SILESTONE ® INTEGRITY INSTALLATION
Instructions for the
manual installation
of the integrated sink.
Cosentino does not recommend carrying
out this type of installation.
If you do not have the right tools or the
necessary skills. In this case, use the
first option.
1. Making the sink cut-out
in the worktop.
The worktop cut-out should be 3mm smaller
than the interior size of the sink, although
this will depend on the technician's criteria,
as the smaller the flange, the less you will
have to polish it.

2. Creating a recess for
the worktop cut-out.
A 23 mm wide recess should be made
around the cut-out, so that 5 mm of the
material is left on the surface of the
worktop.

3. Cleaning the parts
to be bonded.
You must clean the two parts to be bonded
(the worktop and the edge of the sink)
with solvent or alcohol before applying the
silicone. Otherwise, the silicone will mix with
any residue left on these parts, making the
worktop and sink not completely sealed and
resulting in a joint with a different colour
than that of the worktop and sink.

4. Applying SoluMastik.
Apply the SoluMastik on the recessed
area of the cut-out.
5. Fixing the sink to the worktop.
After applying the resin, fix the clamps or
jacks to tighten the sink to the worktop.
They must be tightened until as much resin
as possible is expelled, since any remaining
resin could be visible. This type of gluing is
quite similar to when you want to do 2+2 or
a mitre-gluing and you want to hide the joint
between two pieces.
6. Cleaning the parts
to be bonded.
Clean a 10 cm strip around the top of the
outside wall of the sink and the worktop
with alcohol or solvent.

7. Filling the gap between pieces.
Fill the gap between the sink and the
worktop with resin. If this gap is not filled,
the worktop could break around the edge
of the gap. A fibreglass mesh must also be
placed all around the perimeter to reinforce
the joint between the sink and the worktop.

ATTENTION: Do not cover the overflow
hole with the fibreglass mesh.

8. Reinforcing the worktop.
In order to prevent breakage of the worktop
and to reinforce it, fix a wooden baton to the
wall, the distance between the units, on the
underside of the worktop.

9. Bevelling.
Once the sink is bonded to the worktop, you
must polish the remaining edge until the
entire outline is bevelled. This way, the lower
part of the edge will fit the sink joint.
