Fitting the Vanity Top and Sink

Ernie Wernecke of Princeton Custom Cabinetry is back to show Bob how the vanity top is customized to accommodate a bulging wall. Wernecke scribes then sands the back edge of the vanity countertop so that it will fit snugly against the wall before receiving the backsplash. Bob points out that gaps could be hidden with the backsplash, but Wernecke explains that the undermount sink already touches the front rail of the cabinet. If the vanity top were pushed forward by the bulge, it would keep the vanity doors from closing completely. Wernecke sands the vanity counter and sets it in place, making it ready for the backsplash. Bob remarks that once installed the full wall mirror will hide any gaps between the backsplash and the wall.

And obviously you've already slid it into place so the side walls were not too big -- problem piano. There were fairly decent than. We did a preliminary cut on the top so that we could center the sink. Have the sink on already because this is an undermount debt so that when we slip the top into fit it. We know that the sink will clear all obstructions right to -- with a friend into the sink to be Bob yet butting into the front frame. And also you don't want to have to be mounting the sink after you've already installed the countertop and because then it's kind of like being a mechanic down -- yes. What about this the seems to be either there's a bulge in the wall right yes we have we found we had a nasty little bulge in the wall. So the only way to take care of that is described it. Why can't you just hide it with your backsplash. Well we can. -- But in this case we want to get them nice fit. We noticed that the front of the sink is touching the front rail of the cabinet and -- it pulls it out your doors will never yet so the doors wouldn't sit flat. All right so all you do then is scribe here right yes we normally we take a pencil and where the gap ends here. We scribe it. And just run it along past the bulge.

Choosing Your Kitchen Sink

Here's another great tip from BobVila.com. Kitchen sinks have come a long way from the wash basins of yesteryear. With so many to choose from, how do you decide which one is right for you? First, consider your countertop material. With laminate countertops, you ll need a top-mount or drop-in sink. If you re installing stone, composite or solid surface countertops, you could consider an undermount sink for a sleeker look and easy cleaning. Most solid surface manufacturers offer flush-mounted or integral kitchen sinks in the same material as their countertops for a seamless transition and a clean, modern look. Once you ve determined how you ll mount the sink, decide what it should be made of. To coordinate with appliances, stainless steel is a very popular and durable option. Cast-iron sinks glazed in porcelain offer a variety of colors to go with your d cor. Acrylic sinks also come in colors and are very affordable and easy to install, but they can be damaged by hot pans or boiling water. Solid surface sinks are great for durability with a modern aesthetic. For a more historic patina, consider a farmhouse or apron sink or invest in copper, zinc or soapstone. How big should you buy? Measure the width of your sink cabinet. If you have the room, consider a three-bowl sink of varying depths. It s very handy to have separate spaces for food prep, dishes and the garbage disposal. Be sure you factor in holes for all the accessories that will make your sink a more useful tool: strainers, cutting boards and dispensers for soap and filtered water.

Installing Corian Countertops and Sink

Bob is with Andrea Johnson from Corain as Scott Lawyer of Solid Surfacetops arrives to install the shop-fabricated Corian countertops in the Punta Gorda kitchen. This counter features an integral sink that is attached to the counter by the fabricator in his shop. The seam between the sink and counter is made with liquid Corian that forms an impermeable and invisible seam between the sink and the counter. These integral sinks have no edge or grunge line, which makes for easy cleaning and a sleek look. The Canyon color chosen by the homeowners is dark, like the Porcelanosa metallic-look tile. Johnson remarks what a good job the homeowners have done matching the counter color to the tile. Bob adds that the cool, dark colors bring a soothing, cooling presence to the interior spaces of this hot-climate home. Bob then watches as the crew from Solid Surfacetops installs the counter pieces and creates an invisible seam. The two sections of Corian are fitted with wood blocks that will hold the clamps as the sections are glued with liquid Corian that matches the countertop and clamped tight to set. Once the glue has set and dried for about 25 minutes, the clamps are removed and the seam is sanded to give a seamless look to this two-piece installation.

Franke Sink and Faucet Installation

The Franke tri-flow Corinthian faucet is being installed now that the countertop and sink are in place. The faucet features hot, cold, and filtered water. The filtration chamber has a ceramic porcelain exterior with an extruded carbon filter inside. Franke recommends that homeowners change the filters every six months. Frank Lowry of FJ Lowry Plumbing and Heating installs the faucet from underneath. The lines come dropped down and ready to attach, which makes it easy. Lowry installs the filtration system and attaches it to a wall-mounted holder. Luke Groden from Boston Basins, a Franke distributor, shows Bob the specialized ball valve with a shutoff to make filter changes simple. The braided hose that attaches the filter to the faucet has a pressure fitting that grips with stainless-steel teeth inside to withstand high water pressure without pulling apart or leaking. Lowry attaches the hoses to the filter, then solders the hot and cold points underneath.

Antique-Look Bathroom Sink and Soaking Tub

Bob checks in on installation of the bathroom plumbing fixtures in this segment. The crew is installing a custom vanity countertop and undermount sinks from TOTO USA. The heavy white marble top is braced on the wall with a wood strip anchored to the studs and supported from the floor with an antique-style chrome legs. Bob points out the acrylic tub from TOTO�s Baldwin Suite. The tub measures 22-inches deep and 72-inches long, making it a true soaking tub. Borrowing from commercial styling, the custom tub surround is constructed of 16-gauge stainless steel that is adhered to a plywood substrate.
