can this sink be used as a drop in ? does it come with a template for drop in and undermount?

Yes, I used it as a drop in. It has a great heavy paper template. A no brainer.

I ended up returning this sink because it was the wrong color. I know this sink is an undermount, not sure if drop in.

I purchased this sink and love it. It came with a template and I used it as an undermount with Granite counter tops. Looks great.

Yes it can. I believe you would need a different model for it to be under mount sink.We used this sink in an RV and its great!No more stains. It does have a sort of chemical smell but it could be a worse smell!

i had an older sink that was installed above the counter, went to an undermount and as long as the sinks are the same size it shouldn't be a problem. I do not have any of the small pull down door that holds a dish cloth or other small items so did not have to deal with that. I would only install an undercounter mount sink from now on. I do not know if you need any extra supports for your undermount or not. I also had a garbage disposer installed at the same time.

the farm house sink has a cabinet you order for it to set in. Thec abinets I had myhusband had to retrofit for the sink. It is an undermount my granet set on top of it. I love this sink I have been very happy with this purchase.

I had a contractor install the sink (replaced existing vessel sink). He had no difficulty at all, but he did not require a cutting template. Sorry I could not be of any help. The sink (I actually installed two of them) looks great and fits the space extremely well.

Undermount ... as others indicated you have to have a platform built for it. I LOVE it ... for some reason the photo I am seeing now on the screen is not the same sink as the one you asked for a review on ...

We had ours installed in a 36" Corian-type countertop with an undermount sink. We have had no problems.

It can be installed as both undermount and drop in. I installed it as drop in. It does not come with mounting clips, but I was able to reuse the ones from the sink it replaced.

this particular sink is not a drop in but a top mount you need a sink with a flange for drop in

Just installed this sink and it can be either an undermount or drop-in sink. You can drill the holes in the granite. It's a fantastic sink and we love it!!

My sink is top mounted. Like you, I found it hard to tell from their description (sounded like it could be done either way...) My contractor was willing to install it undermounted - but I thought it might get damaged. The template that comes with it says it can be installed either way...? I think an undermount is available with a different model number. The faucet holes are (easily) drilled through the sink - not through the countertop. I have it installed in my laundry room and I do like the large size, particularly the depth - and the little "shelf" - so even as a top mount, I'm happy with my purchase. Hope that helps.

The sink does not come with drain and mounting pieces. I had to purchase those separate from the sink but the drain/mounting kit came with everything I needed to install the sink on top of my counter.

It is a drop in. (also known as top mount. That is verses an undermount sink that mounts under the countertop.

I am not sure I fully understand the difference between and topmount and a drop in sink. However, this sink mounts from the top and drops into a hole cut into the countertop and is clamped from underneath. To prevent water from entering the cabinet in the event of water splashing onto the countertop, I put a bead of caulk around the perimeter of the sink flange and removed the excess that squeezed out.

We installed ours in a 33 inch base and it works very well. Just need good installers. We have a granite top, and the sink obviously is installed undermount. Just not a lot of room left side to side.

We installed it as an undermount and put the smaller section on the right and the larger section on the left. As an undermount sink, you can install it either way, because the faucet gets installed directly in the countertop, rather than in the sink itself. We are very happy with this sink so far.
