This sink (www.decolav.com/incandescence/2806.html)
supposedly can be recessed a varying amount or none at all. No recession at all is easy, cut the drain hole and the sink's diameter edge sits on the counter.
But recessing? The unit's sides are perpendicular to the counter top so, (correct me where I'm wrong)
1) gotta cut the hole to the diameter of the unit
2) Decide how deep you want the sink recessed.
3) Fix the sink in place -- but how? Alot of recessed sinks have angled or bowled sides and you can bevel the counter top to support it. But the perpendicular sides of this one puzzle me. The manuf's installation instructs are woeful. I emailed Decolav a week ago. no response.
I presume strapping of some sort -- which would be ok if the counter was particle board or something that can be bitten from underneath but what about stone counters? Other ideas? Do-able?
thanks folks.
ps. If you look at my posts (from earlier this year (June)) that's the bathroom that's finally ready for tiling. It took about 4 months to find carpenters to do the joist leveling. Just an aside.
