What is the most common installation, undermount, flush or showing a valance?
Typically, undermount is the most common. The sink must be on hand before installation for the cabinet maker and counter top maker, due to the +/- 2% dimension variance. Building the sink or cutting the counter top prior to delivery of the sink is not recommended.
The installation should be robust enough to support a 150 pound sink with water. A 1 to 2 inch projection is normal.
Is a fireclay sink as durable as stainless steel?
Fired at 2264 degrees, the glaze is extremely strong. The silica in the clay fuses with the glaze, to make a very durable surface. It is chip resistant, but not chip proof. Fireclay may chip, but it takes quite a hit to do that kind of damage. Because the surface on the glaze is non-porous, it is more sanitary than stainless steel.
