Mounting an Undermount Bowl to a Granite Vanity

Undermount sink bowls have become a popular fixture in many homes. This type of sink is used in kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms. Undermount sinks are best used with a solid surface counter top, like granite. The sink is attached to the underside of the counter top and then connected to the plumbing. Once in place, homeowners can quickly and easily wipe water or dirt from the counter top directly into the sink bowl without worrying about a sink lip.
