Our sinks reflect not only the inspiration of the craftsmen but also the individual characteristics of the stone itself. Each block of stone has its own personality, expressed in slight differences, such as veining, small natural gaps, areas of enhanced coloration or flecks of minerals; all of which lends itself to an elegant and distinctive look.  \nEach piece is skillfully made with a small diamond saw and hand-held polishing tool. Our aprons are done by hand, with calculated blows from a hammer and chisel. Therefore, each sink will be a little different; they might not be perfectly symmetrical or there might be a small size differences. These variations and all, create a stone kitchen, bar or prep sink that is not just a centerpiece, but also a sink which is up to the task for everyday use.  \nTOOLS NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY (not included)  \nSpecialized tools may be necessary to install Novatto’s undermount or apron front sinks with countertop materials other than wood, marble, or granite.  \nQuestions, problems, missing parts?

Or email us at: support@novattoinc.com)  \nSteps to Complete Your Under mount Sink Project  \nFarmhouse, bar and prep sinks may require custom cabinetry. We highly recommend consulting an experienced cabinet maker for assistance. Providing the cabinet maker with the actual sink that is to be installed will ensure a custom fit.  \n• Determine reveal type: positive, flush mount or a negative reveal.  \n• Do not place sink directly on floor. After unpacking, place sink on protective material such as the packing materials.  \n• For layout, use the actual sink as the template. No template is provided since each sink will vary slightly.  \n• After centering the sink, place it upside down on counter and mark the countertop by tracing the outline of the sink on to the counter-top to use as a guide for the cutout. Remember to allow clearance for the faucet, backsplash, water supply lines, drain(s), a garbage disposal (if applicable), plus make sure you have full range of motion for your faucet spout and handles.  \n• Measure inside edge of your sink’s lip and mark counter according to your reveal type.  \n• Cut countertop using the inside line. STOP at this point and build your support frame.  \n• Build 2x4 support frame to reinforce area where sink will sit. Make sure ALL edges will be supported. Fasten 3/4” plywood (min. ) to the 2x4 frame, cutting the smallest hole possible for plumbing access. The frame must support the weight of the sink and all attachments.  \nUNDERMOUNT ASSEMBLY  \n3/8” Positive reveal-counter sits 3/8”back from edge of sink  \nFlushed reveal-counter is flush  \nwith edge of sink (not recommended)  \n1/8” Negative reveal-counter extends 1/8”over edge of sink (most popular)  \nCut opening carefully into countertop  \n2x4 reinforcement should be positioned to support  \nall edges of the sink  \nMinimum 3/4” plywood w/ plumbing access cut as small as possible, should be","cbCaipIMruEzKIko","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipIMruEzKIko","pdf",1515553,"English","# Installation\n## Installation Steps\n## Tools Needed\n## Undermount Assembly\n## Troubleshooting Tips - Undermount","[{\"question\":\"What reveal types are available for an undermount sink, and how do they affect positioning?\",\"answer\":\"The guide lists 3/8” positive reveal, flush reveal (not recommended), and 1/8” negative reveal (most popular).
