If there is no specially allocated place on the tabletop, then you have to do everything yourself.
- Mark the contours on the surface with a pencil. Note offsets from edges (5 cm). Perform measurements under the bowl.
Remember that the gap from the edge of the table top to the side of the sink should exceed 50 mm. If this distance is less than 50 cm, then the sink needs to be deepened.
- Make a hole in the corners of the contour.
In order to make a hole in the tabletop will require an electric jigsaw.
- From the outside of the contour to glue masking tape so that the surface around is not damaged when working. Before cutting the opening, fix the part to be removed from below so that it does not damage the surface under it when it falls.
To avoid chipping on the face, choose the opposite direction of the tooth.
- Treat the ends of the table-top with sealant, assemble fully plumbing elements (mixer and siphon) and install. This will allow not to get moisture under the structure, thereby spoiling the look of the furniture by deformation and delamination.
Stepping back a couple of millimeters from the edge of the hole, apply silicone flagella in thickness just above the side of the sink.
- Fix with clamps (included in its package upon purchase).
The sink should be inserted into the hole and the edges should be pressed tightly so that the silicone harnesses take the form of a sink and leave for a few minutes.

The most difficult thing is to make the right hole. If it turns out to be more than what it should be, then the legs will not be able to hold the sink.
Sealant selection
Sealing material plays an important role in the installation work. The following types of products are on the market:
- Silicone Acrylic;
- Elastic silicone;
- Polyurethane silicone.
![sealant](https://designtop.decorexpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/germetik-dlya-vannoj-590x396.jpg)
When buying, you need to pay attention to the features and characteristics of the sealant: shrinkage, adhesion, purpose.
Apply the product on a dry, cleaned surface to maximize grip. If the surfaces are not fully prepared for sealing, moisture may penetrate into the gaps, which is fraught with the reproduction of fungus and mold.
