Helpful Tips
Color-Matched Caulk — Used as color match nishing caulk to seal area where
loose backsplash meets the vanity top or where the vanity top meets the wall.
We have taken extra steps to package the end splash, helping to ensure that it arrives free from damage. Inspect the vanity
top as soon as possible and prior to any tear out of existing vanity top at the job site. This inspection should take place within
twenty-four hours of pick up. Do not store materials outside or in locations where they may be exposed to water or high
humidity. Installation of a vanity top thought to be either defective or have dimensional error does not extend your warranty to
include installation or reimbursement and may void your warranty. The limited warranty covers replacement or repair only. See
laminate warranty on back of instruction sheet.

Check all dimensions, and test-t for proper t and alignment. Any problems should be addressed now to avoid larger
ones later. Take care in removing existing vanity tops (if necessary) so as not to damage the vanity, plumbing, or
electrical wiring.
1A) Frameless Vanities
1. Check to see if the vanity is are level. Adjust vanity if possible, shims may be required
later if vanity can not be adjusted.
2. Measure the width of the build down stick next to the endcap located on the underside of
the vanity top (Fig. 1).
3. Measure in from the end of the vanity the distance of the build down stick plus 1/4" a n d
mark (Fig. 2). Pre-drill the front and back of the build-up strip where it will fasten to
the vanity. Then pre-drill an additional 3 holes of equal distance in the
middle of the build-up strip for screw installation into the bottom of the vanity top. Install
using 1-1/4" drywall screws at marked spots.
4. If applicable, Install a build-up strip on either side of the joint where two vanity meet,
making sure to leave enough room for installation of screws from the bottom
into the vanity top.
5. When installing build-up strips on sink base, measure the opening for the sink to verify
that the build up strip is installed far enough away not to impede the installation of the
sink.
