As above. Is it glued? Do you get a template with them for the worktop supplier to use? I'm totally clueless on this!
I would suggest - just a suggestion of course - that the units and sink were 'made up' by fitters? I'm not suggesting that it doesn't do the job of course as it obviously is working. Cant say I've ever seen one constructed the way you mention though and I've seen a few. I have also see one's with a metal frame and support arms connected to the side of the units but that just seemed dead clunky and not a very professional finishJust a plywood top of the sink base cupboard, cutout to match the sink shape; It seems that would ply supports the sink edges in place (with suitable sealant/adhesive of course).
Thanks. So, if I have my sink to hand when they come round to make the templates of the worktops, will they include the fitting holes for me or will I have to drill them myself?Usually clamped and sealed/stuck.
There are normally bolt plates that are either epoxied to the underside of the surface and then lever clamps are bolted to them or in the more Higher end fittings there are holes drilled in the quartz/granite/stone/wood and then threaded anchors are screwed/glued in and then the clamps/brackets bolted to them.

All of them though will have an adhesive/sealant run around the lip to ensure it's watertight
Last few I've done the worktop fitters also fitted the undermount sink and put grooves in the granite as a drainer at the sink position.Thanks.

Would hate to see that if the wood got wet and rotten though.
Relatively, just use a nice new sharp glass bit, on slow with water or oil, alternatively use a diamond tipped corer again with water. Just take your time and mark the depth carefully.is it easy to drill into Quartz

Apart from the fact I don’t have a router, I don't think I’ll be able to do that with mine because of the irregular shape.I then fitted the waste pipes, stuck it down with silicone and filled the sink to weigh it down whilst it set in place.
