SWMBO and me are debating the kitchen design.
I'm keen on wooden worktops as they are fairly easy (compared to stone) to install, repairable (unlike laminated chip) and more affordable (unlike stone).
However she is keen to have stone round the sink with an undermount large rectangular stainless sink which all seems very sensible for that part of the kitchen...
I have found various places that let you template and fit your own stone (they machine it to your drawings or wooden 1:1 template) and I feel confident enough to do that for a 1.2m x 650mm worktop.
eg
That worktop will abut to a wooden worktop which will be router trimmed to match the stone front profile exactly. That part of the worktop I wouldn't fancy in stone anyway as it has limited front support due to 2 appliances and no cupboards so mostly relying on end-panels for support apart from a rear batten.
I will look to finding some fine ali or SS "D" shaped profile to glue over the joint which will act as a water barrier as well as visual demarcation.
That brings me to the actual question:
How hard is it to do an undermount sink?
I've seen a few youtube vids that suggest it basically comes down to:
a) Get the hole right
b) Run silicone or some funky glue around top edge of sink
c) Mount with everything upside down and secure with clips, which are either screwed and plugged into the underside of the stone, or some other clip, eg Franke's which bang into 3mm slots you angle-grind (there said it!) into the underside adjacent to the sink rim.
Is it actually this straight forward or are there a multitude of things that can go wrong?
Cheers
