Keep in mind that even if the bathroom sink is one of the main features of your bathroom space, this item should not take up too much room. This is the main reason why under mount sinks have become so popular among home owners. Instead of getting grime and dirt stuck right in the sealant around your sink, the basin of an under mount bathroom sink is attached right below the counter, without any visible seams. So, any particles that would otherwise get stuck in your bathroom sink caulking will be washed down the drain and you will not have to spend too much time on cleaning your under mount bathroom sink.
