Preparation
IMPORTANT – ARE YOU INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT?
Please READ the installation instructions in this booklet BEFORE INSTALLATION.
Newtech recommends that a qualified tradesperson install this product and that
it is installed to a professional standard, by this instruction booklet.
Failing to do so may void the warranty. This product carries a full warranty
against faulty workmanship and materials. Please inspect for damage before
installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to make any
adjustments to doors/drawers after installation if required.
POSITIONING & VENTILATION
- The floor needs to be level and the wall straight.
- A gap of at least 150mm needs to be left between a bath and a vanity unit.
- Do not expose the vanity unit to shower spray.
- A water barrier, e.g. a glass shower panel needs to be between any vanity unit and shower
- The bathroom must be adequately ventilated as high humidity can lead to deterioration of materials.
CHECK SUPPORT NOGS
Wall-hung furniture and wall-hung ceramic basins require fixing to support nogs fitted between the studs, as detailed, to give a solid wall backing to attach the vanity. If necessary fix additional support nogs at a desired height for cabinet and basin fixing. Ensure the total width of the support nog exceeds the vanity width. Refer to step 6b ‘fixing basins’
ENSURE WALLS ARE PLUMB AND FLOORS ARE LEVEL
Ensure the Wall is plumb and straight, and ensure the floor is level. If
you fix the product to a non-plumb wall or floor the following will happen:
- Your door or drawers will not operate correctly
- Door or drawer adjustments will not align.
- Basins will not sit level, which may cause water to pool or not drain correctly
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 to sit level and true.
CHECK PLUMBING POSITIONS PROPERLY ALIGN
Measure and mark the cabinet for the location of waste and hot/cold water
supply. Drill from the inside of the cabinet using an appropriately sized hole
saw.
Note: If your product has any electrical fittings please allow for this and talk to your electrician.
Vanity Unit Installation
PREPARE THE CABINET
Remove doors & drawers 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 the wall – see p6.
TAP HOLE
StoneCast Stab Tops require a tap hole to be drilled. We recommend using a
Blue-Mole 35mm hole saw. Ensure to drill the hole from the top of the basin.
MEASURE UP
Mark the position of the top of the vanity – factor in the top/ basin
thickness to get the correct height. Use a single screw in the center of the
vanity, or use some support stands to hold the cabinet in place, ready for
installation.
LEVEL THE VANITY
Note: Floor standing vanities should likewise, be checked for sitting level, plumb and square, and suitably packed to achieve this. Fix the wall through the L bracket installed on the cabinet and then ensure solid fixing along the upper back.
SECURE THE CABINET
Cabinet Mounting Brackets require solid fixing (145 x 45mm) behind the wall
surface. It must be capable of anchoring 35mm length with a 12g Screw Thread
centered 75mm down from the proposed top of cabinet height (see detail B).
Note: The Frank vanity has a full-height back, installation requires a screw
through the L bracket provided on the vanity. The vanity basin top will sit
above this height). Each bracket supports up to 100kg. NOTE: Cabinets require
additional fixing points evenly spaced at 300mm along the top edge of the back
(see detail C).
Vanity Unit Installation Continued…
FITTING THE WASTE
When installing a waste, be wary not to overighten, as doing so can cause the
ceramic to crack. Make sure to use appropriate waste for the basin. Basins
fitted with an overflow require an overflowing waste. Basins without overflow
should not have overflow waste fitted, as this can cause leaking. Ensure that
no excess silicone or putty is obstructing the water flow.
FIXING THE BASIN
Position the top so that it has an equal amount of overhang on each side and
use a level to ensure the vanity top surface is level.
Note: If the vanity is being installed in a corner, a packing strip is required and basin location will vary.
FIXING THE BASIN
Apply Silicone Sealant (not included) to all four corners of the cabinet.
Place the vanity top/basin onto the cabinet. If installing a basin with wall
bolt fixings – ensure basin bolts are fixed into nogs with supplied fixings as
well as use a silicone sealant to the top edge of the cabinet.
SEAL
Apply silicone on the seam between the edge of the vanity top and the wall,
smooth the bead, and allow it to cure before use. Materials used for the
construction of this unit are water resistant and not waterproof. A fine bead
of sealant (specifically formulated for bathrooms) must be used to seal edges
where water penetration can occur i.e. Between the basin and the cabinet and
between the wall and floor of the cabinet.
CLEAN
Clean away all building residue from the cabinet. Take care to dry any
spillage or leakage of water on or inside the cabinet during installation.
Note: Ensure drawer runners are free of building residue as this may affect
the operation.
INSTALLATION NOTE
During the installation of larger vanities ie. 1200 & 1500mm wide, please
ensure the top rail is straight. To ensure this stays straight and secure
please use a small amount of glue/silicone to secure the basin during
installation.

Troubleshooting
Product Care
Newtech products are produced from materials that are well suited to the bathroom. Our vanities are designed to be water resistant, not waterproof. Your bathroom must be adequately 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. Please ensure care is taken that vanities are not exposed to large amounts of continuous water as this can lead to damage and is not covered under our Warranty on page 10.
VANITY INSET BASINS – STONECAST & VITREOUS CHINA
Newtech vanity tops and basins are manufactured from the finest materials and
when treated with care will last for many years. Do not subject the basin or
vanity top to water at a temperature above 55°C. Keep high heat away from the
vanity top or wash basin and avoid metal or other sharp objects which could
scratch and damage the surface. A simple wipe-over with a damp cloth after use
is all that’s required. If you need to use household cleaners do not use
strong citrus-based cleaners, abrasive cleaners, chemicals, disinfectants,
acetone, alcohol, or cleaners that incorporate isopropyl alcohol. Carefully
read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is safe for use on the
material. The use of cleaners containing harmful ingredients (as identified
above) will void Newtech’s warranty. Limescale marks may be reduced by regular
cleaning of the washbasin. *Handy Tip – Stubborn limescale marks can normally
be removed using a solution of vinegar and water.
Ceramic Tops – Newtech Vitreous China Basins are handcrafted and fired at high
temperatures, which can lead to visual imperfections and distortions. This all
being part of the vitreous China experience, a 5mm tolerance is considered an
acceptable quality definition of conformity. StoneCast Tops – Our composite
StoneCast basins and slab tops are constructed by combining natural minerals
with high-performance resins creating an increased resistance. StoneCast
products are moulded into precise designs creating clean, straight lines and
edges with no natural imperfections.
CABINETRY, HETTICH HARDWARE, HANDLES & ACCESSORIES
Our products are manufactured from high-quality materials in an easy-to-clean
laminate finish (Vista Range). All materials used are water resistant but not
waterproof unless stated. All water spillages, leaks, or flooding in or around
the cabinet must be sponged off and dried immediately – this includes
condensation. Keep heat away from the vanity and avoid metal or other sharp
objects that could damage or scratch the surfaces. Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents that contain ammonia, bleach, or other strong solvents. We
also advise against the use of furniture polish, acetone, ethanol, benzene,
and coarse cleaning sponges. Carefully read the cleaner product label to
ensure the cleaner is safe for use on the material. For regular cleaning, we
recommend cleaning with a soft cloth and wrung in hot water with a mild all-
purpose cleaning agent.
