Installing a freestanding basin
Although it's a little more technical than a built-in basin, these steps will help you to easily install a freestanding basin.
Installation guide
You will need
Hole saw with Ø 35 and Ø 45 bits
Silicone gun, spanner (tool)
Spanner
Screwdriver
Tape measure
Pencil
Carpenter's square
Step 1
Measure to perfectly position the basin and taps
Using a carpenter's square, a measuring tape and a pencil, make the marks you will use to position the basin and tap. Then place the basin on the markings to check that it is in the right position. Use the hole in the basin to position the final mark where the cut will be made. Repeat the same operation, this time with the tap. Check its position in relation to the basin and draw around it. Position the taps to ensure that everything passes through: pay attention to the bottom crosspiece for the water inlets! Next, mark the position of the tap with a wooden pencil.
Step 2
Drill the holes
Once you've confirmed all the positioning, use a hole saw to drill a hole in the top, perpendicular to the water drain, you need a 45 diameter for the basin and 35 diameter for the tap.
Step 3
Install the basin
Apply a silicone seal under the basin to fix it more easily, then position it on the top. Once correctly positioned, apply pressure.
Step 4
Install the taps
Once the tap, siphon and drain have been installed, connect the tap to the water supply and the siphon to the drain. That's it!
