Installation of vanities

Step 1 : GETTING STARTED

Find the highest point of the floor using a « level ».

Step 2 : INSTALLATION

Then, trace a horizontal line using a level to determine the height of your different units (31 1/2” or 80.5 cm for a vanity).

Step 3 : MARKING STUDS LOCATION

Trace horizontal lines as displayed to mark stud positions, using a level or measuring tape.

Use vertical lines to identify studs to firmly anchor units on the wall.

Pro’s advice :
As a general rule, studs are usually spaced at 16” (41 cm) in recent buildings and 12” (30.5 cm) for older ones.

Step 4 - REMOVE DOORS / MARKING DOORS & DRAWERS

With a studed screwdriver, remove all your doors of modules, those of the medecine cabinets.

Remove also all your drawers to facilitate your installation. Identify them to put back them to their origin place at the end.

Step 5 – LEVELING

Make sure the unit is level at the front and on the sides. If necessary, you can use cedar wedges.

Step 6 – ANCHORING TO THE WALL

Anchor the vanity to the wall using « #8 2 ½’’ to 3’’ » wood screws with the wood crosspiece on the back of the vanity.

Step 7 – ANCHORING ALL UNITS

You can use « metal or plastic grips » to help you align all your units. Anchor them with « #6 1 1/8’’» melamine screws.

Step 8 – INSTALLING VANITY DOORS

Reinstalling door.

Step 9 – INSTALLING THE COUNTER

Draw a silicon line on the top edge of the unit where the counter top will be placed as far inside as possible to avoid overflows.

Place the counter top from back to front. Once the counter top is on the vanity, press down until it is firmly set on the silicon lining.

Mask the remaining spaces between the units and between walls and units with the right color silicon.

Step 10 – INSTALLING ACCESSORIES AND CLEANING THE UNITS

Using a non-abrasive cleaning product, clean the units. Install knobs or handles, faucet, lights, etc.
