Choosing Your Sink

• Choosing your sink is the first thing you should consider. Make sure you measure the space you have available to place your new sink, and to measure the sink you want before ordering it to ensure that it will fit. You will also want to take into account any design or decor considerations as you choose the new sink.
  
  

Measure Twice, Cut Once

• As with any project that requires measuring and cutting, it is better to take proper measurements and check those measurements before cutting than to cut and be short later. You will be cutting out the area for the undermount sink, make sure the measurements are precise.
  
  

Smooth your Cut Out

• When cutting space for your sink, make sure the area is smooth. Granite can have rough edges that will cut, so make sure you use a grinder to smooth edges. This will also help with placement of the sink. Make sure the grinder is in good condition to avoid jagged edges.
  
  

Ask for Help

• While the cutting and the selection of your sink can be done alone, the installation may need a second pair of hands. You will want someone to hold it in position so you can set it into place and make sure it is properly adhered. You will also want to place a seal around your sink while your helper is holding it in place.
  
  

Warnings

• Make sure to wear goggles when doing any home improvements, but especially when using a grinder. Small chips can fly into your eyes.
