4. Repeat the above steps to silicone along the top of the backsplash
and wall.
At this time, install your faucet per the manufacturer’s instructions.
You will need a hole saw for your drill. Use a 1-3/8" for kitchen and
1-1/8" for vanity faucet holes or as specied by the faucet vendor.
1. First, determine the location of your faucet. Measure the sink’s
center and mark this point on the countertop behind the sink.
Then, center within the area behind the sink from front to back.
2. Using the proper size hole saw and a drill, carefully drill a hole
through the material.

not install the faucet at this time.
1. It may be necessary to cut your loose backsplash to length. Make sure when cutting with a
miter saw, the blade is sharp and is up to speed. Cut slowly to avoid chipping. Butt seams
are typically used in the corner to transition backsplash 90 degrees.
2.Drytpiecestoensurepropert.
3. Place dime-sized dabs of silicone and then hot melt every 18" or so on the back of the
backsplash pieces.
4. The glue will set relatively quickly so position it in a timely manner.

It is important to seal the area between the backsplash and the countertop from
moisture.
1. Place the two countertop pieces in position, leaving a 3/4" gap between the two.
2. Make sure you have access through a cabinet to reach the under-side of the seam before
completing the caulking part of this step. (NOTE: If you do not have access, it may be
necessary to assemble the seam before moving pieces into nal position on the cabinets.)
3. Install the supplied biscuits in the precut slots.
4. Apply a 1/4" bead of color-matched caulk on the edges of the two pieces of seamed
countertop. Be sure this bead runs the full length of the seam.
5. Carefully slide the pieces together, place the miter bolts in their precut pockets, and
tighten to squeeze joint together.
6. Once the joint is secure and tight, wipe any excess caulk away from countertop.
