Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Atlantic Flexible Fountain Basin. Before using this basin
please take a moment to review this manual. Flexible Fountain Basins create a wrinkle-free,
easily plumbed reservoir for use with engineered stone basins.
Installation
Preparing the Surround
Begin by constructing the wall stone surround for the basin as per manufacturer
instructions. Atlantic's Flexible Basins are designed to work with 12" x 8" x 4" wall stones. The
basin dimensions minimize the number of cuts needed for installation with that size block.
However, they can be used with any brand of wall stone.
The finished space should match the dimensions of the Flexible Basin and measure 15¾"
– 16" in height. Before installing the basin, preparation of the base underneath is essential.
Rake the surface to remove any sharp objects that could puncture the basin, then tamp
to avoid future settling and possible damage. Base must be compacted and level. Sand
or stone screenings can be added to raise or level the base. Underlayment fabric can be
installed below the basin for added protection.
Installing the Flexible Basin
Figure 1
Place the Flexible Basin within the
stone surround, being careful not
to disturb the level base at the
bottom. Starting at the center,
use your hands to smooth out the
basin, working any excess slack
towards the outside edges. Ensure
that the basin is tucked tightly
into all corners, and place some
stones around the top edges of
the Basin to temporarily hold the
basin in place. Begin filling the
basin with water.
As you are filling the basin with
water, continue smoothing out the wrinkles from Basin as you go, making sure
to tuck the basin corners tightly into place. (Figure 1)
Securing the Flexible Basin
Figure 2
To secure the basin, place a
solid bead of masonry adhesive
along the top course of the basin
surround, with a generous dab
also placed in the pre-punched
glue points in the basin flaps
(Figure 2). Then carefully place
the next course of stone, ensuring
that the flaps are pulled tight and
there is no slack in the basin.
