Over, under or inset basin — the difference
Three mounting types change the furniture and sealing. Basics: basin guide.
Comparison
| Type | Meaning | Watch out |
|---|---|---|
| Above surface / sit-on | Sits on the furniture | Edge sealing, height with mixer |
| Under-mount | “Hung” under stone/top | Top cut-out + pro |
| Inset / semi-recessed | Partly set into the slab | Precise template cut-out |
Typical ceramic examples (read mounting on the card): Jika Euroline, Zeta, iLife A.
What this changes for the trap
Lower bowl + thick top = less trap space. See trap guide before buying.
Typical mistakes
- Buying an “under-mount” basin for a vanity meant only for sit-on.
- Ignoring the template — “I’ll cut by eye”.
