Solid surface commonly uses bonded integrated sinks with nearly seamless joints. Stainless-steel countertops may use welded sinks, while porcelain or stone systems can use coordinated fabricated bowls. Integrated designs reduce exposed rims and simplify cleaning. Repair and replacement can be more complicated because the sink is part of the countertop system.
Key considerations
- cleanability
- water resistance
- repairability
- seamless transition
- coordinated material
- custom fabrication
