UnterbauSpüle

An UnterbauSpüle, often translated as an undermount sink, is a type of kitchen or bathroom sink that is installed beneath the countertop. This mounting method creates a seamless transition between the sink and the counter surface, offering several advantages. Unlike drop-in sinks that have a rim resting on top of the counter, the undermount design allows for debris and liquids to be wiped directly from the countertop into the sink without obstruction. This contributes to a cleaner and more hygienic surface.

The installation process for an UnterbauSpüle typically involves securing the sink to the underside of the countertop using clips or adhesive. This requires a solid countertop material, such as granite, quartz, or solid surface, that can support the weight of the sink and its contents. Materials like laminate are generally not suitable for undermount installations. The aesthetic appeal of an UnterbauSpüle is a significant factor in its popularity, as it provides a minimalist and modern look, making countertops appear more expansive. Maintenance involves regular cleaning of both the sink and the countertop junction.
