Pros & Cons for Farmhouse & Undermount Sink

In this article, we are going to introduce the pros and cons of the undermount and farmhouse sink.

1. Undermount Sink

Pros:

• The quality of undermount sink is usually better than overmount sink
• You can easily sweep cooktop water and crumbs straight into the sink with a sponge.

Cons:

• Undermount sink usually cost more to buy and install than overmount sink
• Although trash will not accumulate on the top, it will gather under the counter, where the sink and the counter meet.

2. Farmhouse Sink

 Pros:

• This kind of sink with bigger basin makes it easier to wash big casserole and baking pans.
• Most people prefer the “farmhouse”
• Since there is less room between the sink and the edge of the cooktop, the person who uses the sink can get closer to the sink to avoid fatigue.

 Cons:

• You need to pay more for this type of sink
• It drips easily, because there is only a narrow barrier between the sink and the floor.
