Inset Basins

What is the difference between an inset basin and an undermount basin?

An under-mounted basin is one installed in the counter and edgeless on the counter surfaces, while an inset sink is a normal sort that sits over the counter/worktop. An under-mounted basin is usually a bit deeper than an inset basin.

How do you measure for an inset basin?

Place your straightedge ruler or your level across the top of your basin. Use your tape measure to measure the deepest part of your basin to the bottom edge of the ruler. Write down the depth. If you have an under-mount basin, be sure to measure the height from the basin to countertop.
