Specification

1. Prepare the sink base cabinet
Farmhouse sinks require custom order sink base cabinets with a front
cutout to accommodate a 10’’ deep sink. Build structural supports on the
inside frame of the sink base cabinet. The structural supports must
support the weight of the sink and any attachments such as garbage
disposals. When the sink is placed onto the cabinet support, make sure
the top of the sink is evenly flush against the bottom of the countertop.
Allow clearance for water supply line and drains or garbage disposal, as
necessary.
2. Make template and cutout
Depending on the installation option, make proper cutout of the
countertop. LORDEAR recommends a 1/4’’ reveal on 3 sides when
installed under mount style. For a flush mount or above counter
installation, cut countertop along with outside of sink profile. Front end of
LORDEAR Farmhouse sinks are designed to be installed 3/4’’ extended out
beyond the front end of the countertop. Cut countertop accordingly. No
template is provided due to the custom nature of each application and
installation. The actual sink is used as the template guide for each
installation. After centering the sink and allowing for faucets and
backsplashes, use a pencil to outline the sinks as your guide for the cutout,
allowing for any reveal before the actual cutting.
3. Set the sink
Set the sink on top of the cabinet or into the cabinet front cutout. Apply
sealant if necessary as a gasket between the sink and cabinet.
4. Install the countertop
Carefully clean bottom of countertop and top flange of sink with denatured
alcohol. Apply bead of silicone adhesive (not supplied) around the top edge of
the sink. Place countertop onto the sink. Recommended by manufacture of
adhesive sealant.
