Tile-In Sinks

A tile-in sink is specially designed for installation in a tile countertop. It has a flat edge that allows the installer to butt the tile up against the sink and grout the sink as if it were another tile.

  • The tile butts against the sink edge for a clean look similar to that of an undermount sink

  • The sink edge has square, not rounded, corners
