Where the rim sits
An undermount sink is fixed below the stone, leaving the benchtop edge visible around the bowl. A top mount sink drops into the cut-out and rests on the surface with a visible rim.
Clean and integrated
The sink sits below the benchtop, giving the stone a continuous appearance and allowing water and crumbs to be wiped directly into the bowl.
- Modern, streamlined finish
- The polished stone cut-out remains visible
- Available with different reveal details
- Requires accurate templating, fabrication and secure support
Practical and accessible
The sink rim sits on top of the benchtop and covers the cut edge. It is often simpler to fit or replace and suits many kitchen and utility applications.
- Visible rim protects and covers the cut-out edge
- Often easier to install or replace
- Works with a broad range of sink models
- The rim creates a small raised edge on the surface
This reference shows the four common relationships between the stone cut-out and the sink bowl. We confirm the exact sink model and selected reveal before fabrication.
Choose the reveal before cutting
Flush reveal
The finished stone edge aligns closely with the inside wall of the bowl for a precise, integrated appearance.
Positive reveal
A small section of the sink rim is visible. This makes the junction easy to see and can simplify cleaning around the edge.
Small overhang
The stone extends slightly over the bowl rim. The final allowance must suit the exact sink template, bowl shape and access for cleaning.
We confirm the selected sink model and reveal before fabrication so the cut-out, polish and mounting method work together.
