Before Installation

1. Making the sink cut-out in the
countertop.
Cut hole
The cut-out made in the countertop should be 2mm.
smaller all round than the inner size of the sink. For CNC
operation the hole must be made in accordance with the
template included in the sink packaging.
2. Polishing the sink cut-out.
Cleaning the interior of the countertop with a hand
radial drilling machine is ideal to enable the operator to
check for any flaws which may hinder any direct contact
between the countertop and the sink.

Bevel 2-3 mm
Area to be cleaned
A bevel of 2-3mm. must be made in the underside of the
countertop to serve as a bonding line with the sink and
make the joint appear less noticeable.
3. Cleaning the parts to be bonded.
The two parts which are to be bonded (worktop and
the sink) should be thoroughly cleaned with solvents
or alcohol before applying the silicone; otherwise the
silicone will not bond correctly and the countertop and
sink will not be sealed properly. Make sure that the
silicone is colour coordinated where possible.
