PRIOR TO INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
This product
must be installed by a qualified tradesperson and we would expect the
installation to be undertaken in a tradesperson like manner and finished to a
tradesperson standard. This product carries a full warranty against faulty
workmanship and materials.
Please inspect thoroughly before installation to ensure that the product has
not been damaged and is correct. No claims for damage or incorrect items will
be recognised after installation.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO
DOORS/DRAWERS AFTER INSTALLATION IF REQUIRED.
Please Note: If you cannot find the installation instructions for your
ADP product in this booklet please go to www.adpaustralia.com.au/resources
/installation-technical/ to find applicable instructions.
1. Check Products For Any Damages
Within 48 hours of receiving your goods, unpack your ADP product and check for
any possible freight damages or incorrect items.
Please contact your place of purchase to report damages or missing parts.
No claims for damages will be recognised after installation.
Please note: fixing screws/bolts are not supplied for installation.
2. Positioning & Ventilation
Planning your bathroom furniture placement is critical.
Furniture must be at least 300mm away from any wet areas. Materials used in
the construction of our furntiture units are moisture resistant, not water
proof.
Do not expose furniture to shower spray.
It is important that your bathroom is adequatley ventilated to eliminate
moisture build up.
High humidity will lead to permanent dampness and mould resulting in a
deterioration of the materials in your bathroom.
Water damage is not covered under ADP Warranty.
Good ventilation is important to prevent mould & moisture build up
3. Check for Support Beams
Wall hung furniture & basins require fixing to a support beam fitted
between the studs to give a solid wall backing to attach the vanity to.
If necessary, fix additional support noggins at desired height for cabinet and
basin fixing prior to sheeting the wall.
Ensure total width of support noggin exceeds vanity width.
4. Check for Plumb Walls & Level Floors
Ensure the wall is plumb and straight, ensure floor is level. If you fix the
product to a non-plumb wall or floor the following could happen:
- Your door or drawers will not operate correctly.
- Door or drawers will not align.
- Basins will not sit level, which may cause water to pool or not drain properly.
If it is not possible to make the wall or floor plumb and straight you must
pack the vanity out so that it does not follow the out of aligned wall.
Floor standing vanities must sit on a level floor or be packed so they sit
level and true.
Please note if your vanity is fixed to a bowed wall, the fastening of the
fixings will force your cabinet to twist and benchtop materials may crack due
to increased stress on joins and materials.
5. Check Plumbing Positions Align with Product Interior Configurations.
Take note of clearances behind drawers when considering water supply fittings
inside cabinet.
IMPORTANT TIPS
| ENSURE ALL TILES EXTEND BEHIND AND BENEATH THE BATHROOM FURNITURE.
ADP do not recommend tiling in furniture due to moisture and mould build up
which can damage the material and void the warranty.
---|---
| ALL AREAS WHERE CABINET/TOP MEETS WALL AND/OR FLOOR MUST BE SEALED USING A
NEUTRAL CURE SILICONE.
All edges where vanity top meets cabinet, wall or surrounding furniture must
be sealed with a continuous bead of silicone.
| IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO
DOORS/DRAWERS AFTER INSTALLATION IF REQUIRED.
There may have been some movement in transportation and installation which
causes doors/drawers to become unaligned.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
VANITY INSTALLATION
Which Vanity solution do you have?
STANDARD VANITY
AGAINST WALL OR BETWEEN WALLS
You will need to install a filler, wide filler or infill panel.
For further instructions visit
www.adpaustralia.com.au Including metal
frames, stone benches and petite with rail.
STANDARD VANITY INSTALLATION
1. LOCATION
After completing the Prior to Installation Checklist on page 2, mark the
position of the top of the vanity. Don’t forget to factor in the top/ basin
thickness to get the correct height.
Note: Vanity must attach to a minimum of two support beams, mark these
positions.
2. PREPARING THE CABINET
Remove doors and drawers. Measure correct plumbing loctions and drill holes
for plumbing in the back panel and/or base of the cabinet with an appropriate
sized hole saw. Pre-drill screw locations for fastening to wall as per ‘Step
4’.
3. LEVELING
Position the vanity over the pipes in the correct position and fix with a
single screw in centre of vanity to hold in place.
Check the vanity is completely level.
Wall Hung vanities: You may want use a level support/noggin to assist
while leveling.
Floor Mount Vanities: You may need to pack the vanity to ensure it is
sitting level & square on the floor. See page 8 for instructions to attach
kickboard.
4. SECURING THE CABINET
Securely fasten the vanity to the wall through back of vanity with appropriate
screws/bolts at TOP and BOTTOM of cabinet. Fix the cabinet through the top
left and right hand brackets and evenly space apart the horizontal fixings at
a maximum of 300mm apart. For the bottom start the fixing points no further
than 100mm from each end of the cabinet and no higher than 50mm from the base
panel.
Note: Where a stud or support beam cannot be located, use an
appropriately sized hollow wall anchor. Vanity must attach to a minimum of two
support beams. Ensure fixings clear all water/electrical services in wall.
5. REMOVE TRANSPORTATION BLOCKS
Once cabinet is secured to the wall carefully remove transportation blocks
from the underside of the cabinet (we recommend using a chisel).
IMPORTANT: Before installing drawers, vacuum out drawer runners to ensure
drawer runners are free of any debris as this may effect the operation.
6. FIX TOP / BASIN
Using a non-acidic silicone, apply a continuous bead of silicone to the top
four edges of the vanity and at the back where the top meets the wall.
Position the top so it has equal overhang on each side, ensuring the top
surface is level.
If using a seperate basin, position in place and fully seal the basin to the
top /cabinet using a continuous bead of silicone.
Note: Seal any visible gaps between the cabinet and the top and basin
with continuous bead of silicone.
7. SEALING
Apply non-acidic silicone to all edges where vanity top and cabinet meet the
wall and floor.
Materials used in the construction of this unit are water resistant NOT water
proof, so all areas need to be sealed to prevent water penetration.
Note: Gap sealant can be used in place of silicone where the unit meets
tiled surfaces.
SEE PAGE 8 FOR FINISHING STEPS
AGAINST WALL OR BETWEEN WALLS VANITY INSTALLATION
1. MEASURE YOUR SPACE
For Against Wall installation – measure out distance you need from the
wall to clear any collisions or for un-plumb walls.
For Between Walls installation – measure between wall A & B check that
the cabinet length, depth & height is correct for the space.
2. GO TO PAGE 4
SEE STANDARD VANITY INSTALLATION AND FOLLOW STEPS 1 TO 5
Scan to watch a quick video with some handy tips on how to install a filler or
infill panel
3. MEASURE YOUR FILLER/INFILL GAP
3a. Remove doors and/or drawers.
3b. Measure the gap between the cabinet and wall, measure the top and the
bottom in case your wall is out of square. Repeat for both sides if your
cabinet is between walls.
4. MARK YOUR FILLER/INFILL PANEL
Your filler/infill panel is most likely 100mm x 16mm, so you may need to plane
the filler panel down to fit/fill the gap or if your walls are not plumb.
Mark these measurements on the front edge of your filler/infill panel and use
a straight edge to scribe a line down the whole filler.
5. PLANE DOWN THE PANEL
5a. Setup the filler, ensuring the part needed is face down.
5b. Using an electric planer, plane down the panel to the scribed line.
6. PRE-DRILL HOLES
Pre-drill holes through the end panel of your carcass at the top and bottom.
Repeat on both sides if your cabinet is going between walls.
7. SECURE THE FILLER/INFILL PANELS
7a. Place the panels into the gaps and set them either flush with the cabinet
or door front.
7b. Secure panels by screwing into place through the pre-drilled holes.
SEE PAGE 8
FOR FINISHING STEPS
WIDE INFILL PANLES
Use a wide infill panel when the drawer will not clear an architrave or obstruction. Eg. a towel rail.
DETACHABLE KICKBOARD INSTALLATION
1. JOIN SIDE PANELS
Join each side panel with rear panel. Use a phillips head screw driver to
fasten the cam-locks clockwise into the pre-drilled holes.
2. JOIN FRONT PANEL
Attach and fasten the front panel to each side panel.
Ensure all cam-locks are fastened.
Note: The cam-locks should be pointing directly up on the front and rear
panel.
3. ATTACH CENTRE SUPPORT (FOR LARGER UNITS)
For larger units (1200mm and bigger), insert the centre support panel supplied
and secure all cams.
Your kickboard is now assembled.
4. REMOVE BLOCKS & JOIN KICKBOARD TO VANITY
Carefully lay vanity unit on its back on a flat surface and remove
transportation blocks from the underside of the cabinet (we recommend using a
chisel). Using the pre-drilled holes at the base of the unit as a guide,
insert the cam-locks at the top of the kicboard and fasten to vanity unit.
Note: The cam-locks should be pointing up on the front and rear panel.
FINISHING STEPS
ADJUST DOORS & DRAWERS
Vacuum out drawer runners to ensure drawer runners are free of any debris.
Install drawers and doors back onto cabinet and make adjusments to align the
doors and drawers correctly. See pages 8 -13 for instructions.
NOTE: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS
TO DOORS AFTER INSTALLATION.
Don’t forget to remove the transportation blocks on the underside of the
cabinet!
CLEANING
Clean all building residue from the cabinet. Dry any spillage or leakage of
water on or inside the cabinet during installation.
IMPORTANT: Vacuum out drawer runners to ensure drawer runners are free of
any debris as this may effect the operation.
For vanity care and maintenance see page 14.
FITTING AN OVERFLOW
Important Assembly Notes
- Pre-assemble kits and fit to basin prior to mounting on cabinet. This will make flange and elbow adjustment easier.
(Cutting the hose to size should not be required. Never cut on serrations)
- When connecting hose to elbow and flange carefully align ends and insert fully.
- Rotate elbow and flange to eliminate low points where water can gather and avoid major kinks that stop water flow.
- Ensure hose does not obstruct basin placement on cabinet.
Aligning the overflow kit flange with waste overflow holes is critical to
prevent leaking. The Universal Plug & Waste kit is designed for overflow
alignment.
An ADP Universal Plug & Waste is required when installing overflow kits. By
not using this waste you risk voiding the warranty.
See page 12 for Universal Plug & Waste instructions.
FITTING ABOVE COUNTER BASINS
Note: Basin replacement in the future is an important factor to consider
when fixing and sealing basins.
By limiting silicon application as per instructions allows basin removal
without damage to benchtops.
Apply 20mm silicon dots to hold basin in place, limit to 3 fixing points to
enable future basin removal.
DO NOT apply a bed of silicon to fix basin to benchtop as this will make it
difficult in the future to replace basin.
Once basin is in final position and plumbing is finished, put a bead of silicon around the edge to seal and fix in place.
MIRRORED SHAVING CABINET INSTALLATION
Note: If you are installing a light or PowerPoint with your mirrored shaving
cabinet make sure you consult with your electrician before installing. If the
cabinet has easy link brackets please follow the instructions on page 7.
1. POSITION CABINET & LEVEL
- Place cabinet on flat surface to remove mirrored doors. Remove doors and place flat on soft surface with mirrors facing up to avoid damages.
- Locate support beams and position unit in desired location and check all sides are sitting level.
- Mark the position of the cabinet on all four corners of cabinet
Note: Damage during installation is not covered under ADP warranty.
2. SECURING THE CABINET
Securely fasten cabinet to the wall through back with appropriate screws/bolts
at TOP and BOTTOM of cabinet. Evenly space apart the horizontal fixings at a
maximum of 300mm apart.
Note: Where a stud or support beam cannot be located, use an
appropriately sized hollow wall anchor.
3. SEALING
Apply non-acidic silicone to all edges where cabinet meets the wall.
Note: Gap sealant can be used in place of silicone where the unit meets
tiled surfaces.
4. ADJUST DOORS

Care & Maintenance Guide
Tips
- ADP products are produced from materials that are well suited to the bathroom, however it is important that your bathroom has sufficient ventilation to avoid excessive moisture. High humidity will lead to permanent dampness and mould, resulting in deterioration of the materials.
- Care must always be taken to dry any excessive moisture or water spillage.
Cabinets
- To maintain the finish on your cabinet use only a soft cloth and weak solution of non abrasive detergent.
- To remove scratches, marks, etc. on two pack polyurethane, rub gently with car cutting compound, car polish or household brass/silver cleaner.
- Goods used in construction are water/moisture-resistant, but not water-proof.
- All cabinets should be installed at least 300mm away from showers or bathtubs to avoid water damage.
Cast Marble & Acrylic
- To maintain the finish on your Cast Marble or Acrylic top use only a soft cloth and weak solution of non-abrasive detergent.
- To remove scratches, marks, etc. rub gently with car cutting compound, car polish or household brass/silver cleaner.
Ceramic Basins & Tops
- To maintain the finish on your ceramic top use only a soft cloth and weak solution of non abrasive detergent.
- Due to the glazed surface of ceramic tops, scratches cannot be repaired or removed.
- Due to ceramic being a handcrafted product that is fired at high temperatures, some visual distortion may occur. This is not a defect but can be seen to add to the beauty of the product.
Solid Surface, Cherry Pie, Durasein, Caesarstone
-
Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or sponge.
-
For basic stains clean with mild detergents. For gloss and semi-gloss surfaces you can use a non abrasive polish or Brasso.
For matte surface use a scourer pad or scotch bright to maintain the matte finish. -
Cherry Pie, Durasein and Caesarstone benchtops have excellent heat and chemical resistant properties compared to other surfacing products, however to preserve the surface and protect against damage from heat, do not place hot items directly on the surface. Even though Cherry Pie, Durasein and Caesarstone can withstand high temperatures, prolonged periods or extreme heat can cause permanent damage.
Mirrors
FOR BEST RESULTS
Use a slightly moistened microfibre cloth to remove dry dirt or grime, then
buff clean with dry microfibre cloth or use a soft dry cloth with a tight
weave (which is more soft and non-abrasive). This will leave you with a clean,
smear-free finish. By using alkaline (ammonia) or acid (vinegar) based
products you not only risk damaging the silvered backing of the mirror, but
also tend to leave behind streaks and smears.
DO NOT
Do Not use ammonia-based cleaning products such as glass cleaner. These may
erode the mirror’s silver backing. Be sure to read the label of any such
cleaning products before use.
PROTECTION AGAINST ‘BLACK-SPOTTING’
Alkaline, acid and moisture elements can cause the silvered backing of a
mirror to darken, this is usually referred to as ‘black-spotting’. An easy way
to protect your mirror against black-spotting is to regularly oil any exposed
edges (i.e. polished or bevelled edges), using non-petrolium based oils (eg.
sewing machine oil). This will act as a seal to protect against such elements.
Always remember to keep your mirror dry and wipe off any water, moisture or
steam.
If you cannot identify basin, top or cabinet material of your product, contact
your merchant or see product information at
www.adpaustralia.com.au.
Let’s talk bathroom ventilation
Good bathroom ventilation will save you thousands of dollars and keep your
family healthy – mould can be a huge problem in bathrooms if they’re not
properly ventilated.
We’ve broken down everything you need to know about ventilation with a handy
guide.
https://l.ead.me/bbx05s
Scan to watch a quick 3 minute video with our top bathroom care and maintenance tips to ensure you get years longer out of your bathroom products!
Why ventilation is so important
It’s crucial to have the best ventilation possible for your bathroom as
moisture can be the root of all wet area products breaking down and failing,
in particular your vanity and mirror. These products are usually water
resistant not waterproof so it’s important moisture does not build up which
will mean your products will last longer, saving you money!
Good ventilation is also key to achieve lower humidity in the room which will
minimize bacteria growth and prevent mould and mildew. You’ll have less mildew
on your grout, walls and ceilings, and fewer mould spores to threaten your
respiratory health.
So why wouldn’t you keep your bathroom well ventilated!
Signs of poor ventilation
The earliest sign to look out for is black spotting on mirrors.
When the steam or humidity rises to the top of the room and ventilation is not
sufficient, the mirror (which is normally positioned high up in the room) is
the first thing to steam up. Over time, this causes damage to the mirror that
appears as black spots or corrosion which cannot be reversed.
Other signs might include paint starting to flake on the ceiling, bubbling of
paint coatings on fixtures, and furniture swelling.
Evidence of mould or mildew is also a good indicator that your ventilation is
not adequate.
How to achieve good ventilation
The best sign that your ventilation is sufficient is that the mirror doesn’t
steam up and the tiled walls aren’t wet.
The best way to achieve this is to have a good exhaust fan that is correctly
sized for the space, to do this you need approximately 50 cfm per toilet and
50cfm per shower or bath. The fan should be installed to exhaust air into a
duct that directs the air outdoors, not into your walls. Using the wall joists
to guide exhaust air can result in moisture and mould problems in the walls.
Run the fan every time water is being used in the bathroom and run it for
around 15 minutes after you shower.
If you have a bathroom window, opening that daily (even in the chilly winter
months) in addition to using the exhaust fan will help to keep your bathroom
fresh and mould-free. We hope you enjoy your well ventilated, mould-free
bathroom for many years to come!
A note about your vanity top or basin
I’m unique
Thank you for purchasing our product. We just wanted to let you know a few
things about your new product.
Your vanity top or basin is a handcrafted product that has endured high
temperatures during the manufacturing process, some size variation and visual
distortion is to be expected. This is not a defect but can be seen to add to
the aesthetics of the product.
Due to the nature of the manufacturing process, every item is unique. Please
be assured that slight surface variances and size tolerances are normal. We
have a thorough quality control process that ensures the finished product
meets quality guidelines and is as close to the nominal specifictaions as
possible.
Here at ADP, we take pride in delivering quality products and are committed to
a sustainable future.
Please take care
So you can enjoy your vanity top/basin for many years to come, care must be
taken.
Some materials are more heat and scratch/chip resistant than others, to
