the countertop, and the cost of replacement is too high.

In terms of load-bearing capacity, the undercounter basin is also slightly worse than the countertop basin; Of course, from the perspective of hygiene, the undercounter basin is indeed much more convenient.

My kitchen is under the counter, but it feels more convenient, and the water on the top of the cabinet can be swept directly into the sink.

The kitchen sink countertop basin is better, because if it is an undercounter basin, it is easy to hide dirt in the gap between the countertop and the countertop, and it is not easy to clean, so it is easy to grow bacteria.
