IMPORTANT: Please read through the entire instructions before starting your installation. Failure to follow these
instructions could possibly void the warranty on your countertops. RiverStone Quartz™ countertop warranty does not
cover abuse or accidental damages. The limited warranty covers replacement or repair only. For more information or to

1) Transporting & Handling
1. RiverStone Quartz™ countertops should be stored in original packaging.
2. When handling your countertops, it is important to carry on edge to avoid damage
(Fig.A).
Be careful, RiverStone™ countertops are heavy.
3. The day before installation, the tops should be brought into the room they are to
be installed in. Be sure to allow 24 hours for the countertops to acclimate to room
temperature. Never install cold quartz countertops. Installation kits should always
be stored at room temperature to avoid freezing of the caulks and adhesives.
2) Straighten & Level Cabinets
RiverStone Quartz™ countertops must be mounted to an even surface. Failure to
straighten cabinet will cause stress and possibly damage the tops.
1. Use a 48" level to find any non-level areas
2. Level if possible. If not, mark these areas, so that later in the installation process,
you can shim the countertops to a flat surface.
3) Check & Pre-fit
Do not install countertops that are damaged or if a defect is found. Installation fees are not
covered under the warranty.
1. Measure cabinet run and then the countertop; remember overhangs affect the
length of the top
(Fig.C)
2. Place countertops into position.
3. Dry fit any seams, if applicable, by placing the seamed pieces together.
4. Verify that all edges line up and that the countertop overhangs are the appropriate size.
