How thin is the edge of this sink on top of the countertops? Can you really just wipe crumbs directly into the sink like you can with an undermount?

The edge is very thin, but it is there, maybe a 32nd or so. Nevertheless, that is not an issue for us, we love the sink even if we may have to occasionally wipe small bits twice to get them off the counter. It's just not an issue.

It has a very thin lip, but it's not an under mount sink. Wiping crumbs directly into the sink is possible, but not as smooth as with an under mount. I typically don't do it. Hope this helps.

no. you cant just wipe fine crumbs but the profile is very low so bigger crumbs you could. This is a very good sink and we are really happy with it after converting from an undermount.

21/2 or 3". Yes crumb cleanup easy. I love my sink. Better then my undercounts from the past

It is very thin, but not thin enough to wipe small crumbs directly into the sink. When looking at the edge where the sink and counter line up it looks flush, but when running your hand over it you can feel the difference. Hope that helps!

No, there is a millimeter rise from the counter top to the sink. However you can try to get a skilled counter top installer to make the sink edge flush with the counter.

Yes you can. I have this sink and absolutely love it. Plus I much prefer the look on the over mount that undercount. I think u will be very pleased with it. If you give me your email I can send you a pic of mine and even video. I am out of town so I could get it to you either the end of this week or beginning of next. Lmk. �

In answer to your question- no, I cannot just wipe crumbs into the sink. Any small crumbs will hit the edge, though it is very thin. I also found that it was nearly impossible to mount this sink in such a way that the edge pulled down perfectly tight at all points. There is bound to be a hairline crack underneath, unless you are a better installer than I am. I have really liked the sink, though.

Hello Robin, yes I mounted our sink above the counter 1/4 " , of course I still had to remove the false front and cut into the sides of the cabinet below . the existing doors under cabinet are clear so still function. It just takes a little engineering but we wanted to see the top of the sink and not hide it undermount. I would be happy to send pics, so let me know!

There are two versions of the sink, a self-rimming version (995-0) and an undermount version (995-U-0). We purchased the self-rimming version, which mounts on top of the counter. For either one, I think the instructions have you install the faucet on the higher area in the upper left of sink picture. Holes need to be cut in the sink, not the countertop. Here is link for the install instructions from the Sterling website for the self-rimming version of the sink - http://www.sterlingplumbing.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/1084460_2.pdf.

I have since moved from the house in which I installed this sink (but I do plan to get another one for the new house) so I will try to answer from my memory. I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but I mounted this as an undermount, and all of the interior surfaces and corners were smooth. The rim (that was mounted under the counter) had angles on the edges, but the sink bowl itself was rounded and smooth. The profile of the sink bottom if you looked down at it from above was similar to the cross-section of a gumdrop - a dome at the top and a flat bottom, with slightly rounded corners at the bottom. Is that helpful? Did I not understand your question properly?

This sink is not self rimming. True undermount sink. I will post a photo with my previous review so you can see it installed.

It's an under-mount sink.You only see the curve of the bowl when installed and not the clipped corners.

I bought this sink and itbis installed with small side of sink in thé right....you can.turn.it. thé inky advice i have is to be sûre to make thé hole where your water fixture goes in thé center. Without thinking i put it centered on thé big part of thé sink and it cant reach thé small part...my granite guy didnt offer up this thought. It works though because i have à fixture with à pull out to reach thé small side....which is where i have my disposal! Good sink for thé cost....it does get scratches....this is typical for this gauge of sink/stainless.

I installed mine in an under mount sink. We have granite top withe a porcelain under mount sink. Easy to install, looks great.

Jessica, Generally speaking, a top mount sink's flange will be finished in a manner that is intended to be exposed; it will not have a sharp edge, and will have a slight arch for support. An under mount's flange needs to be extremely flat to have a flush fitment to the surface of the counter top. Often, a sink company that has a "Dual" mount sink will have an arch with a flattened radius to have the solid surface fit correctly in under mount application, and have a smooth edge to accommodate the top mount application.

We installed this sink undermounted in a 30" cabinet. I think it would be possible but difficult to fit into a 24" base. Not sure about top mounting. I forget what the edge looked like. It feels totally flat, which isn't great for creating a finished look.

Accoridng to the formica website, they indicate their laminate strucures accomodate under mount sinks. See http://www.formica.com/en/ca/knowledge/homeowner/kitchen/things-to-know/yes-laminate-countertops-love-undermount-sinks

Yes it can be undermounted or top mounted. I would suggest having it professionally done if you're going to undermount it as it has anchors and wiring under it, at least on a granite countertop. Great sink either way.

Just installed this sink and it can be either an undermount or drop-in sink. You can drill the holes in the granite. It's a fantastic sink and we love it!!

This sink is only for under mount installation. I will not recommend over counter installation.

I can't say because the sink has been installed as an undermount and I don't think being installed would give you an accurate measurement There are different installs for an undermount - some reveal more than sink then others. Love this sink. I don't think there is a better quality one anywhere. You get everything you need in a high quality - except for the disposal.

slight inward curve at the bottom of the sink does not create a quality issue. I'm sure this is done for aesthetics. a clear sealer between the countertop and sink can be used if you choose

if you look under the sink there should be a mounting rail on each side about 1/4 inch away form the edge of the sink. If you need the installation guide please message us by email or amazon message and we can get you a digital copy of the installation
