Step-by-step instruction

  1. Mark the sink. To do this, use a particular cardboard template included with the sink or the sink itself.

If there is no particular template, the sink must be turned upside down and put in place.

Next, you need to align the sink and trace the outer contour of the sink with a pencil or marker.

After that, you need to measure the width of the sink side and then shift the contour line inward by the width of the bead.

  1. Cut out a hole for the sink. Be sure to start drilling from the front side so as not to rip off a large area at the exit of the drill. The width of the hole should be such that the jigsaw file goes inside.

  1. Remove dust from the cut and try to insert the sink into the resulting hole. Correct the sinkhole if you cannot insert it. After that, the open edges of the cut must be covered with a thick layer of silicone sealant so that during the operation of the sink, no water got there.
  2. If the set for the sink includes tape seals, install them on the inner side of the sink rim and, with an indent from the edge of 1–2 mm, seal the inner rim of the sink with silicone sealant. Let the silicone dry, leaving the product for 30-40 minutes.
  3. Place the sink in the hole.
