Installation of Steel Queen

SURELL BY FORMICA

CORIAN BY DUPONT

For all other polymer based materials, or natural stone countertops,

• Steel Queen undermount sinks have a highly polished sink rim. To highlight this unique design

feature, our installation system reveals up to 3/8" of the sink rim.

• Kindred accepts no liability for damage to the solid surface countertop, or sink fixture, during

installation.

• Inspect the sink fixture for any shipping damage, prior to installation. Do not install a damaged unit.

• Aesthetics are essential to presentation of the installed sink unit. Take the necessary care to ensure

that the exposed silicone joint is kept to a minimum, the sink is properly aligned to the cut-out, and

excess silicone is cleaned from the sink.
