One of the beauties of granite and quartz worktops is that it is possible to fit an under-mounted sink with a polished cut-out in the stone. Sometimes two sinks are fitted with a narrow strip of granite or quartz separating them. Any kind of undermounted installation with a polished cut-out is simply impossible with laminate worktops.
Obviously, wherever the stone is cut into, there will be some weakening, and customers need to be aware of the minimum clearances required to achieve a stable and safe installation.
