Installing a Semi-Recessed Vessel Sink
Installing a Semi-Recessed Vessel Sink
- Place sink in desired location, mark drain and outer edge of sink.
- Remove sink from counter and draw a new line 1/2"-3/4" inside outer edge of sink; this will be your cutout. Cut a hole in the vanity top of an appropriate size to allow the sink to rest at a level that leaves a portion of the sink above the vanity top. In this case the skirted rim sits on the counter.
- Apply a small bead of neutral cure silicone to the recessed edge of the sink and secure to countertop. Do not use plumber’s putty!
- Place the sink onto the desired location and allow clear silicone to cure.
