Cabinet and Supporting Frame Construction
1. Starting off, confirm your cabinet it level.
Measure the height of your sink, and use that as the guide to the placement of your sink support system inside the cabinetry.
The cabinet opening should equal the maximum sink width to ensure a minimum gap between the sink and the cabinet. Allow adequate clearance for the pipes between the support
2. Support
Position the support frame in the cabinet opening so that when installed, the top of the sink will be level and flush with the top of the cabinet.
Install your support system, ensuring it is level. Secure the support frame to the cabinet. Position the securing hardware to allow for easy removal should the sink need to be removed or replaced.
3. Placement
Place your Sink on the cabinet support with the front protruding. Apron style:- It is recommend the sink extends 30 to 50mm beyond the front of the cabinet, but this is only for aesthetic reasons, and it at your discretion.
On some styles you can rotate the basin as there are 2 facings to get the look you want.
Measure the width of the sink from the top edging.
Locate and cut out the waste outlet clearance hole in the support.
The hole diameter must clear the garbage disposal mounting system, if used.
* Please note as ceramic is a material that is subject to variations of +/- 3% this is normal and acceptable tolerance. Never construct cabinetry without first measuring your actual purchased sink as each sink will vary.
Should you not have the sink on site ready for installation, make allowances to add filler strips and spacers to the cabinet opening after the frame and before the sink is installed.
Ensure the sink is on site to get the perfect fit.
