The installation of the above-counter basin is relatively simple. You only need to open a hole at the predetermined position on the countertop according to the installation drawing, then place the basin in the hole, and fill the gap with glass glue. The water on the countertop will not flow down the gap during use, so It is used more in the family. And because the above-counter basin can make more changes in shape, there is more room for style selection, and the decoration effect is more ideal.
After the undermount basin is installed, the overall appearance is relatively neat and easy to take care of, so it is often used in public places. But the junction between the basin and the countertop is easier to hide dirt. Moreover, the under-counter basin has high requirements on the installation process: firstly, the under-counter basin installation bracket needs to be customized according to the size of the under-counter basin, and then the under-counter basin is installed at the predetermined position, the bracket is fixed, and then the countertop with the hole has been opened The cover is fixed on the wall on the under-counter basin—generally, angle irons are used to support the countertop and then fixed to the wall; secondly, because the under-counter supports of the under-counter basin are staggered, disassembly and assembly are complicated, and if the length of the countertop is small, it will be difficult to install Ensure the quality of the installation. Moreover, the style of the undercounter basin is relatively simple, and the only thing that can be used is the color and shape of the countertop, so it is rarely used in the family.
The undermount basin is easy to use, and water and other sundries can be wiped directly into the sink, but the sink cannot be changed in the future, and maintenance is troublesome.
There is a little inconvenience in using the above-counter basin, and the sundries cannot be wiped directly into the sink
Advantages of the above-counter basin: easy installation, rich selection of products, easy disassembly and maintenance; Disadvantages: warping will occur at the connection with the countertop (especially the cheap water basin), prone to water leakage into the sink cabinet and sanitary corners, installation If you are not careful, there will be exposed glass glue, which will turn yellow after a long time.
Advantages of the undermount basin: it is integrated with the countertop, the effect is beautiful, easy to clean, and there is no hygienic dead corner; Disadvantages: it needs to be installed in the countertop processing workshop, and the designer or installer is inexperienced and the basin will deviate from the middle of the sink cabinet; choose the right water outlet The faucet is angled; the water basin is used for the second time, and it is inconvenient to disassemble.
The difference between above counter basin and under counter basin:
1. Because the above-counter basin is easy to install, has rich shapes and good modeling effects, it is generally used in the family.
2. The installation of the under-counter basin is more troublesome than the above-counter basin, and the requirements are higher. At the same time, the shape is relatively simple, but it is easy to take care of. Therefore, under-counter basins are often used in public places, which is convenient for maintenance.
3. The undermount basin is easy to use, and water and other sundries can be wiped directly into the sink, but the sink cannot be changed in the future, and maintenance is troublesome.
4. There is a little inconvenience in the use of the above-counter basin, and the sundries cannot be wiped directly into the sink.
Precautions:
countertop basin
1 However, the countertop of the above-counter basin must be opened according to the size of the opening, otherwise the water will not be sealed well and the countertop will leak.
2 High-quality silica gel should be used for installation, otherwise the glue on the edge of the sink will turn black and moldy after a long time, and the sink will become loose.
Counter Basin
1. The position of the bracket should be fixed and accurate. The distance between the undermount basin and the wall is generally 15-30 cm. If there are two basins, leave enough distance between them, otherwise they will affect each other when used.
2. The holes need to be rounded.
3. Use special glass glue with strong viscosity, which can prevent mildew, water and crack.
4. Pay attention to the faucet with the undermount basin, because considering the thickness of the basin edge, the faucet mouth should be as long as possible to ensure normal use.
5. Due to the cumbersome installation, the installation of the undermount basin generally requires an additional installation fee.
6. The opening of the stone must be aligned with the basin, otherwise it is easy to accumulate dirt.
