For best results, enlist the help of a professional installer to cut the countertop, install the sink, and connect it. Improper installation will invalidate the warranty. Julien recommends that the sink be installed in such a way that it can be removed without damaging the countertop.
INSTALLATION OF AN UNDERMOUNT SINK PLAN AHEAD Make sure the inside width of the cabinet (side to side) is a minimum of the overall left-to-right sink dimension + 2" to allow for bracket installation. Make sure enough space is left behind the sink for faucet clearance. A printed cutout template is supplied with the sink and a digital format is available online at homerefinements.ca*.

Attention The warranty will be null and void for any damage resulting from an installation that does not comply with these instructions, and Julien will not be held responsible for any costs incurred. In the event of a limited warranty claim, original proof of purchase will be required—save the original sales receipt.
