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.
- Wipe down any excess silicone with a soft wet cloth.
Semi-Inset / Inset Basins
- Using a non-acidic silicone, apply a continuous bead of silicon around the entire basin cut-out in the benchtop.
- Place semi-inset or inset basin into benchtop cut-out and press down firmly into positioning in place.
- Wipe down any excess silicone with a soft wet cloth.
Under-Counter Basins
Please note: if buying a benchtop and vanity from ADP, your ADP under- counter basin will come already installed.
-
Lay the benchtop down on a flat surface, with the underside facing up.
-
Place under-counter basin in position at the cut-out. With a marker, mark the outside of the basin so it easy to position in the next steps.
Note: if using basin mixer, ensure there is enough room at the back or side of the basins for the basin mixer fixing to be tightened. -
Using a non-acidic silicone, apply a continuous bead of silicon around the entire basin cut-out between the cut-out and the marked basin edge.
-
Place basin down in position on the silicon, using the marked line to guide you. When available use under-mount basin clips for best support (ADP do not supply).
-
Let dry face down for 48hrs (or longer in colder climates). Once dry, flip benchtop over and install on vanity cabinet.
-
Wipe down any excess silicone with a soft wet cloth.
