        "text": "Undermount sinks mount beneath the countertop surface, creating a seamless edge that allows you to wipe water and debris directly into the bowl. They require solid surface or stone countertops such as granite or quartz. Drop-in, or top-mount, sinks rest their rim on top of the counter cutout, making them compatible with almost any countertop material, including laminate. While drop-in units are easier to retrofit into existing openings, undermount options provide a sleeker look and simpler cleanup, though they demand precise under-cabinet support and professional sealing.",
