Due to the manufacturing process of Laminate and Quartz the cut outs are not included. If solid surface has been purchased with a factory installed sink the cut out will be included.
Templates are available for all materials and are shipped directly to your door. They help you avoid costly mistakes by allowing you to verify all aspects of your design and make any changes needed prior to your countertop being produced.
