Steps
1.
Placing the sink: Once we decide where the sink will be, we place the pedestal of the sink against the wall and then, we simply put the sink on top of the pedestal. Please make sure to place the sink carefully in order not to damage the ceramics in the bathroom.
2.
Marking with a pencil: After we place the sink against the wall, we mark onto the wall where the holes on the back of the sink are. Once we mark the points, we remove the sink for it will be installed later.
3.
Outlining with a pencil: Let’s outline the pedestal of the sink with a pencil in order to mount it correctly.
4.
Marking the joining points: Let’s now mark the joining points under the pedestal with a pencil. Ater we mark the points let’s remove the pedestal, for it will be mounted later on.
5.
Drilling the marked points: Let’s drill the marked points on the wall with a drill.
6.
Drilling the joining points of the pedestal: After we drill the wall let’s now drill the marked points of the pedestal with a drill.
7.
Nailing on the wall plug: Once we are done drilling let’s use a hammer to nail the wall plug into the drilled holes.
8.
Fixing the screws: We now fix the mounting screws which connect the sink to the wall, by using a combination wrench.
9.
Nailing on the wall plug: We nail on the wall plug to the drilled holes on the floor for the pedestal.
10.
Fixing the pedestal: Let’s now place the pedestal according to the line that we previously marked.
11.
Fixing the plastic protector: After placing the pedestal let’s place the plastic protector onto the joining points. The mounting screw may cause the ceramic to crack therefore we use a plastic protector.
12.
Screwing the pedestal: Let’s now screw the pedestal of our sink to the floor with a screwdriver.
13.
Mounting the sink on to the wall: Let’s begin placing the sink on the pedestal and beginmounting it to the wall.
14.
Fixing the nut: After mounting the sink let’s screw the nut with a combination wrench.
15.
Applying silicone: Silicone will prevent water leakage of the sink. Once all the steps are completed let’s apply white silicone to the corners of our sink using a silicone gun.
