Butler Sink For Laminate Worktop

In answer to your question belfast sinks are not commonly recommended with laminate worktops.

Butler sink for laminate worktop.

There are some truly brilliant laminate worktop decors now available from worktop express that are perfect for recreating a traditional kitchen feel at an affordable price. With a traditional style and light colour this ceramic sink will beautifully complement darker coloured surfaces like our black granite solid laminate worktop. If water gets into the sealed edge of the laminate worktop then it will just blow swell the worktop as you would have to cut and re edge laminate when fitting it next to the sink. Well our answer to this question is it s a definite no when it comes to using belfast sinks with laminate worktops.

Depending on the breadth of the strip at the back the strength of the worktop material chosen and the weight length of the sections to either side of the sink it may or may not be feasible to make. The sink installs flush to the laminate not below the surface of the counter to prevent water from soaking into the particleboard. Traditional butler sinks sit beneath the worktop so the three sided hole must be polished just like the polished cutout for an undermount sink. This is because of the way the sinks are positioned as undermounted solutions.

This means an entirely different mounting procedure is necessary for an undermount sink with laminate countertops. We would advise strongly against it.
