How would you like to be mounted? 😉 Top, bottom or flush?

Choosing how you want to mount your kitchen sink is one of the biggest decisions you have to make extremely early on, and one of the questions you need to ask your contractor/ID from the get-go. Here’s why. 
After seeing the horrifying saga left behind by the previous owner’s undermount sink, we had resigned ourselves to fate for a top-mount sink. That is, until we heard of flush mount. (What you see in pic: previous owner’s undermount sink collapsed and the sink cabinet’s wood began to rot.) 
First things first: build up a new sink cabinet. Thankfully, the configuration meant we only needed to replace this corner and not the entire L-shape. 
Inform your contractor or ID early if you want a flush mount sink! There are many subcontractors who don’t do flush mounts. Additionally, you have to ensure that you purchase a sink that is built for flush mounts. We decided to go with this economical version from Carysil instead of Blanco because it can be top mounted, bottom mounted or flush mounted (so a safe bet). 
This was the quartz countertop selection we had to make to match our flushmount configuration. We decided to get grey all around to avoid staining (we can do quite a lot of cooking). 
And tada! This is the beautiful flush mount that was accomplished. There’s no gap or edge above or under. It’s all flat, which makes it perfect to sweep in any liquid/water on the outside. You don’t even need to worry about water seepage. One of the most headache inducing matters we had to deal with during reno, but ultimately, the payoff is worth it. 
Another angle of the flush mount for your viewing. Although we chose grey, just a caution that liquids like curry or dark sauces can also stain the granite if you don’t wash it off right away or rinse the sink properly.
