Installation Instructions

(NOTE: Hammer and small block of wood required)
Place vanity top in place and fasten (Fig. 6.) using 3 1-1/4" black drywall screws through
the build-up strips (using longer screws will result in puncturing the surface of the vanity
top). Shims may be required if vanity are not level.
Q - How should laminate vanity top be stored prior to installation?
A - Whenever possible, store your vanity top horizontally and as at as possible. Try to keep them in a warm/dry area. After dry-tting the
pieces (laying out together and inspecting), put the pieces back in their protective packaging until installation. Avoid storing vanity tops
in garages or basements.
Q - Can laminate vanity tops have hot appliances such as a at iron laid on them?
A - While contemporary laminates do have durable nishes, you should not lay any utensils warmer than approximately 250℉ on the
countertop for an extended period of time.
Q - Are build-up strips necessary for installation in every instance?
A - Yes. Our vanity tops are 3/4" thick with a 3/4" build-down front edge. If you were not to use build-up strips, your front edge would hang
down over the vanity drawers or doors. Build-up strips also provide support for your tops and attachment points from vanity to tops.
Q - If my walls are out of square, do I need my vanity top to be cut out of square as well?
A - If your walls are 1/2" or less out of square, simply sanding the scribe or back of the vanity top to the contour of your walls will provide
a snug fit. If walls are more out of square, it may be necessary for you to use a loose backsplash to cover the gap between the back of
the tops and the wall.
