The standard way to mount the sink. Some models allow multiple ways to install, at the user’s choice. The specific options may be:

— Mortise overhead. Models fitted in the slot of the worktop in such a way that the side of the sink is significantly above the surface of the worktop. The method of installation is quite simple, but the side raised above the table is in some cases inconvenient.

— Mortise back to back. Models installed in the slot of the worktop so that the side of the sink is at the level of the worktop. Popular due to the ease of installation and convenience in cleaning: if necessary, water and other contaminants can be «driven» by a cloth from the table top directly to the sink. It is true that there is a small gap between the countertop and the sink where pollution can accumulate; but this disadvantage is compensated by the ease of installation.

— Tabletop. Models fixed at the bottom of the countertop - so that the role of the sides actually play the edges of the hole cut under the sink. This method is convenient for maximum convenience in cleaning: from the kitchen table you can easily wipe into the sink spilled liquid or small debris like crumbs, while the contamination will not accumulate in the gap between the sink and the table top (As opposed to butt mounting, see corresponding paragraph. ). At the same time,...the installation of such shells by itself is quite difficult.

— Tabletop module. Quite specific installation method: the sink is installed on the floor top, replacing the table top. For such an installation, it is necessary that the box accurately corresponds to the sink in size, so this option is quite rare.

The smallest width of the cabinet, pedestal or other base required for the installation of the sink. By width in this case means the distance between the side walls of the cabinet (base). If the width of the sink is too small, it will not get the necessary support, and its normal use will be impossible.
Main minimum dimensions: >less than 45 cm, 45 cm, 50 cm, 60 cm, 80 cm, more than 80 cm.

The warranty period declared by the manufacturer for this model is the period during which the manufacturer guarantees normal operation. The specific terms of the warranty may vary, however, as a rule, it covers factory defects and malfunctions caused by the fault of the manufacturer/seller and discovered during normal use, without violating the rules.

The longer the warranty period (mostly there are models with a guarantee for 5 years, 10 years, 15 years or even with a lifetime warranty) - the more reliable the sink is, the higher its overall quality, all other things being equal, but the more expensive it will cost in comparison with analogues.

However, depending on the market (country in which it is sold), the warranty for the model may differ. For example, for the countries of the European Union, America and other advanced states, the guarantee can be increased.
