INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Step 1: Inspection and Preparation

a. Unpack the countertops and inspect them for any

damage. Make sure the base cabinets are level and

secured to the wall. If installing countertops on an island,

make sure the cabinets are structurally sound and can

support the weight of the countertop.

b. Ensure that the top edges of the cabinets are free from

debris such as glue, caulk, nails, and screws.

c. If you are installing the countertops with

a seam in a

corner, make sure there is bracing on the wall in the corner

at the same height as the top of the cabinets, if there is no

corner cabinet present. (See Fig. 1.)

Step 2: Installation: cutting to size and making a seam

Covossi does not recommend making cuts free hand. You must use a guide to

ensure a straight cut.

a. Measure the distance from the edge of the base cabinet to the longest point of the corner of the planned seam including any desired overhang and circular saw offset (distance from edge of blade to the edge of the saw base/guide. See Fig. 2.) Measure from the finished edge of the Covossi countertop at the back and make a mark for the length on the back edge of the countertop including overhang.

Remove the clamps, and gently tap off the wooden blocks. Any remaining hot glue on the countertops can be removed with a putty knife. Using the orbital sander with 220-grit sandpaper, sand the complete seam area until the excess adhesive and filler is removed and the seam is flush and smooth. (See Fig. 5.) Repeat the sanding with the 400-grit paper until the area has the same sheen as the rest of the countertop. Covossi Solid Surface Countertops have a matte finish.
