INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont...)
Apron Sinks
Options include installation at various heights,
various undermount reveals, and various
amounts of forward overhang of the apron front.
The choices made will determine what type of
additional sup-port will be necessary in the base
cabinet. Presented here are just some of options
and more popular mounting techniques.
THE STEPS
Evaluate the style of apron sink being installed,
and determine the type of mounting to be done.
Keep in mind that unlike other sink styles which
are dropped into a hole in the countertop, and
supported by the countertop; apron sinks are
positioned through an opening in the front of the
cabinet and supported, only by the cabinet.
APRON MOUNTING STYLES
EXAMPLE:
UNDERMOUNT
WITH POSITIVE
REVEAL
Measure the sink and cabinet in order to properly
prepare the base cabinet.
Install necessary support braces. Several types of
supports can be customized to uphold various types
of sinks in various fashions. One typical technique,
using 2˝ x 4˝ supports, with or without a plywood
platform, is shown above.
Place sink in position on the base cabinet supports.
Clean the surfaces of the sink and countertop which
will meet, with denatured alcohol. If undermounting
the sink, apply a bead of silicone along the outer
edge of the sink rim in order to form a secure bond
with the countertop. Attach the countertop making
sure of tight contact with the sink. Re-check that the
sink is properly aligned and level. Remove any excess
sealant along edges.
