Installation & Assembly
E. APRON FRONT SINK INSTALLATION:
1. Make a template and cutout. For built-up mount, cut countertop along
the outside line of basin prole. After centering the basin and allowing for
faucets, handles and backsplashes, use a pencil to outline the basin as your
guide for the cut-out, allowing for any reveal (if desired) before the actual cutting.
Depending on the installation type, make proper cut-out in the countertop.
2. Create a custom support using 2x4’s that will adequately hold the weight
of the sink from underneath. We highly recommend using a professional
installer to install your Native Trails sink.
3. Place the sink on top of cabinet or into the cabinet front cut-out.
Apply silicone as a gasket between sink and cabinet.
4. Apply a bead of silicone around top edge of sink. Place countertop on the sink.
Make sure that it is centered properly. Remove any excess silicone from
the lip or any surfaces.
5. Install the drain according to the drain’s installation instructions. When cleaning
up after installation do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch and
alter the sink surface and nish. Use warm water, a soft cloth and a non-abrasive
soap (such as dish soap) to clean the surface. Refer to Care and Maintenance
Instructions for further information.
