Framed Sink
The framed sink is a commodity sink and installed in a vanity counter top. This style sink is commonly found in apartments, older homes and less expensive newer homes. They are installed into plastic laminate counter tops.

As the name suggests, these sinks drop into a counter top and are trimmed out with a metal "frame". The sink itself can be porcelain enameled cast iron or pressed steel (usually the latter). Plumbing waste and supply lines are concealed in the vanity base.
