Can I mount this sink so the top edge is flush with the countertop surface (not just below countertop)

It is completely glazed and finished inside and out, so it would be possible.

The top edge of the sink is rounded and glazed, so I would not advise sitting it flush. It would not look right. Hope this helps.

The Belle Foret porcelain sink (beautiful, and durable) has a smooth edge and top (think of it as being like a box with no lid or other detail on the upper edge). It would be possible to make that smooth edge even with the counter top, then seal the small space between counter top and sink edge with silicone or grout. It has no lip as would be true with a drop in sink. We chose to install below the counter top and like the look very much. To my taste it would look unusual to have the sink and the counter top at the same level with a small space containing sealant or grout.

You would have to replace the top and add the sink...don't think it should be a problem. Ask your contractor before you buy it of its possible

Hmm, I don't think that would work. We have a small drawer under the drain board portion, but I've never looked under the drawer to see what's going on under there ... but I do know that our dishwasher, which is on the other side, is installed flush to the bottom of the countertop, while the drain board on this sink is below the bottom of the countertop ... but maybe by only an inch or so. I'll look tonight and let you know what I think (if someone else doesn't know the real answer!).

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. �

Hi Gail,Manufacturer says mount it facing right & we did. It appears to me the bottom of the faucet has a slightly oval shape. Rotating it to face forward may not allow you to use the deck plate which is used to cover the unused holes in the sink. If you have a 1-hole sink it would probably work. This is our 1st time with a right hand faucet & we actually like it better than a center handle because it provides more clear sink area. Dave Steele

Yes, this sink looks great installed as a "drop in" or top mount as well as under counter if desired. "dual-mount" means either application can be used.

Yes, but DON'T use it because the corners are WAY too rounded to look right with the corners of the sink.

I dont think so. It's a basin sink made to mount on top no way to support a flush mount.

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.

It does not have to be fully flush mounted, but there must be a recess below the handle and finger groove area. The outside edges can mount flat on top of your surface after that.

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

Yes, slightly. I have an under counter mounted sink so it's sleek looking yet functional. I'm not sure if it's angled enough for an above mounted sink with a lip. I hope this helps!

Yes it can. I just had this installed last week. I absolutely LOVE this sink. My granite company used an under mount strap as opposed to the mounting brackets that are suggested to be sold with it. I wound up having to return the brackets.

FrankeUSA's drawing of the SL103BX (in Amazon's posted pics) says "topmount or undermount install". Anyone try installing UNDERmount? Looks like that would be possible, since in the photo, the top of sink is flat. (Even if top had some embossed ridges, those could be shimmed around.) The question of topmount or undermount is mostly a question of labor costs. The vendor does not want to disappoint the customer with extra install costs. Those who are DIY hobbyists, won't mind the extra time.

I'm not familiar with either sink you're referring to, but the Blanco can be installed with either side facing out. The one side is more square and the other side is more rounded. We installed ours with the more rounded corners facing out.

I can't recall whether the edge finish is good enough to top mount. However, my recollection is that www.mrdirectint.com sells a wide variety of top-mount sinks. There would be no question with a sink designed for top mount.

My sink is undermounted. I'm not sure that the top surface of the sink is finished nice enough for a surface mount. It's been several years since I mounted it. As a undermount it's a great sink, and as such I would recommend it.
