Topmount stainless steel kitchen sinks, also known as drop-in or self-rimming sinks, are installed over the top of the counter. The sink is suspended by its rim as it is positioned inside a cut out hole of the countertop. For added security, overmount kitchen sinks are clamped into position from below.
This installation method is popular for homeowners who have laminate countertops so that the inner core of the counter is not visible. The installation process is very simple.
All of our Stainless Steel Topmount Kitchen Sinks are constructed from 300-series, cold-rolled stainless steel; most are superior 304-grade. The premium-quality composition and corrosion-resistant properties ensure a strong and dependable product. The thicknesses vary per model, with an economical 20 gauge or a durable 18 gauge available. All stainless steel drop in sinks come fully-insulated to eliminate any condensation, and have pads to diminish sound. Their brushed satin finish helps conceal any scratches that may occur over time.
Daily cleaning needn't be anything more than simple rinsing with water and drying with a towel. Many cleaners contain chemical additives which can compromise the luster of your sink if they are used daily.
Once a week, wash using a mild, abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Rinse immediately and towel dry. Never use steel wool or allow chlorides to remain in contact with your sink for long periods of time.
