There are several styles to consider when choosing a sink including drop in, undermount, apron front, and vessel.
SINK STYLES
The most common is the drop-in sinks, also called a top mount sinks or self-rimming sinks. It drops into a cut-out in the counter with the rim secured to the counter with adhesive and silicone. Drop-in sinks are usually offered in sinks-more color choices and styles and are less expensive than undermount and apron style sinks.
An undermount sink is, as the name implies, mounted from underneath. It is mounted using an epoxy adhesive, silicone, and metal clips. The undermount sinks work best with solid surface counters including granite, marble, or concrete.

Undermount sinks are generally heavier and more costly than drop-in sinks. Since there is no lip or rim, the continuous flow is a nice design feature and allows for easy clean up by racking crumbs and debris directly into the sink.
Another popular choice is the apron front or farmhouse sinks. Farmhouse sinks have come a long way since Grandma’s Day.
