Undermounted sink installation

8 years ago

I thought I had done my reading on under-mounted sinks in a quartzite counter, but they are coming to template tomorrow and all the information is bouncing around in my brain!

My GC is extremely detail oriented (maybe a bit OCD even), but I asked if the sinks needed to be strapped and he said it was not necessary. I thought it was?

Details: Counters are 2cm quartzite and he laid 3/4" plywood on top of cabinets. Plywood was slightly routed out to allow sink flange to lay level with top of plywood. Sink is supported by the plywood. They are stainless sinks by Julien.

Should the sink also be secured with a strap or harness. Why?

Thank you!
