Installation & Assembly

Options include installation at
various heights, various undermount
reveals, and various amounts of
forward overhang of the apron front.
The choices made will determine
what type of additional support will
be necessary in the base cabinet.
Presented here are just some of
options and more popular mounting
techniques.
THE STEPS
• Evaluate the style of apron sink being
installed and determine the type of
mounting to be done.
• Keep in mind that unlike other sink
styles which are dropped into a hole in
the countertop, and supported by the
countertop; apron sinks are positioned
through an opening in the front of the
cabinet and supported, only by the cabinet.
• Measure the sink and cabinet in order to
properly prepare the base cabinet.
• Install necessary support braces. Several
types of supports can be customized to
uphold various types of sinks in various
fashions. One typical technique, using 2˝
x 4˝ supports, with or without a plywood
platform, is shown here.
• Place sink in position on the base cabinet
supports.
• Clean the surfaces of the sink and
countertop which will meet, with denatured
alcohol.
• If undermounting the sink, apply a bead of
silicone along the outer edge of the sink
rim in order to form a secure bond with the
countertop.
• Attach the countertop making sure of tight
contact with the sink.
• Re-check that the sink is properly aligned
and level.
• Remove any excess sealant along edges.
