Also known as overmount sinks, inset sinks are the most popular type of kitchen sink and are the most straightforward to install. The inset sink is mounted from above, whereby the bowl drops into a hole prepared in the work surface and the rim then overlaps and rests on the top. These sinks often have a built-in drainer, but there is also an extensive selection without a drainer to choose from. They can offer a more traditional feel, although they suit contemporary and traditional kitchens alike. Available in a massive range of styles, colours and finishes, including glass and granite.
Ceramic inset sinks are increasingly popular, although stainless steel is still the number one favourite, including polished and brushed finishes. Again, whilst the one and a half bowl inset sink is the most sought after, there are many single, double and even 1.25 and 1.75 bowl options.
