What causes an undermount sink to detach or fall of?
A sagging undermount sink isn’t an unusual occurrence, and there’s a good reason why.
The nature and design of an undermount sink mean its weight isn’t suspended on the countertop for support. It needs some other way to be supported, usually done with glue and brackets.
However, several factors can cause your undermount sink to fall off or drop:
- Inadequate Adhesive: Using the wrong type of adhesive or not applying enough can lead to the sink detaching from the countertop. The adhesive must be strong enough to support the sink's weight and withstand daily use.
- Improper Installation: If the sink isn’t properly installed with evenly distributed support, it can become loose over time. Incorrect positioning of clips or brackets can lead to uneven stress and eventual sagging.
- Weak or Insufficient Clips: The mounting clips or brackets need to be robust and correctly installed to hold the sink securely. If they are weak, improperly installed, or too few in number, they may fail to support the sink.
- Heavy Use or Overloading: Placing excessive weight in the sink, such as heavy pots and pans, can strain the adhesive and mounting hardware, causing the sink to sag or detach.
- Water Damage: Over time, water can seep into the adhesive or mounting points, especially if the seal around the sink is not properly maintained. This can weaken the bond between the sink and the countertop.
- Countertop Material Issues: Some countertop materials, particularly those that are porous or prone to degradation over time, may not hold the adhesive as effectively. This can be a particular issue with natural stone countertops if not properly sealed.
- Aging Adhesive: Adhesives can degrade over time due to temperature fluctuations, humidity, and chemical exposure, leading to a loss of bonding strength.
