1. Integral
The sink and countertop are made from the same material. Whether you use this type of installation in your bathroom or kitchen, the result is a smooth, sleek look.

2. Undermounted
For a modern look, try installing an undermounted sink. It creates more or less the same feel as the integral installation, but the sink is attached underneath the countertop.

3. Self-Rimming
With this type of sink installation, the rimmed edge of the sink is mounted over the countertop.

4. Tile-in
Similar to the undermounted sink installation, but specifically used for tiled surfaces. This design shows no visible separation between the sink and the tiled surface.
