Linwood Kitchen

In all home renovations, the devil is always in the detail. Whether it’s the colour of light switches, the depth of architrave or whether the door should open to the left or the right – every decision made has the potential to impact the renovation’s success. When you are renovating your kitchen , the pressure is on to make the best decision from the outset. The space is too important and well used to get wrong. However, one decision that often gets overlooked until the later stages of a kitchen redesign is the selection of the kitchen sink – specifically, whether to opt for an undermount or overmount sink. This comparatively minor detail choice significantly impacts both the aesthetics and functionality of the kitchen design, making it worth careful consideration from the start of the project. Understanding your options Before weighing up the benefits of each option, let's clarify exactly what is being discussed: Overmount sinks (also called top-mount or drop-in sinks) are installed by dropping the sink into a hole cut in your benchtop. The rim of the sink sits on top of the benchtop, creating a visible edge. Undermount sinks are attached beneath the benchtop, with the edges of the benchtop material extending to the sink opening. This creates a seamless transition from benchtop to sink without a visible rim above the surface. As experienced kitchen designers in Christchurch, Finesse Joinery have installed countless sinks across numerous kitchen renovations.
