1) Transporting & Handling
1. Corinthian countertops should be stored in original packaging and transported on edge
or vertical position to avoid damage until installation. Carrying them in a horizontal position
will cause stress and possible damage.
2. Be sure to allow 24 hours for the countertops to acclimate to room temperature. Never
install cold or hot solid surface countertops. The day before installation the tops should
be brought into the room they are to be installed in.
1.Usea48"leveltondanynon-levelareas.
2. Level if possible. If not, mark these areas, so later in the installation process you can shim
the countertops to a level position.
Failure to level will cause stress and will possibly damage the countertops.
1. Visually inspect your countertops to ensure each piece is the proper size and is free of
defect. Measure the cabinet run and then the countertop to ensure accuracy.
2. With help, slowly position the countertop above the mounting surface as the
picture illustrates. (FigA)
3. Gradually tip the countertop to a horizontal position. Be aware of upper cabinets and
sinks if applicable.
4.Drytanyseams,ifapplicable,byplacingtheseamedpiecestogether.
Scribing the countertop to match the contour of the wall will be necessary if a gap between
the countertop and wall exceeds the material being applied to the wall.
1. Place the countertop in position. Mark with a pencil directly on the countertop. Any
irregularities in the wall that create a gap or a void.
2. Move the countertop to a sturdy work area, such as a set of saw horses, and use a belt
sander to remove the excess countertop material up to, but not past, your pencil mark.
3. Place the countertop back into position and repeat this process as needed. Repeat this
process for all individual pieces of your countertop.
